The Chicago Bears have announced their 2025 training camp schedule, where they will welcome fans back to camp for 12 open practices (including Family Fest).
Rookies are set to report to Halas Hall on July 19 before veterans report on July 22 with the team’s first open practice scheduled for Friday, July 25. Open practices will run July 25 through Aug. 15.
This will mark the sixth time the Bears will hold training camp at Halas Hall after 18 years practicing at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. Training camp was closed to the public in 2020, but fans have been in attendance since summer 2021.

Joint practices with Dolphins, Bills
The Bears will host joint practices with the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills ahead of their respective preseason games in August. Chicago will hold just one joint practice with each team — Miami on Friday, Aug. 8 and Buffalo on Friday, Aug. 15 at Halas Hall. The Bears will host the Dolphins for a preseason game on Sunday, Aug. 10 and the Bills on Sunday, Aug. 17.
“The way I view those in the past have been, it’s a good opportunity to break up camp a little bit of a controlled setting – yet high intensity,” head coach Ben Johnson said earlier this summer. “I think the competitive nature of just about everybody – once you get in between those white lines against an opponent like that, it goes up another notch. That’ll be good.
“It’ll be at that point in training camp where we’ve had, call it twelve, thirteen, fourteen practices in, and just a little bit different will be good for us. For everybody, coaches and players alike. It’ll be fun to go against a different scheme. That thought process, the problems that arise that way, but also for our players being able to compete against a different opponent. The controlled setting of it is really important. I’m excited for both of those opportunities.”
