Packers vs. Bears: How to watch Wild Card Game outside of local broadcast areas

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs and are set to renew the NFL’s most-played rivalry for just the third time in the postseason this Saturday night. The 7th-seeded Packers will head a few hours south to face the NFC North champion Chicago Bears in a game that comes approximately 15 years after the teams’ last playoff meeting, when the Packers won the NFC Championship and advanced to Super Bowl XLV.

This game will be the second game of Wild Card weekend, slotted into the Saturday night time slot. Fans around the country may need to get creative to watch this game, however, as Amazon Prime has the rights to the national broadcast to the game. Fans in the teams’ local markets will have the game available on a local TV channel, but anyone without a Prime membership in the rest of the country will need to look to an alternate approach.

Thankfully, Amazon is offering a free live stream of the game on another platform that will not require a Prime membership. That broadcast will be on Twitch, a streaming network owned by Amazon, with the game being shown on the Prime Video channel on the Twitch app or its website, Twitch.tv.

Links for the various broadcasts are below in our Game Primer, so give it a review to make sure you have your preferred viewing or listening method all set up before kickoff!
