Chicago Bears announce full schedule for 2025
The Chicago Bears' full 2025 schedule was released Wednesday night.
The Bears were rewarded with the NFL's second-toughest schedule after a dismal five-win season last year.
They'll will kick off the season on Monday Night Football against the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings.
The Bears also will get a chance for revenge for their devastating Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders in 2024 with Week 6 matchup in Washington on Monday Night Football. The Bears lost nine more games in a row after falling to the Commanders 18-15 on a Hail Mary play last season, en route to a 5-12 finish.
In Week 10, they'll host the New York Giants at noon at Soldier Field on Nov. 9, and during Week 16, they'll travel to Philadelphia for a Black Friday matchup against the Eagles on Nov. 29.
The Bears also will host the division rival Green Bay Packers in Week 16 on Dec. 20, although the time for that game has yet to be announced.
This season, the Bears will play games on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for the first time in team history.
