"For the Bears, their first Monday Night Football matchup comes in Week 3 when it hosts the Philadelphia Eagles. When these two teams squared off in 2025, the Bears won a Black Friday affair on Philly's home turf. After entering that game hoping Chicago could hold its own against the Super Bowl champs, the win established the Bears as a team to be taken seriously down the stretch. That the rematch between the NFC North and NFC East winners comes early this season gives me goosebumps thinking about the kind of drama we'll see between these two teams."
"As a bonus, the game will be simulcast nationwide on ABC. The Monday Night Football matchup between the Bears and Eagles is Chicago's first primetime matchup of the season, but it certainly won't be its last. Heck, it isn't even the team's last MNF appearance. The Bears travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks to wrap up Week 8 on Monday Night Football."
"Free-agent addition Coby Bryant returns to where he spent the first four years of his career. This one has the potential to be a statement game for Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson and his offense."
"2026 Monday Night Football Schedule is Full of Marquee Matchups This is what the 2026 Monday Night Football schedule looks like: Sept. 14: Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (ESPN and ABC) Sept. 21: New York Giants at Los Angeles Rams (ESPN and ABC) Sept. 28: Philadelphia Eagles at CHICAGO BEARS (ESPN and ABC) Oct. 5: Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints (ESPN) Oct. 12: Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams (ESPN and ABC) Oct. 19: Washington Commanders at San"
The Bears have a demanding 2026 schedule with multiple primetime opportunities, including seven standalone games and two Monday Night Football matchups. In Week 3, Chicago hosts the Philadelphia Eagles on MNF, a rematch of a 2025 game in which the Bears won on Black Friday in Philadelphia. The early meeting between NFC North and NFC East winners is expected to create high drama. The Week 3 game will be simulcast nationwide on ABC. In Week 8, the Bears travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks on MNF, with free-agent Coby Bryant returning to the team where he spent his first four NFL seasons. The Seahawks matchup is viewed as a potential statement for Ben Johnson’s offense.
