The Bears will have nine home games and eight away games in 2026. With nine home games, it’s possible the NFL could target one of them for an international game. The Bears last played overseas in 2024 in London.

In addition to facing their NFC North rivals both home and away, the Bears will play all four NFC South and AFC East teams.

As winners of the NFC North, the Bears also will play the first-place teams from the NFC East (Eagles), NFC West (Seahawks) and AFC South (Jaguars).
