**Chicago Bears Face Jacksonville Jaguars in Highly Anticipated London Showdown**

The Chicago Bears, sitting at a 3-2 record, are gearing up to face the 1-4 Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in a game that's taking them 4,000 miles west of Soldier Field to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Although it’s the Jaguars who have more experience playing in the UK, the Bears fans are expected to make a strong showing, turning the stadium into an enclave of Navy and Orange.

Both the Bears and Jaguars hold international marketing rights in the United Kingdom, making this match a critical test for gauging which team has a stronger foothold in the UK market. Fans attending the game are encouraged to tag @WCGridiron on social media to share their experience.

Set for an 8:30 a.m. Central Time kickoff on Sunday, October 13, this clash promises to unfold under classic football weather conditions—cloudy with a high of 51 degrees. For those tuning in from home, the game will be exclusively broadcast on NFL Network, covered by play-by-play announcer Rich Eisen and analyst Kurt Warner, with sideline insights from Stacey Dales and Steve Wyche. Local broadcasts will be available in Jacksonville on WTLV and in Chicago on WFLD. Streaming options are also plentiful: NFL+ offers access across various devices, while live game audio will be distributed nationally by Westwood One and through SiriusXM and the NFL app.

On the radio front, Chicago fans can catch the game on ESPN 1000, featuring Jeff Joniak and Tom Thayer in the booth and Jason McKie offering sideline commentary. Spanish-language coverage will broadcast on LATINO MIX 93.5 FM, with play-by-play from Omar Ramos and analysis by Miguel Esparza.

For those looking for a more interactive experience, join Steven Schweickert and Sam Householder for a live watch-along on Steven’s Twitch channel, which will also be embedded in the WCG gameday open thread.

Adding to the excitement, Taylor Doll’s Bears-Jaguars preview show on 1010 XL / 92.5 FM WJXL, featuring Lauren Brooks, offers fans insightful pre-game analysis. Doll and Brooks are part of the nation’s first all-female sports talk radio show, further enriching the narrative of this exciting international matchup.
