After a 5-12 season filled with disappointment, coaches being fired, and a lost locker room, the Bears come into the 2025 season with the second-most difficult schedule of all 32 teams. We're taking a look at all the upcoming opponents for this season and ranking them from most difficult to the easiest.

The Bears have the earliest bye in Week 5 before returning to Washington for a third straight season. Chicago infamously lost in Washington coming off its bye week in 2024 after Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown caught a tipped Hail Mary in the end zone as time expired. That was the beginning of 10 straight losses for the Bears.

The Chicago Bears seem to have shifted their attention for a new enclosed stadium back to the suburbs from the city’s lakefront, citing “significant progress” with local leaders to build on a tract of land they own in Arlington Heights.

The Chicago Bears have flirted with leaving Chicago and building a stadium in Arlington Heights for more than 50 years.

It's not a done deal, but the Chicago Bears have shifted their focus for a new stadium back to the massive Arlington Heights property they purchased in 2023, backing away from a controversial proposal for a new lakefront stadium in Chicago.
