When to watch Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions
Sunday, Sept. 14 at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. ET).
Where to watch
The Bears-Lions game will air on Fox, with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma on the call.
The Bears and Lions are each still searching for their first win of the season and meet in Detroit today to see who can avoid an 0-2 start. It's a homecoming for new Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who spent the last three seasons as the Lions' offensive coordinator. His top task this season is to get the Bears' offense clicking behind former first overall pick Caleb Williams, who looked shaky last week in the team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Meanwhile, the Lions' offense looked sluggish with plays being called by John Morton, whom the team tabbed as offensive coordinator after Johnson's departure. Despite returning most of its starters from last year's offense, the Lions scored only 13 points and didn't find the endzone until the final minute of the game in last week's loss at Lambeau.
The Bears and Lions kick off at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Fox. Here's how you can watch or stream it live, even if the game isn't available on your local Fox channel.
The game will be shown on TV in the Chicago and Detroit areas (according to 506 Sports) and on live TV streaming services, but there may be cases where you're blocked because of an internet location glitch. But there's an option that doesn't require subscribing to something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Plus or searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a virtual private network.
Here's how you can watch the game from anywhere in the US with a VPN.
