How can I watch every Bears game in 2026?

Roughly 88% of the Bears' regular-season games air free over-the-air on CBS, FOX, or NBC — antenna-eligible. The exceptions: Sunday Night Football (NBC, locked behind Peacock for streaming), Thursday Night Football (Amazon Prime Video, exclusive), Monday Night Football (ESPN), Christmas Day games (Netflix), and any game outside your local market that isn't a national broadcast.

What's the cheapest way to watch the Bears from Chicago?

An antenna covers your local CBS/FOX/NBC games for free. Add Peacock ($10.99/mo) only the months the Bears actually play Sunday Night Football, and Amazon Prime if they have a Thursday Night game. Cancel each as soon as the relevant game airs. HuddleMaxx tells you exactly which months — most Bears fans need Peacock for 1–2 months a season, not seven.

What if I live outside Chicago?

Sunday afternoon CBS/FOX games get blacked out for out-of-market viewing — that's where NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube ($240 new YTTV subscriber for the 2026 season + a YouTube TV sub for full coverage) comes in. The cheaper alternative: NFL+ ($6.99/mo, mobile/tablet only) replays every game next-day. National broadcasts (SNF, TNF, MNF) play the same in or out of market.

Can I watch the Bears with just an antenna?

Most of the regular season — yes. Ten to twelve games a year (locally televised CBS/FOX) come through free. You'll miss Sunday Night Football (Peacock), Thursday Night Football (Amazon), and Monday Night Football (ESPN) — those are streaming-exclusive. An antenna also catches the playoffs and Super Bowl since they air on broadcast TV.

Only if you watch on phone or tablet. NFL+ ($6.99/mo) gives you live local games + primetime games on mobile devices, but cannot cast to a TV. Pointless if you watch primarily on a television. Useful for commutes, gym, in-stadium, or as a $40 alternative to Sunday Ticket if you'll accept mobile-only.

What about Bears playoff games?

Wildcard and divisional rounds split across CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN. Conference championships: AFC on CBS, NFC on FOX. Super Bowl rotates among CBS/FOX/NBC each year. An antenna covers every playoff game and the Super Bowl — the only catch is if a wildcard game lands on Peacock or ESPN+ (rare).

How does HuddleMaxx specifically save me money on Bears coverage?

Same way every fan saves: your $14.99 unlocks a personalized season plan mapped to the Bears' 2026 schedule — exactly which streaming services to subscribe to, which months to start, and exactly when to cancel. We send the cancel reminders the day before each renewal so you don't pay for a service after the team's last game on it.Most NFL fans save $200–$700 a season.
