YouTube TV, Disney carriage dispute: How to watch Eagles vs. Packers MNF game

by: Nick Geddes 1 hour ago NickGeddesNews

In just a few hours, the Green Bay Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football to close out of the Week 10 NFL slate. Of course, YouTube TV customers want to know how they can watch as the carriage dispute with Disney continues.

As Front Office Sports’   Michael McCarthy previously reported, the league is allowing ESPN to simulcast Monday Night Football on ABC in Week 10 and Week 11. By simulcasting Monday Night Football to ABC , subscribers can buy an antenna and watch the Packers-Eagles game over the air if they cannot watch on YouTube TV .

ABC and ESPN have both been blacked out on YouTube TV for more than a week after Disney ’s carriage deal with YouTube TV expired. The two sides continue to negotiate, and the dispute has cost YouTube TV ’s roughly 10 million subscribers two weeks of college football action.

The carriage deal between Disney and YouTube TV expired Oct. 30 at 11:59 p.m. ET. However, the networks went dark at approx. 11:27 p.m. ET that night – prior to the deal’s expiration. The blackout then continued through Week 10 of the college football season, as well as the Week 9 Monday Night Football matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.
