The 2026 schedule for the Bears has been released. Buy tickets to watch Caleb Williams.

May 15, 2026

The Chicago Bears have had quite an offseason filled with uncertainties.

Despite this, head coach Ben Johnson’s team isn’t letting a narrow 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round weigh them down.

“I hope that feeling in the locker room stays with me,” the 39-year-old Johnson mentioned during his post-game remarks, expressing optimism.

Now, three months later, Caleb “Iceman” Williams and his team are ready to channel that “fuel” as the 2026 NFL schedule has been unveiled.

This upcoming season, Chicago has some notable matchups lined up at Soldier Field against strong NFC North rivals. They include the Minnesota Vikings led by Kyler Murray on September 20, the Green Bay Packers with Jordan Love on December 25, and the Detroit Lions with Jared Goff on January 3, 2027. They will also face the Philadelphia Eagles, featuring Jalen Hurts, on September 28, and the AFC Champion New England Patriots, led by Drake Maye, on October 22.

As reported, the Bears will enter 2026 with the league’s toughest schedule due to their success last year, putting them at a bit of a disadvantage.

In preparation, general manager Ryan Pauls made some key signings, bringing in Super Bowl-winning safety Kobe Bryant, speedy linebacker Devin Bush, versatile tackle Neville Gallimore, and wide receiver Kalife Raymond, who played under Johnson in Detroit.

This talented new group adds depth to a promising roster featuring Williams, Roman Odunze, and Colston Loveland, minimizing lingering doubts going into next year’s campaign.
