The Bears’ 2026 slate of opponents is set, and they’ll play eight games against teams that made the playoffs this season.
In addition to their regular home-and-home series with NFC North teams, they’re playing the entire NFC South and entire AFC East. As North champions, they also will play the division winners from the NFC East, AFC South and NFC West.
Most of the dates and times for matchups won’t be set until May, when the NFL releases the majority of its schedule, though there will be individual announcements leading up to that.
