How to follow the CHICAGO BEARS from out of market
You didn't stop being a Bears fan when you left Chicago. The coverage just stopped following you. Here's how displaced Bears fans watch the games, hear the real radio call and keep every story, from anywhere.

How to watch Bears games out of market
The national windows come to you no matter where you live: Thursday night, Sunday night, Monday night and any Bears game flexed into a national slot air everywhere. The problem is the ordinary Sunday-afternoon game that only shows in the Chicago market.
NFL Sunday Ticket (on YouTube and YouTube TV) is the out-of-market answer: it carries every Sunday-afternoon game that isn't on in your local market, which for a displaced fan means most of the Bears schedule, including the NFC North dates against the Lions, Packers and Vikings. NFL RedZone rides along on Sundays if you'd rather live in every game at once.
Two more that displaced fans forget: in preseason, NFL+ streams out-of-market preseason games live, and if you're outside the US entirely, NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries every game. Rights packages shift season to season, so double-check the current lineup before you buy.
How to hear the radio call from another state
Every fan knows the national TV crew isn't the same as the hometown voices. NFL+ streams live game audio for every game, home call included, from anywhere in the US, and most flagship stations stream the broadcast through the team's official app on game day. Put the Bears call in one ear and the TV feed on mute, like half of Chicago does.
The Bears coverage that doesn't reach national TV
The national desks check in on the Bears a few times a season. The people below cover them every single day, and this is exactly the coverage that disappears when you move away:
The catch: that's 5 different sites and apps, none of which know each other, all built for people who still live in Chicago. That is the specific problem Vurvo exists to fix: every Bears story from every one of those sources, plus podcasts like Locked On Bears and the Bears YouTube shows, in one free feed, in navy and orange, updated the moment anything drops.
Alerts, scores and gameday from afar
Out of market usually means out of the loop: you find out about the trade three hours late because it broke on a Chicago station you can't hear. Vurvo pushes Bears news the second it breaks, tracks every game live play by play, and keeps the whole experience in navy and orange, no matter what time zone you're in.
