Bears vs Packers live stream: How to watch Sunday Night Football online tonight

Tonight, the Bears vs Packers live stream gives Sunday Night Football a big rivalry game to look forward to. Shockingly (though the season is only a week in) the Bears are the ones tied for the NFC North lead after beating the San Francisco 49ers in a rain-soaked affair. However, the Packers are 22-5 against the Bears since Aaron Rodgers took over under center, so they will look to bounce back from their Week 1 loss in this NFL live stream.

Week 1 was a wild one for both of these teams. Nobody thought the Bears would be good this year, and they certainly were not favored against the San Francisco 49ers despite being at home in Chicago. But they surprised everyone by beating the Niners in a waterlogged Soldier Field. Some of that may have come down to a poor showing from Niners quarterback Trey Lance, who only took over in San Francisco this year.

By comparison, Aaron Rodgers definitely does not lack any experience as a starter — not that it helped in Week 1. The Packers looked awful against the Vikings, losing by over two touchdowns. It was not all Rodgers’s fault; rookie wide receiver Christian Watson dropped a sure touchdown and Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson had nearly as many receiving yards as the entire Packers offense.

Week 2 gives the Packers a chance to reset, and they almost certainly will. Rodgers (opens in new tab) famously declared “I still own you!” to Bears fans last season and the numbers bear (sorry, Chicago) that out. Plus, Packers WR Allen Lazard is finally back at practice, and if he plays Rodgers will have a much-needed weapon.

But this Bears team is not last year’s team, and maybe Week 1 was the start of a positive trend. After some less-than-perfect seasons under Matt Nagy, Matt Eberflus is now the head coach of Da Bears and the fresh start could already be working for Chicago. We will have to wait until kickoff to find out if the Bears’ winning ways are a trend or just a blip.

At the moment, according to the Action Network (opens in new tab) the Bears are 10-point road underdogs against the Packers in Lambeau Field. Green Bay is a -110 moneyline bet.

Bears vs Packers live streams in the US

In the U.S., the Bears vs Packers live stream is going to be broadcast on NBC, which is available with most cable packages and on two of our favorite streaming services fuboTV and Sling TV. 

The game starts at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT Sunday (Sept. 18). 

If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn’t include CBS, and RedZone is available with the Sports Extra add-on). You can get your local CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus if you want.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you’ll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That’s why it’s one of the best streaming services.

It’s a case of “you get what you pay for” as Sling Orange & Blue (which you’d need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $70 per month.

Oh, and if you’re OK with just watching the Bears vs Packers live stream on mobile devices (phones and tablets), it’s also available on the $4.99 per month NFL Plus.
