US Trends

where to watch bears vs packers

For most recent and upcoming Bears vs. Packers games, the matchup is typically carried on one of the main NFL broadcast partners in the US—FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, or Amazon—plus the NFL’s own streaming platforms and cable-style services that carry those channels.

Main ways to watch

  • Broadcast TV: Recent Bears–Packers regular-season games have most often aired on FOX as part of the NFC package, depending on time slot and flex scheduling.
  • Cable / live TV packages: If the game is on FOX, CBS, NBC, or ESPN in your market, any cable or satellite package that includes that channel will carry it. Many local-market viewers can just tune in via their standard TV provider.

Streaming options

  • Live TV streaming services: Platforms that include local FOX/CBS/NBC plus ESPN (depending on who has the rights for that game) usually carry Bears vs. Packers when it’s in your local market. Common examples used recently for this matchup include:
    • DirecTV streaming packages with FOX in the channel lineup.
* Fubo (live TV streaming that also carries FOX in many markets).
  • Network apps and sites: When FOX has the game, it is often available through the FOX Sports app or FOXSports.com for authenticated cable/streaming subscribers in the broadcast area.

Out-of-market and alternatives

  • Out-of-market viewing: If you are outside the local broadcast regions, NFL out-of-market products (such as the league’s own Sunday Ticket–style offerings, depending on your location and season) are usually required to guarantee access to Bears–Packers games live. These are sold separately from standard streaming bundles. General Packers listings stress checking local CBS/FOX carriage and then using the associated streaming option (for example via Paramount+ when CBS carries a Packers game).
  • Non-TV watch-alongs: If you cannot access an official stream, fan “watch party” channels on YouTube provide live radio-style commentary and scoreboard coverage (no actual broadcast video), which is one way fans follow Bears–Packers in real time.

How to be sure for this week

  • Check:
    • Your local TV listings for FOX/CBS/NBC/ESPN on the date of the next Bears–Packers game. Many schedule hubs list which channel carries each game, similar to how FOX Sports lists Bears games by date and broadcaster.
* Your preferred streaming service’s **channel lineup** to confirm it includes the network that has rights to that specific game in your area.
