The Bears’ preseason schedule ends with a straightforward piece of information that still matters to fans: when, where and how to watch. Bears Vs Titans is set for Saturday, Aug. 29, with kickoff at 5 p.m. CT in Nashville, and it closes the Chicago team’s 2026 preseason run on the road.
That final exhibition comes after a preseason slate that starts Saturday, Aug. 15, when the Bears meet the Cleveland Browns at noon CT at Soldier Field. One week later, they travel to Cincinnati for a 6 p.m. CT kickoff against the Bengals on Saturday, Aug. 22, before heading to Nashville for the Bears preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans.
