Dates, Game Times, Channels, How to Watch, Live Stream, Locations, Venues

Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach of the Chicago Bears exceeded expectations and restored hope to a long-suffering fan base.After an 0-2 start, the Bears caught fire and finished 11-6, capturing the NFC North title for the first time since 2018. Chicago earned its first playoff victory since 2010, rallying from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.

The magical run ended in an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but the season provided clear evidence that the Bears are trending upward and are no longer far from legitimate Super Bowl contention.Now the question is whether 2026 will be the year Chicago returns to the NFL’s biggest stage for the first time since Super Bowl XLI.

Much will depend on how the team navigates what is expected to be a challenging schedule, ranked as the NFL’s sixth-toughest according to Sharp Football Analysis.
