Titans vs Bears live stream: How to watch NFL online and on TV from anywhere, odds and inactives
No.1 pick Caleb Williams is allowing Bears fans to dream
Today's Titans vs Bears live stream marks the much-anticipated NFL debut of Caleb Williams, the No.1 overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Chicago's new leading man lived up to the hype in preseason, but Soldier Field has a predilection for burying talent — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!
The Titans vs Bears live stream takes place today (Sunday, September 8).

Getting carried away is the last activity any Bears fan should indulge in, but in this case it's difficult to resist. Being named one of the franchise's eight captains for the season shows how much of an impression Williams has made already. Ally that with the quality of his wide receiver room, and it's little wonder there's such a buzz in the air.
No.9 pick Rome Odunze will be learning from none other than DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, both of whom are coming off +1,200-yard seasons. Having transformed the Bears' defence last term, imagine what Montez Sweat's impact could be after a full preseason.
It's the start of a new era for the Titans, who parted ways with Derrick Henry and Mike Vrabel in the offseason, replacing them with Tony Pollard and rookie head coach Brian Callahan. On the face of it, this is likely to be a rebuilding season, although the acquisitions of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed and receiver Calvin Ridley show that they mean business from the off.
Titans inactives: S Jamal Adams, LB Otis Reese, OL John Ojukuwu, TE David Martin-Robinson, TE Thomas Odukoya, LB Ali Gaye

How to watch Titans vs Bears from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 5,000 servers, across 60 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 7Plus and watch the Titans vs Bears live stream.
