Which games are on Monumental

Monumental carries most Capitals and Wizards games and Mystics games in season. Some games air only on national networks, such as ESPN, ABC or TNT for hockey and ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock or Prime Video for basketball. Those games won't be on Monumental or Monumental+. Check the team schedule for each game's TV listing.

Is Monumental+ cheaper than cable?

The current $179.99 annual price is less than twelve $19.99 monthly payments ($239.88), but the right comparison depends on how many months you will watch. Include any separate national-game services and confirm renewal terms. If an existing TV package includes the network and app authentication, test that login before paying twice.
