The Bengals vs. Chicago Bears game is being shown on CBS as the main U.S. television broadcaster, with several legal streaming options depending on your location and subscriptions.

Main TV channel

  • National/Regional TV: The matchup is carried on CBS as part of the Sunday afternoon NFL slate.
  • If you are in the Bengals or Bears local markets, it should appear on your local CBS affiliate (check your electronic program guide or local listings).

Streaming options

  • Paramount+ (with LIVE TV tier): Streams the NFL on CBS, including local CBS games like Bengals vs. Bears in eligible markets.
  • NFL+ (mobile/tablet): Streams live local and primetime regular-season games on phones and tablets, which can include Bengals vs. Bears if it is your local game.
  • YouTube TV / NFL Sunday Ticket: NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV offers out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, which may cover Bengals vs. Bears if it’s not local in your area (subject to blackout rules and package type).

Official team platforms

  • Cincinnati Bengals site: Lists official broadcast partners like NFL+, Paramount+, and FOX Sports for various games and markets.
  • Chicago Bears site & app: Bears games are available live on CBS or FOX, and select fans in local markets can stream via the Bears app or ChicagoBears.com on iOS Safari when the game is on local TV, subject to geo-restrictions.

Extra fan-focused streams (commentary only)

These are not full game broadcasts, but they provide live scoreboard, discussion, and play‑by‑play overviews:

  • Bengals Breakdown on YouTube: Runs a live “watch-along” stream with scoreboard, play‑by‑play and analysis for Bengals vs. Bears (no game video).
  • Other Bears fan channels and shows also do postgame and live discussion around the matchup, but you still need a TV/streaming provider for the actual game footage.

Tip:
Check your ZIP code in your TV provider or CBS/Paramount+ app to confirm whether Bengals vs. Bears is the specific CBS game airing in your region, since CBS often has multiple simultaneous Sunday games.
