The Chicago Bears are set to take on the Buffalo Bills today in an NFL preseason game. Coach Matt Eberflus has yet to announce whether Caleb Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will be starting in this matchup.
The Bears vs. Bills game will take place on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). It can be viewed on NFL Network and streamed on platforms like Sling TV.
For those without cable, the most affordable option to view the game is through Sling TV. A subscription to either the Orange or Blue tier is required to access NFL Network, and it’s recommended to upgrade to the Orange + Blue tier for broader coverage of NFL games this fall. Currently, the Orange + Blue plan is available for $30 for the first month, down from the usual $60, while the Blue plan starts at $45 per month and offers NBC, USA, and E! channels.
Sling TV also has a promotional offer for those who prepay for four months, costing $219 instead of $300, which includes the Sports Extra plan with additional sports channels. Since Sling TV does not provide CBS, subscribers may consider adding Paramount+ to their plan.
Additional streaming options include FuboTV, which provides access to nearly every NFL game and offers a seven-day free trial. FuboTV’s Pro Tier includes more than 180 channels, including NFL Network, and offers 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage.
Hulu + Live TV is another alternative for watching NFL games, featuring 90 channels and unlimited DVR storage. It comes bundled with ESPN+ and Disney+ for $77 per month after a three-day free trial.
For those wishing to stream games on their phone, NFL+ offers access to the NFL Network and out-of-market games, with subscriptions starting at $40 per year.
As fans gear up for the upcoming NFL season, the Amazon NFL Fan Shop is an excellent destination for officially licensed fan merchandise, featuring jerseys, team flags, and more, along with great deals on sports-watching TVs.
