This is a huge game for the NFC North rivals, who have identical records and still have a shot at making the playoffs. The Vikings’ defeat by the Bucs last weekend saw them slip out of the NFC’s seventh and final playoff seed, but they’re only a game behind the Cardinals, who have a tougher schedule. The Bears head into Week 15 as the No. 9 seed in the conference, and like the Vikes they have an easier looking schedule than Arizona. It’s a big one, so follow our guide as we explain where to find a Bears vs Vikings live stream and watch all the NFL action online from anywhere today.
Bears vs Vikings live stream
This Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings game kicks off at 1pm ET/10am PT (6pm GMT) at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Full NFL live streaming and TV channel details are below – and you can watch your preferred coverage from anywhere by adding a good VPN to your software roster.
It’s a near-miracle that Chicago are still in the running at all, their blowout win over the Texans last weekend being their first victory since their Week 6 beating of the Panthers on October 18, which had put them at 5-1.
Minnesota, meanwhile, were 1-5 at the end of Week 6, but a subsequent purple patch, where they won five and lost won put them firmly in contention. Last weekend’s defeat in Tampa Bay was a major setback, the Vikings having dominated the early exchanges while failing to make their supremacy count, with Dan Bailey costing his team 10 points all on his own.
Things could barely have been more different for the Bears, who clicked on both the offense and defense. They sacked Deshaun Watson six times, while Mitchell Trubisky had probably his best game of the campaign, flying out of the blocks to throw for 267 yards and three touchdowns, while Allen Robinson and David Montgomery both ate up more than 100 yards of offense.
Both franchises’ playoff hopes are hanging tantalizingly in the balance, and you can read on as we explain how to watch the Bears vs Vikings online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are right now.
How to watch the Bears vs Vikings from outside your country
If you’ve mismatched a holiday or you’re away on business and you want to watch your country’s coverage from abroad, then you’ll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.

Should I buy an NFL Game Pass?
Watching NFL online has never been easier thanks to the wide variety of streaming services now available. However, the league also has its own streaming service called the NFL Game Pass which allows die-hard football fans to watch every game.
It’s really geared towards international fans and that’s where it’s a great option. In most of the NFL’s main international markets, a Game Pass Pro subscription will get you access to every single regular season and playoff game live, plus the Super Bowl, and you also get the league’s live highlights show, RedZone. It costs £14.99 a week or £143.99 a year, so if you’re a big fan who watches multiple games every week, it breaks down quite favourably.
As well as the UK and Ireland, the service is available in countries like Mexico, Germany and most of Europe, and Australia – with only ‘domestic markets’ the US and Canada missing out on the full-fat offering.
Instead, there’s a US and Canada-only Game Pass option available for $99 a a year that lets you watch commercial-free full game replays right after they’ve finished. Not the worst offer we’ve ever heard, but don’t get caught out – GamePass does not offer live NFL games in the US or Canada.
Should you decide to give Game Pass a shot, apps for Android and iOS mobile devices as well as on the likes of Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, PS4, and more – plus you can obviously watch on your laptop or desktop computer through a browser.
The only caveat for non-domestic markets (e.g. the UK) are that some games are subject to blackout restrictions due to deals with local pay TV providers (e.g. Sky).
