Who is playing on Monday Night Football this week?

The Buffalo Bills get their 2023 season underway by taking a trip down to East Rutherford, New Jersey where they'll face the New York Jets.

The Jets finished bottom of the AFC East last season with a 7-10 record, but this season Aaron Rodgers is in town.

That sets up a quarterback clash between Rodgers and Josh Allen, one veteran of the game versus a rising star.

The Jets have lost five of their last six games against the Bills and will be looking to fix that on Monday Night Football.

What time is Monday Night Football in the UK?

Monday Night Football in the UK is really Tuesday morning football.

While it can be a real struggle to stay awake, we recommend tuning in for this one.

The kickoff time in the US is 8:15 p.m. ET, which means for us UK viewers the game will get going at around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday morning.
