MNF Scores Nov 9 on Mac: Track Bills at Vikings Without Tabs
Bills at Vikings on Monday Night Football (Nov 9, 2026), 8:15 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium on ESPN and ABC. Tip times by city, and a Mac widget setup for tonight.
Week 9 Monday Night Football puts the 6–1 Buffalo Bills at the 6–1 Minnesota Vikings on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. ET (7:15 p.m. CT) from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on ESPN and ABC. For fans outside the Eastern time zone, that kickoff is early evening, late night, or Tuesday morning.
This page is for tonight's MNF game. It does not replace the November 2 MNF guide (Bears at Seahawks), the October 29 TNF guide (Panthers at Packers), the October 22 TNF guide, or the Sunday Night Football guide.
To follow the score without a stream or a score app open all night, put four things one shortcut away on your Mac: a scores widget, an NFL news feed, a #MNF, Bills, or Vikings keyword watch, and an optional countdown to kickoff.

Tonight's game is still pregame
As of Asia-morning research on November 9, 2026, Bills at Vikings had not kicked off. The table below is the scheduled tip, and the score is still 0–0. Open the ESPN game page (gameId 401873051) once the game starts, and use that page for the live total.
MNF is one national game. A panel you open over whatever you are doing covers that hour, then the same panel covers later nights.
Kickoff time in your zone
Kickoff is Monday, November 9, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, which is 7:15 p.m. Central at U.S. Bank Stadium (2026-11-10T01:15Z). The United States returned to standard time on November 1, so use EST / CST / PST labels tonight. Europe is already on winter time.
| City | Kickoff local time |
|---|---|
| New York (EST) | Mon, 8:15 p.m. |
| Chicago (CST) | Mon, 7:15 p.m. |
| Los Angeles (PST) | Mon, 5:15 p.m. |
| London (GMT) | Tue, 1:15 a.m. |
| Berlin / Paris (CET) | Tue, 2:15 a.m. |
| Beijing | Tue, 9:15 a.m. |
| Tokyo (JST) | Tue, 10:15 a.m. |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Tue, 12:15 p.m. |
For much of Asia and Australia, MNF lands in the Tuesday morning work block.
Why a pinned scoreboard page often stays blank
The obvious idea is to pin ESPN's NFL scoreboard or the game page in a web-view widget. It often stays blank: ESPN's NFL scoreboard and game pages tell browsers not to show them inside another app's frame. The same limit is already spelled out in the November 2 MNF, TNF, and SNF guides.
Build the scores widget from the score data, and use a feed for the headlines.
Set up tonight's MNF tracker in Kepo
Kepo keeps small widgets in a floating panel you open with a global shortcut, over any app, including full-screen ones. Four widgets cover Monday night.
1. Tonight's score (built with AI)
Kepo has no fixed NFL plugin, so describe the widget you want. Name the source, the fields, and the refresh:
- Prompt example: "Show tonight's NFL game, Bills at Vikings, from a public scoreboard source: both teams, the score, the quarter and clock, or the kickoff time in my time zone if the game has not started. Put my team first. Refresh every 2 minutes while a game is live."
- Check it: compare the first result with the ESPN game page before you rely on it, and keep the widget to this one game.
2. NFL news feed
- Widget: RSS Reader, which reads one RSS or Atom feed.
- Feed URL:
https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/nfl/news - What it shows: the newest NFL headlines with links, such as inactives before kickoff and a recap after the final whistle.
3. #MNF, Bills, or Vikings on X
- Widget: X Keyword Watch from the X widgets.
- Keyword: one team or tag, for example
#MNF,Bills, orVikings. - What it shows: the latest posts from X's Live results for that keyword. Sign in to X first for reliable results.
4. Optional: a countdown to kickoff
Add an Event Timer countdown named BUF @ MIN kickoff. The countdown runs for a length of time from when you save it, so pick Hour or Minute as the unit and enter the time left. It is a display only and sends no reminder.
Score apps and tabs vs one shortcut panel
A floating panel covers the score, feed, and keyword watch without keeping a stack of score tabs or a phone app open all night.
| Tabs and phone apps | Kepo panel | |
|---|---|---|
| Live score | Reload a page or unlock your phone | Scores widget refreshes on its own |
| Injury and recap news | Scroll a site's front page | One feed, newest first |
| Reactions | X tab you keep scrolling | Keyword widget, glance and close |
| During work | Switch away from your app | One shortcut over the app, one to hide |
Keep the panel small. One scores widget and one news feed answer most MNF nights. Add the keyword watch and the countdown only if you check them. The same pattern already works for last week's MNF, TNF, SNF, and the NBA season guide if you follow more than one sport.

FAQ
What time is Bills at Vikings tonight?
8:15 p.m. ET / 7:15 p.m. CT on Monday, November 9, 2026, from U.S. Bank Stadium on ESPN and ABC. Convert with the table above for your city. The US is on standard time after November 1.
Is there an NFL scores widget for Mac?
macOS has no built-in NFL scores widget. With Kepo you can describe one to its AI builder, using a public scoreboard as the source, and keep it next to a news feed in one panel.
Can I pin ESPN's NFL scoreboard in a widget?
You can try, but ESPN's NFL scoreboard and game pages block being shown inside another app's frame, so a web-view widget may stay blank. A widget built from score data, plus an RSS feed for news, is more reliable.
Will the widget alert me when the game ends?
The widgets in this setup are for glancing: open the panel and see the current state. They do not send notifications by themselves.
Get set up for tonight's MNF
Set it up once and reuse it on later Mondays and Sundays: a scores widget, the ESPN NFL feed, one keyword watch, and a kickoff countdown if you want it, all behind one shortcut. Download Kepo for your Apple silicon Mac and add the first widget in a few minutes.
