How to Watch Bears Games as Cheap as Possible
In Market
You can check here to see which local games are in your market. Primetime games are always considered “in-market” everywhere in the United States.
If your goal is to watch every Bears game at the lowest possible total cost, here’s our step-by-step recommendation on what to do:
- For the Fox games (Week 14, 15, 16, 18), sign up for a different free trial of Fox One or Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”
- If you don’t have free trials available, sign up for Fox One for $20 per month.
- Before the Week 17 game (NBC), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11.
That’s it. Depending on the free trials you have available, and the way you time them out, that’s somewhere between $11 and $31 to watch every remaining Bears game from in market.
Also note: You can sign up for NFL+ for just $7 per month and watch every single Bears game (both in market and primetime). However, you can only watch games live on your phone or tablet. They’ll be blocked (until they’re available as replays) on your TV or PC.
Out of Market
If the Bears play outside your market, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible:
- Before the Week 14 game, sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket to watch every non-primetime out-of-market game (Week 14, 15, 18).
- It was on sale, but it’s unfortunately now back up to $150 for the rest of the season.
- Before the Week 16 game (Fox primetime), sign up for a different free trial of Fox One or Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”
- If you don’t have free trials available, sign up for Fox One for $20 per month.
- Before the Week 17 game (NBC), sign up for a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan”.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, sign up for one month of Peacock “Premium” for $11.
Canada & International
This one’s pretty simple: If you live outside of the United States (excluding China), you can sign up for NFL Game Pass on DAZN and watch every single NFL game live.
The pricing depends on your country.
How to Watch Bears Games With as Few Streaming Services as Possible
In Market
If you aren’t as concerned with price and simply want to minimize the amount of streaming services you sign up for, sign up for one of these:
All of these will give you access to dozens of live TV channels, including CBS, NBC and Fox in most markets.
All of the aforementioned live-TV streaming services offer first-month deals, and there are free trials for Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV available if you want to mix and match to cut down the total price a bit.
But if you simply want one service for the rest of the season, we would go with Fubo.
Out of Market
For the out-of-market fans, this option isn’t really different than the one above. You’ll need NFL Sunday Ticket to watch every non-primetime, out-of-market game that is televised on CBS or Fox.
Then, you’ll also need a streaming service (such as Fubo, DirecTV Stream or YouTube TV) for the nationally televised Week 16 (Fox) and Week 17 (NBC) games.
That will give you every Bears game for the remainder of the season.
