I might sound like a complete amateur when asking this, but I signed up for the NFL network.  Will I get the Bears games on this channel or do I need the NFL SUNDAY TICKET?

Where do you live?  Are you in a region where Bears games are broadcast by local stations?

@jmclachlan The NFL network has only 5 regular season live games plus a triple header on week 15.  Non of the announced 5 games involve the Bears.  

The following link shows the 2023 schedule.    https://www.nfl.com/network/games

HDMI Guy, I truly appreciate the candor in your reply!  So I should get the NFL Sunday ticket instead?

I live in northern Illinois.  I cut the cable when I moved two years ago.  I suppose I could get a digital aerial antenna but I have the roku firestick.  Only problem there is nobody to talk with live about this, and everyone makes it seem like this channel or that one has the games. Hence, I signed up for NFL network.  HDMI Guy said that the Bears games are not on their announced 5 game lineup.

Thanks Arjiemar!  I appreciate that link!

@jmclachlan Here is a link to the Chicago Bears 2023 TV schedule.  What Roku device do you have?  Is it a Roku TV or a Roku device attached to a TV.  I don't have any idea what local channels you can get with an antenna but as you can see by the schedule most games are on Fox or CBS which are over the air channels.  There is Sunday night game on NBC, a Monday night game on ESPN, and two Thursday night games on Amazon Prime.
