The Chicago Bears play the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, Nov. 2, at Lumen Field in Seattle, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. CDT. The game airs on ESPN, streams on Amazon Prime and NFL+, and can be heard on ESPN 1000.

Seattle enters as the reigning Super Bowl champion. The Seahawks play at Lumen Field, which the source describes as one of the most hostile environments in the National Football League.

Amazon Prime carries the broadcast with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit calling the game and Kayleee Hartung reporting from the sidelines. ESPN 1000 features Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer and Jason McKie. Bears games are also aired locally on FOX 32 Chicago for viewers in the Chicagoland area; a subscription is required for Amazon Prime Video.

The Bears' schedule after Seattle: Nov. 9 vs. Tampa Bay, a Week 10 bye, Nov. 22 vs. New Orleans, Nov. 26 at Detroit on Thanksgiving, Dec. 6 vs. Jacksonville, Dec. 13 at Miami, Dec. 19 at Buffalo, Dec. 25 vs. Green Bay on Christmas, Jan. 3 vs. Detroit, and a Week 18 game at Minnesota with the date to be determined.

The source noted the Bears' Thursday Night Football game against the Super Bowl runner-up as a test they passed, and framed the Seattle matchup as a larger test.
