Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season continues Sunday with a cross-conference matchup at Soldier Field, where the Chicago Bears play host to the New York Jets. FOX will televise the game nationally, and the opening kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 4.
The standings after three weeks give the contest a clear frame. Chicago, a member of the NFC North, enters at 2-1, while New York, from the AFC East, makes the trip at 1-2. A Jets victory would leave both clubs at 2-2.
Streaming is available through NFL+, which offers the matchup beginning at the same 1 p.m. ET start. The league's app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or through Google Play. Fubo is also listed as an option for watching NFL games this week.
The week's earliest kickoff happens well before the American slate begins, and it is the only Week 4 game staged outside the United States. The Washington Commanders face the Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network.
Seven other games share the 1 p.m. ET window with the meeting in Chicago. On CBS, with streams on Paramount+, the Jacksonville Jaguars are at the Cincinnati Bengals, the Tennessee Titans are at the Baltimore Ravens, the New England Patriots are at the Buffalo Bills and the Arizona Cardinals are at the New York Giants. FOX's portion of the window includes the Los Angeles Rams at the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys at the Houston Texans.
Four more games fill the late windows. The Miami Dolphins visit the Minnesota Vikings at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX. Three kickoffs follow at 4:25 p.m. ET: the Kansas City Chiefs at the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers at the Seattle Seahawks, both on CBS with Paramount+ streams, plus the Denver Broncos at the San Francisco 49ers on FOX.
Prime time Sunday features the Detroit Lions visiting the Carolina Panthers at 8:20 p.m. ET, with NBC broadcasting and Peacock streaming. That contest closes a Sunday schedule that runs from the morning game in London deep into the night.
Week 4 began on Thursday, Oct. 1, when the Cleveland Browns defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24. The slate concludes on Monday, Oct. 5, as the Atlanta Falcons travel to face the New Orleans Saints at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited.
