The Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars will face off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This highly anticipated match features two No. 1 NFL draft picks: Caleb Williams for the Bears and Trevor Lawrence for the Jaguars. The Bears are aiming to improve their record to 4-2 before their bye week. A key question for fans in the United States is what time the game will be played due to the time difference.
Kickoff in London is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Central Time (CT). This early start time allows fans across the US to enjoy the game on a Sunday morning. Given the time difference between London and Chicago, it’s crucial for fans to plan accordingly to catch the game live.
The game will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the impressive home of the English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur football club. This modern venue offers a fantastic atmosphere for NFL games and has hosted American football matches in the past.
The Chicago Bears will be the designated home team for this game, giving the Jacksonville Jaguars the opportunity to call the coin toss at the start of the match. While the game is played in London, the home team designation carries certain procedural advantages.
The game will be broadcast nationally on the NFL Network and locally on Fox. For those who prefer streaming, the game will also be available on NFL.com and the NFL mobile app. This ensures fans have multiple options for watching the game, whether at home or on the go.
Historically, the Bears hold a mixed record in games played abroad. Their first London game was a victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011. However, their previous game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium resulted in a close loss to the Raiders in 2019. This upcoming game marks their third appearance in London.
