The New York Giants hit the road for the first time in 2026 when they visit the Los Angeles Rams for Monday Night Football on Sept. 21.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The game will air nationally on ESPN and ABC, with an alternate ManningCast presentation available on ESPN2.

What Channel Is Giants vs. Rams On?

TV: ESPN and ABC
Alternate broadcast: ESPN2 — Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli
Spanish broadcast: ESPN Deportes

Kickoff: 8:15 p.m. ET / 7:15 p.m. CT / 6:15 p.m. MT / 5:15 p.m. PT

Because Giants-Rams is a nationally televised Monday Night Football game, viewers across the United States can watch on ESPN or ABC rather than dealing with the regional broadcast maps used for most Sunday afternoon games.

How to Stream Giants vs. Rams

NFL+ will provide live access on eligible mobile devices. Giants.com also lists NFL+ as an official streaming option for the matchup.

Viewers with a participating TV provider can also use ESPN’s normal authenticated viewing options for the ESPN broadcast.

Who Is Calling Giants-Rams?

ESPN’s lead Monday Night Football crew will handle the game:

Joe Buck — play-by-play
Troy Aikman — analyst
Lisa Salters — sideline reporter
Laura Rutledge — sideline reporter

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning will also return with the ManningCast on ESPN2.

Why Giants-Rams Is Worth Watching

The Giants enter Monday night at 1-0 after opening the season with a 28-20 win over Dallas. Second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns while adding 54 rushing yards in the victory.

Los Angeles enters at 0-1 after its 27-7 loss to San Francisco in the NFL’s Australia opener. The Rams now get their first game at SoFi Stadium and will also debut their Classic Sol alternate uniforms, which honor the franchise’s 1951 championship team.

That gives Monday night two very different storylines.

New York is trying to prove that its Week 1 performance was the start of something sustainable under John Harbaugh.

The Rams are trying to avoid an 0-2 start after entering the season with championship expectations.

How to Listen to Giants vs. Rams

Giants fans can hear the game on WFAN 101.9 FM and 660 AM, with Bob Papa on play-by-play, Carl Banks as analyst and Howard Cross reporting from the sideline.

The Rams’ local radio broadcast will air on ESPN LA 710 AM, while Spanish-language coverage is available on La Primera 1330 AM.
