The Bears have their three nationally televised games, but after that, every one of their games will start at 1pm ET, 12pm CT. The Bears don’t have any 4pm ET/3pm CT starts this year. The networks did not move them back as the featured game any of the weeks and they also don’t have any west coast road games on the schedule this year.

That should make most Bears fans happy. Most fans like their games at Noon. It’s part of their Sunday routine. Although, with no 3pm starts and only one primetime game at home, if you want to head to Soldier Field to tailgate in 2017, you are going to have to get up bright and early.
