The 4-2 Chicago Bears haven't lost a game since Week 2 this season, and they'll face the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens this Sunday in hopes of keeping that winning streak alive. While the Ravens have struggled in recent weeks, they're cautiously optimistic that quarterback Lamar Jackson will make his return to the gridiron this week after missing three weeks due to a hamstring injury. Although he is scheduled to return, he remained sidelined from practice earlier this week.
The Bears will visit the Ravens for an early game that will air nationally with a 1 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS and streams on Paramount+. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this Sunday's game, along with the full Week 8 schedule for the rest of the league.

How to watch NFL games in 2025:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna) or finding a live TV streaming service that carries the correct RSN (Regional Sports Network). If you want to watch out-of-market games, a $7 monthly subscription to NFL+ will let you watch every out-of-market-game local and primetime game in the season on your phone — but only a select few regular season games on your TV. You could also spring for the uber-expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package to get every out-of-market Sunday game of the season.
When it comes to nationally broadcast games, NFL games typically air across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday Night Football games stream exclusively on Prime Video, select football games will stream exclusively on Peacock, games on CBS will stream live on Paramount+, and Monday Night Football games will air on ESPN or ABC and stream on the newly revamped ESPN+ this season. That's six channels and four streaming platforms to keep up with this season — and that's not counting your local RSN's for in-market games and an NFL+ or NFL Sunday Ticket subscription for out-of-market games. Plus, Netflix is once again hosting at least two Christmas Day matches, so add that subscription into the mix. And we can't forget about Fox One, Fox's first streaming service, a place where you can also stream games airing on FOX (if you don't already have access to it).
Confused? You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of the platforms we recommend checking out ahead of the 2025 NFL season, so that come game time, tuning into your favorite team's games will be as easy as simply turning on the TV.
