The Bears also will face the Washington Commanders on “Monday Night Football” in Week 6 and the San Francisco 49ers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 17 — both on the road — in addition to a Black Friday road game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 28 and a Saturday showcase game against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 20 at Soldier Field.

The Chicago Bears unveiled their 2025 schedule on Wednesday night. But before the regular season gets underway, Chicago will play three preseason games. The Bears will host two preseason contests at Soldier Field -- including a rematch against the Buffalo Bills from last preseason -- and be on the road to wrap the preseason.

Welcome back to Chicago, Matt Eberflus. The Bears welcome their old head coach back to Soldier Field here, in what might be a low-scoring affair that pits Johnson against fellow first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. This game will be proof if Johnson's offense can find ways to circumvent a defense with plenty of playmakers.
