For the third consecutive year, the NFL has teamed up with Disney to offer an “altcast” of Monday Night Football, featuring beloved animated characters.
This year, the setting is Monstropolis, the home of Pixar’s “Monsters, Inc.” Previously, the games took place in Andy’s bedroom from “Toy Story” in 2023 and at Springfield’s Atoms Stadium in 2024 from “The Simpsons.” Tonight’s matchup is between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Chargers.
