How to watch Bears vs. Commanders for free on Monday Night Football

A MNF doubleheader continues tonight as the Chicago Bears head to Maryland for a matchup with the Washington Commanders.

The 2-2 Bears, well rested from a bye week in Week 5, are coming into this week riding a two-game winning streak. Washington also won their last game, 27-10, against the Los Angeles Chargers as quarterback Jayden Daniels returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Last season, the Bears and Commanders’ Week 8 meeting ended in a particularly exciting manner as Daniels threw a game-winning 52-yard Hail Mary pass in the final seconds of the game.

Here’s how to tune in to Monday Night Football without cable.

Bears vs. Commanders time:

Bears vs. Commanders is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET tonight, Oct. 13, on ABC.
