Chicago Bears 2025 opponents officially set

The Chicago Bears have wrapped their 2024 season, which ended on a high note with a 24-22 win over the rival Green Bay Packers. That snapped the Bears' 10-game losing streak and 11-game losing skid against the Packers.

There are some big questions facing Chicago this offseason, including most notably who will serve as the team's next head coach, a search that will jumpstart this crucial offseason. The Bears have some big roster holes to fill, most notably in the trenches, and they've locked down another top-10 selection.

Despite the questions, one thing that is certain -- who Chicago will be playing in the 2025 season.

In addition to facing their NFC foes twice, the Bears will play the NFC East and AFC North next season, which includes home games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, as well as away games against the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.

With the Bears finishing fourth in the NFC North, they'll also face the same-place finisher in the NFC South and NFC West. With that additional 17th game, they'll face the AFC West same-place finisher on the road.

Here’s a quick look at which teams the Bears will play — both home and away — next season.

Initial analysis

At first glance, the Bears have a difficult slate in 2025. They're set to play in arguably the best division in the NFL -- facing the Lions, Vikings and Packers twice -- while also facing seven playoff teams from this current season. Chicago will face the AFC North, which features some powerhouse quarterbacks in Baltimore's Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, who are both MVP candidates. Speaking of MVPs, the Bears will face an NFC East division with Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley and they'll get a rematch against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. The good news? They'll face a handful of teams currently in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL draft order, including the Raiders, Giants, Browns and Saints.
