The NFL will release the 2026 schedules for all 32 teams at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday. Here is what we know about the Chicago Bears’ schedule so far.
The Bears face the toughest schedule in the NFL, with a 2025 opponent winning percentage of .550. Coming off a division championship season in which they pulled off seven comeback victories after trailing in the final two minutes, the Bears are sure to get their share of showcase games. One has been officially announced: a trip to Detroit to face the Lions on Thanksgiving.
