Can I Watch The Bears Game On Sling Tv
Okay, let's talk about the Chicago Bears. And more importantly, how to watch them without losing your sanity (or your entire paycheck).
Specifically, we're diving into the question that plagues every cord-cutter in the Windy City: Can I watch the Bears game on Sling TV?
Sling TV and the Monsters of the Midway
So, you’ve ditched cable. Welcome to the club! Now you're navigating the wild west of streaming services, trying to figure out if you can actually catch Justin Fields throw another... something. (Let's be optimistic, shall we?).
Must Read
Sling TV is a popular option, but its channel lineup can be trickier than a Matt Eberflus defensive scheme. (Okay, maybe not that tricky).
The Local Channel Conundrum
Here's the deal: whether you can watch the Bears on Sling TV often hinges on whether you get your local channels. And that, my friend, depends on where you live.
Many Bears games air on FOX or CBS, and sometimes, even NBC. If Sling TV offers your local FOX or CBS affiliate, you're golden! But if not… well, keep reading.
Check your local listings on the Sling TV website. Enter your zip code. It's like a mini-lottery, but the prize is watching the Bears and not winning millions.
The ESPN Angle
Of course, some Bears games are on ESPN. Sling TV does offer ESPN in its Orange and Orange + Blue packages. That's a win! High five!
Just remember to double-check the schedule. Don't want to miss a crucial game thinking it's on a local channel when it's actually on ESPN and you’re stuck watching competitive… lawn mowing.
The "Antenna is Your Friend" Argument
Here's where my slightly unpopular opinion comes in. Ready for it? Get an antenna! Seriously.
I know, I know. It sounds like something your grandpa would suggest. But hear me out. An antenna is cheap, reliable (usually), and gives you access to your local channels, including FOX and CBS.
Plus, the picture quality is often better than streaming! Boom. Mind blown. Think of it as a backup plan for when Sling TV fails you.
Also, it's great for when the internet goes down during a critical 4th quarter. Don't act like it hasn't happened to you.
Other Options (Because We All Need Them)
Let’s be real: sometimes, Sling TV + antenna just isn't enough. Maybe you’re traveling, or maybe your local affiliate is blacked out.
In that case, consider other streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV. They generally offer more comprehensive local channel coverage.
Or, you know, find a friend with cable. Just promise to bring the beer and not spill salsa on their couch.
The Bottom Line
Watching the Chicago Bears on Sling TV is possible, but it's not always guaranteed. Check your local channel availability.
Consider an antenna as a reliable backup. And have a Plan B (and maybe a Plan C) ready to go.
Because let's face it, being a Bears fan requires dedication, resourcefulness, and a healthy dose of hope. And maybe a strong drink. Bear Down!
