Monday Night Football: What TV channel is Cowboys-Chargers on tonight? Live stream
The Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers face off Monday, Oct. 16. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).
Monday night’s game gives the Cowboys (3-2) an extra day to deal with the shock of their 42-10 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.
The Chargers (2-2) are coming off their bye week and will have some key starters back. Quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with a fractured middle finger on his left non-throwing hand that is not expected to keep him from playing.
While Dallas’ 28-16 loss at Arizona on Sept. 24 was surprising, the defeat at San Francisco hit the Cowboys differently.
One positive for the Cowboys: They are 9-1 in games following a loss since the start of 2021.
Los Angeles is expected to have running back Austin Ekeler and safety Derwin James back for its first prime-time game of the season. Ekeler rushed for 117 yards in the opener against Miami but was sidelined the past three games with an ankle injury.
James suffered a hamstring injury at Minnesota on Sept. 24 and was inactive the following week against Las Vegas.
