The Bears‘ Week 16 home game against the Packers is set for Dec. 20, a Saturday, at 7:20 p.m.
The NFL set times for Bears-Packers and Eagles-Commanders on Tuesday after originally leaving them undecided. Fox has both games. Eagles-Commanders will kick off at 4 p.m.
It will be the Bears’ fourth standalone game this season after playing on Monday nights against the Vikings and Commanders and visiting the Eagles in the Black Friday game last week.
The Bears visit the Packers on Sunday for their first meeting of the season, then have a home game against the Browns before hosting the Packers on Dec. 20. It’s the latest point in a season the two rivals have had their first meeting since 1998.
The games could decide the NFC North. The Bears currently lead the division at 9-3, followed by the Packers at 8-3-1 and the Lions at 7-5. The Bears also play the Lions in the final game of the season, and the date and time of that game haven’t been set.
