Playing the Tennessee Titans last week, this year’s No. 1 draft pick Williams became the first quarterback drafted first overall to win his NFL debut in over 20 years. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner put up 14-of-29 passes for 93 passing yards, as well as five carries and 15 rushing yards. The Texans will be a tougher challenge for Williams and the rest of Matt Eberflus’ squad. Houston’s season opener saw them edge out the Indianapolis Colts 29-27.

If you’re looking to watch the Bears vs. Texans game live today, read on. Below is a quick guide on how to livestream the Bears vs. Texans game without cable, plus how to watch the Bears vs. Texans for free.

How to Watch Bears vs. Texans Online

The Bears vs. Texans game is airing live on NBC. Cord-cutters can watch the game using any live TV streaming service that carries NBC — such as DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or fubo — or with Peacock.

The real draw with most of these cable streaming services (over Peacock) is that you get a free trial. DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, and fubo all offer free trials, ranging from three to seven days, letting you watch the Bears vs. Texans for free. After the free trial, all of them start around $80 a month. Right now, however, all are offering discounts as well: DirecTV is offering up to $39 off your first three bills, fubo is offering $30 off your first month, and Hulu + Live TV is offering $30 back after your first month.

Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial (and doesn’t have the same variety of channels) but it’s much more affordable than the streamers above at just $7.99 a month, or $13.99 a month if you want to remove ads on on-demand content.

Bears vs. Texans Date, Start Time, Location

Vegas is expecting a home win for Houston tonight, giving the Texans the edge in a 6.5-point spread. The over/under is at 45.5. Williams may find his footing better in Week 2, but, even then, the Bears will be up against the Texan’s effective offense.
