The Chicago Bears revealed their 2026 schedule on Thursday night, with some help from third-year wide receiver Rome Odunze, who tapped into his inner Bob Ross to unveil the regular-season slate.
In addition to facing their NFC foes twice, the Bears will play the NFC South and AFC East next season, which includes home games against the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as away games against the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers. With the Bears finishing first in the NFC North, they’ll also face the same-place finishers in the NFC East (Philadelphia Eagles), NFC West (Seattle Seahawks) and AFC South (Jacksonville Jaguars).
There was plenty of reaction to the Bears’ 2026 schedule, which includes a gauntlet of seven standalone games, including Thanksgiving and Christmas against a pair of divisional foes.
