The Chicago Bears are set to compete against the Buffalo Bills in an NFL preseason game today. Head coach Matt Eberflus has not yet disclosed whether Caleb Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will take the field as the starting quarterback.
Here’s how you can watch the Chicago Bears versus Buffalo Bills game:
The matchup is scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). Fans can view the game live on NFL Network and stream it via Sling TV among other platforms.
For those without cable or NFL Network access, there are affordable streaming options available. Sling TV remains a popular choice, requiring a subscription to either the Orange or Blue tiers to access NFL Network. Currently, Sling TV is offering a promotion: the Orange + Blue plan, which typically costs $60 monthly, is available for just $30 during the first month.
Additionally, Sling TV users can consider adding Paramount+ to their bundle since Sling does not carry CBS.
Sling TV’s Orange + Blue plan features 46 channels, including local NBC, Fox, and ABC affiliates (where available), and provides access to most local NFL games and national broadcasts.
