How to watch Cowboys vs. Texans on Monday Night Football with & without cable

When the Houston Texans were first revealed as one of the Dallas Cowboys' 2024 opponents, everyone circled it on their calendars. Not only was it a matchup of two playoff teams, but it would mark the first time Trevon Diggs and Stefon Diggs played against each other.

Unfortunately, Stefon Diggs is out for the season with a torn ACL suffered two weeks ago, so the Diggs brothers will have to wait a little longer to lock horns on an NFL field. That would have made for a fun storyline because there isn't much else to be excited about concerning the Cowboys.

Even though the season is lost, Diggs, Micah Parsons, and CeeDee Lamb are still capable of producing greatness and the roster has some promising young players who are worth keeping around.

The game will be played on Monday Night Football so it's a great opportunity for players like DeMarvion Overshown and Rico Dowdle to introduce themselves to the country. Whether you are a Cowboys fan or rooting for Dallas' downfall, we've got you covered on how to watch this primetime clash.

How to watch Cowboys vs. Texans on TV

Cowboys-Texans is the only Monday Night Football game this week. It will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN. Joe Buck will have the play-by-play and Cowboys legend Troy Aikman will provide color commentary. Buck and Aikman are in their 23rd season calling games together.

Aikman's analysis of the free-falling Cowboys makes for an interesting subplot. The Hall of Fame quarterback and three-time Super Bowl champion cannot be thrilled by what's taking place both on and off the field with his former team.

Cowboys fans can also catch the game on ESPN2, which will have the ManningCast. Peyton and Eli Manning provide unique analysis and commentary while hosting a variety of guests.

How to stream Cowboys vs. Texans on MNF

There are multiple ways to stream Cowboys-Texans. FuboTV is one option and offers a free seven-day free trial to new users. There is also NFL Sunday Ticket, which is now on YouTube and offers easy access to watch every Cowboys game and every out-of-market NFL game this season.

Fans can also download the ESPN app or visit ESPN.com to stream the game, but that is contingent on you logging in to your cable provider.

The last time the Cowboys and Texans played was in 2022. The game was closer than expected, but Dallas ultimately pulled through with a 27-23 victory. Ezekiel Elliott scored the game-winning touchdown with 41 seconds left in regulation.

We can only hope Monday's game is that competitive.
