The NFL disclosed the schedules for all of its 32 teams on a recent Wednesday evening, giving fans and squads the much-awaited opportunity to earmark their must-watch games. Amongst them are the Bears whose clutch of matches were partially revealed even before Wednesday evening. Kicking off the 2025 NFL season, the Bears are set for a home game on Monday Night Football against their fellow NFC North competitor, the Minnesota Vikings. Below is the official 2025 itinerary for the Bears, initiating with a hot-ticket NFC North clash.

Eagerly waiting on deck for Week 3, the Bears meet the Dallas Cowboys on home turf. The fourth week brings about an away clash with Las Vegas Raiders; a match that will surely ignite some anticipation.
In Week 5, players and fans get a breather with a BYE Week. Returning from this hiatus, Week 6 sees the Bears take on the Washington Commanders in a road game, once again on the Monday Night Football stage. Week 7 involves another home game, but this time against the New Orleans Saints.
Week 8 has the Bears traveling again, this time going head-to-head with the Baltimore Ravens. The journey doesn’t end here as Week 9 incorporates another away game, but with the Cincinnati Bengals. The subsequent week, Week 10, brings back the action to the Bear’s home ground with a game set against the New York Giants.
Moving forward to Week 11, the bears engage in an away rematch against the Minnesota Vikings. Week 12 then involves welcoming the Pittsburgh Steelers for a game on home soil.
Week 13 sends the Bears to the Philadelphia Eagles’ territory for a Black Friday special. Weeks 14 and 15 involves more action-packed games, the first being against the Green Bay Packers on their home ground followed by an engaging home match versus the Cleveland Browns.
Week 16 brings back the Green Bay Packers to Bears’ territory for a Saturday match, while Week 17 takes the Bears westwards to face the San Francisco 49ers under the Sunday Night Football lights. Finally, Week 18 sees the Bears close out their regular season back at home against the Detroit Lions.
In addition to the regular season, the Bears also made public their pre-season calendar, featuring two games on their home turf. Preseason Week 1 will be against Miami, Preseason Week 2 welcomes the Buffalo team, and Preseason Week 3 will see an away game in Kansas City.

They’re tied for the second most challenging schedule in the NFL, gauging from last year’s winning percentages. Sharing a win-loss ratio of .571 with the Detroit Lions, they’re behind the New York Giants who have the toughest schedule with a win ratio of .574 from the last season. On the flip side, the San Francisco 49ers enjoy the easiest schedule, based on previous year’s records, carrying an opponent win-rate of .415.
The NFL Preseason kicks off with the NFL Hall of Fame Game which sees the Detroit Lions squaring off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Canton, Ohio scheduled for Thursday, July 31. The regular NFL season springs into action with the Dallas Cowboys up against the reigning Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, September 4, 2025. The remaining teams, including the Bears, are expected to initiate their campaigns that same weekend. The Bears’ season opener is slated for September 5, 2025, when they’ll host the Minnesota Vikings in a Monday Night Football spectacle.
