FAQ
What channel is the Bears game on this week?
The next Chicago Bears game is on the road at the Atlanta Falcons on Sun, Oct 18 at 12:00 PM CDT. It airs on FOX, a regional Sunday-afternoon broadcast shown in the teams’ markets and other areas the network picks.
How can I stream Chicago Bears games without cable?
This season, stream FOX games on Fox One, CBS games on Paramount+, ESPN games on the ESPN app, and NBC games on Peacock. CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC are also free over the air with an antenna, and NFL+ streams live local and prime-time games on phones and tablets.
How many Bears games are on national TV in 2026?
7 of the 17 games listed are in national windows (prime time, Thursday, Monday, holidays or international games) and 9 are Sunday-afternoon CBS or FOX games shown regionally. The network for the other game has not been set yet.
Can I watch Bears games outside Chicago?
National games air everywhere on their network. Sunday-afternoon CBS and FOX games only reach the areas the network picks, so out-of-market fans need NFL Sunday Ticket (YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels) to see every one.
When is the Bears bye week in 2026?
The Chicago Bears are off in Week 7.
What does "TV TBA" mean?
The NFL leaves some late-season games unscheduled (flex games) and sets their day, kickoff time and network during the season. This page refreshes automatically several times a day and shows them as soon as they are set.
