We’ll track all the Chicago Bears schedule leaks here!
The NFL makes a huge deal out of Schedule Release Day each year, and the 2025 slate will be dropped on Wednesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. CT on NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app, and NFL+. However, the releases will officially start today, as the league lets their broadcast partners announce some of their games.
- Today, we’ll get announcements of games from FOX, Amazon’s Prime Video, and NBC’s TODAY Show.
- Tomorrow (May 13), ESPN via Good Morning America will share some, and the NFL’s International Games will be announced on Good Morning Football on the NFL Network. (The Bears don’t play any road games against a team scheduled to play internationally.)
- On Wednesday, May 14, Netflix and CBS Mornings will announce some more games.
If the Chicago Bears get any of these early announcements, we’ll share them in the tracker below. We’ll also share some of the key games from around the league in a tracker below the Bears’ tracker.
Also, at some point, local and national reporters will have some inside sources feeding them games, and if any rumored Bears games are leaked, those will also go in the tracker.
Our partners at FanDuel have been holding steady with Chicago’s win total at 8.5. They currently have Chicago with the longest odds to win the NFL North at +500, and if you think they’ll make the playoffs, you can get that at +164. If you have them winning the NFC, you can get that at +1900, but if you’re feeling really lucky, you can get the Bears to win the Super Bowl at +3500. There are several player props as well, so hit up our partners at FanDuel if you plan to dabble in a few wagers for the 2025 season.
The Bears will likely have another fun schedule release video ready to drop right around the time of the league’s official announcement on Wednesday night, but thanks to social media leaks, we should have the entire 18-week slate figured out before then.
While you’re waiting for all the game day specifics, here are Chicago’s 2025 opponents.
HOME: Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the New Orleans Saints
AWAY: Packers, Lions, Vikings, Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Las Vegas Raiders, and the San Francisco 49ers
Remember that unless the NFL announces the game, these are all to be considered rumors until the league makes it official. Also, some of these are my educated guesses based on the schedule leaks from the other teams the Bears are playing.

Key NFL Games for the 2025 Season
The Denver Broncos vs the Kansas City Chiefs will close out a Christmas Day tripleheader on Amazon Prime.
- With the Eagles at the Commanders also on Saturday, December 20, and with the Bears and Eagles on Black Friday (rumored), that means Bears in Washington on Christmas Day is likely.
- The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys to open the 2025 NFL season on Thursday, September 4.
