The Chicago Bears have announced their 2026 training camp schedule, where they will welcome fans back to camp for 10 open practices that kick off in late July.
Rookies are set to report to Halas Hall on July 25 before veterans report on July 28 with the team’s first open practice scheduled for Friday, July 31. Open practices will run July 25 through Aug. 15. Times for the open practices will be announced soon.
Training camp will kick off the unofficial start of the 2026 season, where head coach Ben Johnson will once again run what’s expected to be a tough camp.
“I’m expecting the worst,” defensive end Montez Sweat said back during minicamp. “Yeah. Just be prepared. Hopefully it will be a little bit easier this time since I’ve already been through it, but yeah — live days, hard hitting, long drives, playing preseason games. I’m ready for it.”
