The Chicago Bears kick off training camp this week at Halas Hall, which marks the unofficial start to the 2025 NFL season — and the first under new head coach Ben Johnson.
While players have already started to report, training camp officially begins on Wednesday, July 23, with a closed practice. But there are 11 practices open to the public (a free ticket is required for entry). The Bears will also have one joint practice with the Miami Dolphins and another with the Buffalo Bills — both open to the public with a free ticket — ahead of their respective preseason games on Aug. 10 and Aug. 17.
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.
Here’s a list of the dates, times and details for each of the Bears’ training camp practices, including joint practices and how to attend.

How fans can attend

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.”
