WABC-TV serves as the local over-the-air broadcaster of ''[[Monday Night Football]]'' games, airing simulcasts of the ESPN-televised games carried nationally on ABC. However, ESPN-only ''MNF'' telecasts involving the Giants or [[New York Jets|Jets]] air locally on [[WPIX]].<ref name="wpix-mnf">{{cite news|date=September 16, 2019|title=PIX11 to air three Monday night football games this season, starting with Jets vs. Browns tonight|language=en|work=PIX 11|publisher=[[WPIX]]|url=https://pix11.com/2019/09/16/pix11-to-air-three-monday-night-football-games-this-season-starting-with-jets-vs-browns-tonight/|access-date=October 23, 2019|archive-date=October 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023192636/https://pix11.com/2019/09/16/pix11-to-air-three-monday-night-football-games-this-season-starting-with-jets-vs-browns-tonight/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Previously, the station carried coverage of the Giants' victory in [[Super Bowl XXV]].

Since 2013, WABC-TV serves as the exclusive local English-language carrier of the annual [[New York City Marathon]]. The station preempts a weekend edition of ''Good Morning America'' and delays ''This Week'' to schedule time for the live broadcast. The marathon is also simulcast on [[ESPN2]] nationally (although viewers in the Tri-State area cannot see it via ESPN2 because the simulcast is blacked out locally).

WABC-TV currently airs any [[New York Knicks]] and [[Brooklyn Nets]] games televised via the ''[[NBA on ABC]]''. The station has aired the Knicks' appearances in the [[1970 NBA Finals|1970]], [[1972 NBA Finals|1972]] and [[1973 NBA Finals]] (where the Knicks won in 1970 and 1973), as well as the then-New Jersey Nets' appearance in the [[2003 NBA Finals]].

WABC-TV aired [[New York Rangers]], [[New York Islanders]] and [[New Jersey Devils]] games carried through the ''[[NHL on ABC]]''; this included the Devils' victories in the [[2000 Stanley Cup Finals|2000]] and [[2003 Stanley Cup Finals]], as well as their appearance in the [[2001 Stanley Cup Finals]]. Beginning in [[2021–22 NHL season|2021]], it officially reassumed this duty, this time as the OTA simulcast partner of the ''[[NHL on ESPN]]''.

Through the ABC portion of the ''[[MLS on ESPN]]'' package, WABC-TV aired [[2021 New York City FC season|New York City FC]]'s victory in the [[2021 MLS Cup]] and the [[2008 New York Red Bulls season|New York Red Bulls]]' appearance in the [[2008 MLS Cup]].

WABC-TV also previously aired any [[New York Yankees]] and [[New York Mets]] games through [[Major League Baseball on ABC|ABC's baseball contract]]; this included the Yankees' victory in the [[1977 World Series]] and appearance in the [[1981 World Series]].
