The Chicago Bears are gearing up for their preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field.
Following Friday’s joint practice, which featured an intense, padded session between the starters, the first-team offense and defense isn’t expected to play for either team on Sunday. But there’s still plenty of action to watch as position battles kick into another gear and players make their case for a roster spot.
On the radio, the Bears vs. Dolphins game will be broadcast locally on ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish).
The Bears-Dolphins game will air live on NFL Network, but it will also air on multiple channels, including 12 channels airing the Chicago broadcast and five networks airing the Dolphins broadcast on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a full list of TV channels, courtesy of 506sports.com
