The standard formulation of the PDE system of Mean Field Games (MFG) requires the differentiability of the Hamiltonians. However in many cases, the structure of the underlying optimal problem leads to a convex but non-differentiable Hamiltonian. For time-dependent MFG systems, we introduce a generalization of the problem as a Partial Differential Inclusions (PDI) by interpreting the derivative of the Hamiltonian in terms of the subdifferential set. In particular, we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the resulting MFG PDI system under standard assumptions in the literature. We propose a monotone stabilized finite element discretization of the problem, using conforming affine elements in space and an implicit Euler discretization in time with mass-lumping. We prove the strong convergence in $L^2(H^1)$ of the value function approximations, and strong convergence in $L^p(L^2)$ of the density function approximations, together with strong $L^2$-convergence of the value function approximations at the initial time.
