Calling All Windy City Diehards: Can You Catch the Bears on Hulu?
Living that Chicago Bears life? You bleed navy and orange, dream of Ditka mustaches, and can quote the Super Bowl Shuffle in your sleep (well, maybe not all of it). But with the season upon us, a crucial question arises: can you snag those Bears games on Hulu?
Hold Your Horses (or Should We Say Halas Horses): It Depends...
Don't toss your cheeseheads in despair just yet! Here's the scoop on Bears games and Hulu:
-
Hulu with a Side of Live TV: This is your winning touchdown. Hulu + Live TV carries a whole stadium's worth of channels, including the big boys like ESPN, ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. These are the primary broadcasters for NFL games, so depending on the schedule, you've got a good shot at catching Cutler (or whomever's slinging the pigskin these days) light up the field. Plus, you get NFL Network, which sprinkles in some extra Bears goodness.
-
On-Demand? More Like On-Demand for reruns of Seinfeld: This is where things get a bit more like a fumbled punt. The basic Hulu subscription, the one without the Live TV bells and whistles, focuses on shows and movies, not live sports. So, unless you're cool with reliving the glory days of the '85 season, you'll be out of luck here.
So, Ditch the Rabbit Ears and Stream Like a Champ
If you crave that live game experience, Hulu + Live TV might be your best bet. It's like having your own personal sports bar, minus the questionable nachos and sticky floors (although, that's kind of a Bears game tradition too).
Just a Friendly Reminder (Because We Care): Check your local listings to see exactly which channel carries each Bears game. Wouldn't want you to miss a single touchdown (or interception) because you were tuned into the wrong channel!
Now get out there and cheer on your Bears! And remember, even if the score isn't pretty, at least you can enjoy the comfort of your couch (and maybe mute the announcers if things get rough).
