The 49ers bookend Monday Night Football's campaign (Week 1 and 17), first by hosting the New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and then punctuating the franchise's season with an NFC Championship rematch against the Detroit Lions. Overall, the entire Monday Night Football schedule is decorated with the league's best teams, most popular players, and storylines throughout the season. Highlights:

Texas-Sized Showdown: Dallas Cowboys will host in-state foe Houston Texans (Week 11), followed by a matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals (Week 14).

NFL's Next Superstars: The 2024 NFL Draft's first two overall selections, Bears' Caleb Williams and Commanders' Jayden Daniels (Week 3), will presumably make their Monday Night Football debut, with Williams going head-to-head, potentially, with Vikings' J.J. McCarthy (Week 15). Marvin Harrison Jr. will make his debut against Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers (Week 7).

Week 18 Doubleheader Saturday:Two games with playoff implications will take place Saturday, January 4 (4:30 p.m. ET and 8:15 p.m.) on ESPN, ABC and ESPN+. Both matchups will be announced following Week 17.

Peyton and Eli Return for Fourth Season

Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli is back for its fourth season, adding an 11th game to their schedule which will begin in Week 1. The remaining schedule will be announced before the start of the season.
