The Bears 2026 schedule is out. See Caleb Williams at Soldier Field

The Chicago Bears have spent the offseason dealing with a lot of “what if’s.”Yet, even after their crushing 20-17 overtime loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, head coach Ben Johnson’s club isn’t letting heartbreak define them.“This will be, hopefully, a feeling in the locker room we won’t forget, and we will be able to use it as fuel,” Johnson, 39, said in a press conference after the game.Now, three months later, Caleb “Ice Man” Williams and co.will finally get to see who they’ll be using that “fuel” against now that the 2026 NFL schedule has officially been released.Just a few of the most notable biggies Chicago will take on at their home Soldier Field this year include NFC North divisional rivals, Kyler Murray’s Minnesota Vikings (Sept.

20), Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers (Dec.25) and Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions (Jan.

3, 2027) along with huge matchups against Jalen Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles (Sept.28) and Drake Maye’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Oct.

22).According to Yahoo! Sports, Da Bears come into ’26 at a bit of a disadvantage, having to deal with the strongest strength of schedule of any team in the league due to their success in 2025.To make sure they’re ready and raring to go, General Manager Ryan Poles addressed major pain points and signed Super Bowl-winning safety Coby Bryant, speedy linebacker Devin Bush, prolific tackle Neville Gallimore, and wideout Kalif Raymond, who played for Detroit when Ben Johnson was its offensive coordinator.This talented group joins the nucleus of Williams, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland to form a formidable roster that hopefully won’t have to deal with any “what if’s” after next year’s campaign.All that’s missing now is…you.If you want to be in the stands at Soldier Field and see the Bears run it back live, tickets are available for all nine 2026 home games at Soldier Field as of today on SeatGeek.Not familiar with SeatGeek...
