How to listen to 49ers vs. Bears NFL Week 14 game on the radio

The 49ers host the Bears in Week 14, and here's how fans can tune in via radio if they can't watch the game live.

In some ways, the San Francisco 49ers may actually benefit from a Week 14 home loss to the scuffling Chicago Bears.

The payoff would come this April in the 2025 NFL Draft, as the 5-7 Niners would have a better shot at a higher pick than a 4-8 Chicago squad that's reeling in the wake of firing head coach Matt Eberflus after Thanksgiving.

But April is a long way away, and the focus for head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. remains on keeping dwindling playoff hopes alive for just a little while longer.

Doing so involves ending a three-game losing streak, though, and an underachieving Chicago squad presents such an opportunity.

Fox will broadcast the Week 14 faceoff, which kicks off at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
