Chicago Bears

Bears games air on FOX, CBS, NBC (Sunday Night Football), ESPN (Monday Night Football), and Prime Video for Thursday night games. Most Sunday afternoon games are on FOX, while select matchups move to CBS or the primetime networks depending on the week.

NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV lets you watch all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games for $479 per season. The 2026 Bears schedule includes about 7 games eligible for Sunday Ticket, since nationally televised and primetime games are blacked out.

An antenna pulls in local FOX and CBS broadcasts for free if you're in the Chicago market. For streaming, Peacock ($7.99/month) covers Sunday Night Football games, and a Prime membership ($14.99/month) includes Thursday Night Football.

The Bears' regular season kicks off Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM CDT against the Carolina Panthers. Week 1 preseason starts August 15 against Cleveland.

Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Luther Burden III anchor the offense heading into 2026. The Bears are counting heavily on the Williams-to-Burden connection this season after Burden's arrival.

Soldier Field on Chicago's Near South Side hosts all Bears home games. The stadium, originally opened in 1924 and rebuilt in 2003, is one of the NFL's oldest venues.

NFL Game Pass International streams every NFL game live and on-demand outside the U.S. and Canada. The Bears are also touring the UK in summer 2026, with stops in Manchester and other cities.
