Monday Night Combat is a downloadable third-person shooter video game developed by Uber Entertainment. It was published by Microsoft Studios on the Xbox 360 and by Uber Entertainment and Valve Corporation for Microsoft Windows. It was released on August 11, 2010 on the Xbox 360 as part of Microsoft's 2010 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade and is distributed through Xbox Live Arcade.

Monday Night Combat is a class-based third-person shooter game in which two teams are pitted against each other in a fictional combat setting similar to that of a tower defense title. The competitors on each team are clones, and the goal is to destroy the other team's Moneyball, a stationary objective which houses the team's money, while protecting their own. It is presented to the player as the Monday Night Football sport of the future.
The game was well received by critics, averaging 79.24% at GameRankings and 79 out of 100 at Metacritic, two video game aggregate websites. Reviewers were generally universal in praising the quality of the game in comparison to the cost. The game's graphics and art style were also praised. Critics noted that the six character classes were well suited to the tower defense style of gameplay. As of year-end 2011, Monday Night Combat has sold over 307,000 copies on Xbox Live Arcade.
Monday Night Combat is a shooter played from a third person perspective. It combines a class-based character selection system with team-based objectives in the style of Defense of the Ancients. Its background is that of a futuristic replacement for Monday Night Football in which cloned soldiers battle against each other for money.
