Chicago Bears Set May 14 Reveal for Bears Schedule 2026
The Bears schedule 2026 arrives Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 p.m. CT, when Chicago unveils its full 2026 regular season slate. The release also opens single-game ticket sales and a limited number of executive suites for home games.
Bears Schedule Release
All 32 NFL clubs will unveil their schedules at the same time, and Chicago will roll out its version with original content and creative storytelling. Fans can follow the release on the Bears' official social channels and digital platforms, including the Chicago Bears Official App.
The schedule gives supporters their first complete look at a 2026 slate built around nine home games and eight road contests. That split leaves the Bears with more dates at Soldier Field than away from it, and it immediately frames how season-ticket holders, single-game buyers and suite clients can plan around home dates.
NFC North And Beyond
Chicago's home board includes the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints. Road trips send the Bears to Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, Buffalo, Miami, Atlanta, Carolina and Seattle.
The NFC North remains the center of the schedule, with the Lions, Packers and Vikings appearing both at home and on the road. Chicago also faces every team from the NFC South and AFC East, plus first-place opponents from the NFC East, AFC South and NFC West.
Tickets And Suites
Single-game tickets and a limited number of executive suites for Bears home games go on sale with the schedule release. The club says it prefers Visa for all ticket transactions, and fans are directed to ChicagoBears.com or the Chicago Bears Official App for schedule information and ticket details.
For fans trying to map out trips, the practical move is simple: check the release window at 6:30 p.m. CT, then move quickly if they want home-game inventory or one of the limited suites. The first full schedule is the point when the season stops being abstract and starts becoming something that can be purchased, planned and booked.
