Millions of DirecTV customers lost Disney networks, including pay-TV networks like ESPN and FX , last week amid a battle over contract bundling and fees.

The blackout left customers without access to the U.S. Open and the debut of college football this season .

Now it could mean they won't be able to watch the NFL 's opening " Monday Night Football " game on ESPN .

The dispute between DirecTV and Disney has led to mudslinging between the two companies.

Charter pushed for its customers to receive access to Disney 's ad-supported streaming apps, Disney+ and ESPN+. ESPN 's Pitaro referenced those negotiations that took place with Charter a year ago .
