The Chicago Bears' 2026 schedule is out, and it's packed with exciting matchups! They'll be facing off against eight playoff-bound teams, including a mix of NFC North rivals and new challenges from the NFC South and AFC East. As the NFC North champions, they'll also take on the division winners from the NFC East, AFC South, and NFC West, ensuring a tough and varied season ahead.
The Bears are no strangers to international football, having hosted the Jaguars in London last season. With the NFC teams playing nine home games each next season, the Bears are prime candidates for a game in Spain or the United Kingdom, which are designated as their global markets.
The Bears' 2026 opponents include home games against the Packers, Lions, Vikings, Saints, Buccaneers, Patriots, Eagles, and Jaguars, as well as away games against the Packers, Lions, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Bills, Dolphins, and Seahawks.
The team's performance has been a topic of discussion, with some players, like Odunze, sitting out since November. The Bears' offense has also been a point of interest, with Swift proving to be a valuable asset. The team's future looks bright, and fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming season, hoping for a stronger showing and a clearer identity on the field.
