Most countries will have the opportunity to see the Green Bay Packers face off against the Chicago Bears in the season finale at Soldier Field on Sunday.
The Packers (12-3) and Bears (8-7) are scheduled to kick off at 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
Here’s the late-afternoon time slot broadcast map on FOX, via 506sports.com:
Areas shaded in red will see Packers and Bears.
While the other late-afternoon games are mostly regional shows, FOX clearly wanted to show the NFC North Showdown to as many viewers as possible in the country. The outcome of the match will help shape the overall playoff race in the NFC. The Packers can clinch the No.1 seed in the conference with a win, while the Bears can clinch a playoff berth with a win.
The NFL put the Cowboys and Giants in the first time slot on FOX, freeing up large audiences across the country for the late afternoon slot. And the Vikings play the Lions at noon, solving another big viewing conflict, especially in the upper Midwest.
The Packers have played four of their last seven games this season in the 3:25 p.m. time slot. They are 2-2 when they play late-afternoon games in 2020.
