"Even though they won't be traveling out west to face the defending Super Bowl champs to start the season, the Bears will still hit the road to open the season as they face the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers won the NFC South with an 8-9 record thanks to some tie-breakers, then gave the Los Angeles Rams a tough battle in the first round of the postseason."
"WEEK 3 - HOME VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL) I fully expect the 2026 Bears schedule to feature a bunch of primetime games. The first of these games might be the Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Chicago beat Philly on Black Friday last year in a statement game that declared the Bears as being a legitimate contender. An early-season win against the Eagles could deliver a similar statement."
"WEEK 7 - HOME VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL) This will be the se"
The 2026 Chicago Bears schedule is expected to be released officially later, but several matchups are already known. Week 1 features an away game against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers won the NFC South with an 8-9 record, then pushed the Los Angeles Rams in the postseason. Week 3 is projected to be a home Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, with an early-season win framed as a potential statement. Week 7 is listed as a home Thursday Night Football game against the New England Patriots. Other weeks remain to be announced as additional information becomes available.
