The Chicago Bears have a quick turnaround between their Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and hosting the Washington Commanders in Week 6. And for fans, that means figuring out how to stream Thursday night’s game on Prime Video.
— the first time a streaming service has had the full rights to an NFL package. Amazon partnered with the league to stream 11 Thursday night games since 2017, but it took over the entire package from Fox this year.
For local viewers, it’s a little easier if you aren’t a Prime subscriber. The Bears-Commanders game will be shown on Fox-32 starting at 7:15 p.m. You also can listen to the game on WBBM-AM 780 and WCFS-FM 105.9.
But if you aren’t in the Chicago area and aren’t a Prime subscriber, to watch the game.
Al Michaels will have the play-by-play call at Soldier Field with Kirk Herbstreit on color analysis.
The Bears are 1-8 against Washington at Soldier Field since winning Super Bowl XX, and first-year Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz was 3-0 as a starter against the Bears with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bears will play in prime time again in Week 7 against the New England Patriots on Monday, Oct. 24, in Foxborough, Mass. After that, it’s noon starts the rest of the way (barring a flex).
