Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Chicago Bears' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do the Chicago Bears play next?
The Chicago Bears' next game is away at the Green Bay Packers on Oct 11. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
When is the Chicago Bears' bye week in 2026?
Week 10, between Nov 8 and Nov 22. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.

17 regular-season games: 9 at home at Soldier Field and 8 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC North opponents. The playoffs are not included.
What time do the Chicago Bears' games start in my timezone?
Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
