How to watch the Bears’ Week 8 game against Commanders: TV, live stream and radio

The Bears were scheduled to play the Washington Commanders in Week 8 at noon CT. The usual Sunday date and time came back in the spring when this matchup didn’t look like much. Then the Nos. 1 and 2 overall picks added some spice, but there was no guarantee that Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and Washington signal-caller Jayden Daniels would propel their teams to a prominent spot worthy of national attention.

It turns out that’s exactly what they did. Both teams are well over .500, with just two losses each. That prompted the league and its networks to make this NFC contest a major issue. It was switched to the late afternoon time slot, allowing most of the league’s markets to watch the Bears and Commanders games. Aside from the league’s primetime slots, it is the largest for teams not based in the west of the country.

So please ignore the schedules you have from back then. Here’s how to watch the Week 8 contest between the Bears and Commanders.
