NFL broadcasts split into three buckets that determine where each Chicago Bears game airs: local CBS or FOX broadcasts for most Sunday afternoon matchups, national windows on NBC (Sunday Night Football), ESPN/ABC (Monday Night Football), Amazon Prime Video (Thursday Night Football), and Peacock or Netflix for select streaming-exclusive games. International series and Christmas-week games sometimes shift to YouTube, Peacock, or Netflix.
Cord-cutters reach the bulk of the schedule through Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or DirecTV Stream — each carries the major over-the-air networks. For every game outside your local market, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV or NFL+ covers the gap. Use the provider filters above to see which upcoming Chicago Bears games are watchable on the services you already pay for.
