Monday Night Football is a doubleheader tonight, and one of the matchups is the must-see NFC North matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. We’ve put together everything you need to know about where to watch Bears vs. Vikings live streams.

If this sounds like a familiar matchup, it’s because the Bears and Vikings played each other just last month. The two NFC North titans faced off in a close game that ultimately went into overtime and ended in a 30-27 win for the Vikings. The Vikings are in second place in the NFC North with an 11-2 record, just behind the Lions, and have already secured a spot in the playoffs. With a record of 4-9 so far this season, the Bears are officially out of the playoffs, but if last month’s game was any indication, it could still be close tonight.

If you don’t have access to ABC via an antenna or cable, you can live stream the game on ESPN Plus or a live TV streaming service like Sling TV or Fubo. At $12/month, ESPN Plus is the cheapest way to live stream tonight’s game. Subscriptions include tons of live sports, including select NFL games, college football games and UFC events. Subscribers who want to keep their subscriptions long-term can save some money by opting for an annual plan for $120/year.

ESPN+ (monthly plan)

ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live fights in MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf and UFC. You can pay $12 monthly or opt for an annual contract, saving you about $20 per year. There’s also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus that offers an even better discount.

Sling TV and Fubo are slightly more expensive than ESPN Plus, but both offer multiple live channels that you can stream 24/7. Sling TV plans start at $40/month, but typically get you half off your first month of service. For local networks like ABC, you’ll need to go with Sling Blue. However, you should check if it is available in your region as local channel coverage varies from region to region.

Access to over 40 channels for just $20 per month for the first month as part of a special offer on Sling Blue that gives you 50% off. The best thing about Sling is that you only pay for what you want and are not locked into a long-term contract

If ABC isn’t available on Sling in your region or you’re looking for an even more comprehensive live TV streaming service, it might be time to give Fubo a try. The sports-focused streamer offers over 185 channels in its lineup, including wide local network coverage. Subscriptions start at $80/month, but new users can get a one-week free trial and up to $35 off the first month of service.

Fubo Essential

Fubo’s main tier offers most of the same offerings as its Pro plan (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, etc.), but lacks regional sports networks that show NBA, NHL and MLB games. This will remove any applicable additional RSN fees from your monthly bill.

Where to watch Bears vs Vikings in the UK and other regions

DAZN’s NFL Game Pass is the answer to most international football viewing needs. Subscriptions unlock the entire regular season and postseason in the UK and many other regions. Although prices vary depending on which country you are in and what type of plan you subscribe to, most regions are currently offering a discount on a pass for the rest of the season.
