The Chicago Bears, who had a 5-12 campaign last year, are starting the 2025 NFL season under new head coach Ben Johnson. Johnson was impressive as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator for the last three years, and he will be looking to turn things around in Chicago.
Everyone will watch how Caleb Williams, the team's second-year quarterback, and the new head coach can help the Bears advance in 2025.
The Bears' 2025 NFL season schedule is revealed below.

Last season, when Caleb Williams faced Jayden Daniels, the latter helped the Washington Commanders record a last-second win with a Hail Mary. This season's Week 6 meeting between the Bears and the Commanders in Washington will provide Williams and the Bears an opportunity to get revenge for that heartbreaking loss. The game is scheduled for Monday Night Football.
The Bears will play the Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl champions, on Nov. 28 in a Black Friday game. The matchup will be available for fans to stream on Amazon Prime.
The Bears also have a potential season-defining game against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 20 at Soldier Field.
The schedule will be updated as new information comes to light.

Chicago Bears 2025 season outlook
The Chicago Bears had a 5-12 season that featured a head coach change and a 10-game losing run last year. However, with the hiring of Ben Johnson, who has said that he plans to win in his first season in charge, there is hope that the team will improve on its poor record this year.
The Bears can try to contend for a postseason spot in 2025 with a roster full of talented players like Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland, Jaylon Johnson, Montez Sweat and many more.
