The Bears–Packers Wild Card game is streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the United States, with additional free options like TVNZ+ in New Zealand for some international viewers. Local markets in Chicago and Green Bay also get the game via their usual over‑the‑air affiliates, but everyone else needs access to Prime Video.

Main streaming options

  • Amazon Prime Video (primary stream) : The game is listed as an exclusive Prime Video broadcast for the NFC Wild Card matchup, with an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Soldier Field. If you are in the U.S. and not in a local broadcast market, you will need a Prime Video subscription and compatible device (smart TV, streaming stick, console, or mobile app).
  • TVNZ+ (free international option) : TVNZ+ is offering a free live stream of Packers vs. Bears for viewers in New Zealand, accessible with a free account on that platform. Some guides note that people outside New Zealand sometimes use VPN services to access TVNZ+, but availability and legality depend on local rules and the service’s terms.

Local TV and alternatives

  • Local broadcast in team markets : Coverage notes indicate that while the game is a streaming exclusive nationally, it is still made available on local TV in the Chicago and Green Bay home markets via their partner stations so fans without streaming can watch. Check your local listings (Chicago and Green Bay/ Wisconsin affiliates) if you are in either market.
  • Watch‑along and scoreboards : There are live “watch‑along” streams on platforms like YouTube (for example, fan channels running a live scoreboard and commentary), but they do not show the actual game footage, just fan reactions and discussion. These can be a companion while you watch on Prime Video, but they are not a replacement for the official stream.
