The Chicago Bears vs. Cincinnati Bengals game is being carried on CBS, with streaming options through Paramount+ (for NFL on CBS games) and NFL+ for mobile/local streaming, plus other live TV streamers that carry CBS in your area. Local options and blackout rules may affect what you can watch, so checking your ZIP on a streaming service or TV provider site is important.

Main ways to watch

  • Traditional TV:
    • Over-the-air on your local CBS station if the game is in your market.
* Via cable or satellite packages that include CBS.
  • Streaming services with CBS:
    • Paramount+ with the live “local CBS” option for NFL on CBS broadcasts.
* Live TV bundles that carry CBS in many markets (for example, some tiers on major streamers support local CBS; availability varies by region).
  • NFL-focused options:
    • NFL+ for in-market mobile and tablet streaming of live local and primetime games.
* NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube/YouTube TV for out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, if this matchup is out-of-market for you.

Team and league official options

  • Chicago Bears official site & app:
    • The Bears list official “ways to watch” and link to TV, streaming, and audio options, plus their iOS app which can stream games free in-market when available.
* Their gameday guide for Bears vs. Bengals usually aggregates TV channel, stream links, and local radio info in one place.
  • Radio and audio streams:
    • Local Bears radio coverage (such as ESPN 1000 in Chicago) is available on terrestrial radio and sometimes via station or team apps, subject to regional restrictions.

Quick tips before kickoff

  • Confirm your ZIP code on Paramount+ or any live TV streamer to be sure CBS in your area is included and that the Bears–Bengals game is the one being shown.
  • If you are out of market , check if NFL Sunday Ticket or a national window (e.g., if it is the featured CBS game) covers you; otherwise, you may only see another regional game.
