Two division rivals clash as the Chicago Bears meet the Detroit Lions in Week 4 of the NFL season! While Chicago is still looking for their first victory of the season, the Lions began the season with a 39-35 win against the Indianapolis Colts. Can the Bears avoid an 0-4 record? Will Detroit capture their second victory of the season? We’ll find out after the Lions battle the Bears!

WHAT TIME DOES THE DETROIT LIONS VS. CHICAGO BEARS GAME START?

The Bears and Lions will kick off at 1:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE CHICAGO BEARS VS. DETROIT LIONS GAME?

The Lions/Bears game is being broadcast on FOX. If you have a cable subscription, and (this is important) you are receiving the broadcast in your area, you’re all set: you can live stream Bears vs Lions free via the Fox Sports Go app, available on iTunes, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Android, and more.

Cordcutters can watch via Sling TV, whose Blue package carries Fox (more on Sling below).

And there’s also PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to Fox, though channel lineups vary by region.

CAN I STREAM VIA DIRECTV SUNDAY TICKET?

You can, but only if you live at an address at which DirecTV does NOT offer service (and only out-of-market games). Check your eligibility here.

WHAT ABOUT NFL GAME PASS?

NFL Game Pass shows games that have already concluded. If you’re fine with on demand NON-live games, sign up for $99/year.

WHAT ABOUT TWITTER? I HEARD THEY WERE STREAMING THE NFL THIS YEAR.

Twitter is indeed streaming a number of games, but only Thursday night games, and not all of them.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Blue package, which includes major networks like Fox and NBC, normally costs $25 a month, but are currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
