Where to Watch the Bears Playoff Game on Sunday in Chicago & the Suburbs

Jan 16, 2026 | 0 comments

Wondering where to watch the Bears playoff game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams? The Bears will have a home field advantage at Soldier Field with kickoff set for 5:30 PM CT.  Fans across Chicago are gearing up for the big night after last week’s exciting against long-time rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Stakes are high for the Bears – a loss would mean elimination from the season, but a win against the L.A. Rams would put them within 2 games from playing in the Super Bowl. The Bears have not won a Super Bowl game since 1986, and have only played in a Super Bowl Game once in 2007 since then.  A win this year would mark 40 years since a triumphant season.

For those staying home, the game will air via a national broadcast and will be available through major live-TV streaming services that carry local NFL coverage, including YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and network apps, depending on your provider.


If you’d rather watch alongside fellow fans, enjoy food and drink specials, and soak up the game-day energy, here are bars and restaurants across Chicago and the suburbs showing the game.
