A few of those victories came in prime time, so it’s no wonder the NFL will have to consider featuring the Bears in special time slots next season.
Chicago could start of the 2026 regular season with a matchup that would have happened in January had the Bears not lost to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime of the Divisional Round.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bears are a potential opponent for the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night of Week 1, which would open the league’s season.
The Seahawks will open the season with a game at home after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in the Super Bowl in Sunday night.
The Super-Bowl champion Seahawks will open the 2026 season at home on a Thursday night. Here are their potential opponents:
Patriots
Rams
49ers
Cardinals
Chiefs

Bears head coach Ben Johnson was proud of the progress the team made in his first season. However, he understands that Chicago isn’t promised anything in 2026 by winning the NFC North in 2025.
“There is no building off of this,” Johnson said, via the Bears. “We go back to square one. We’re back at the bottom again. That’s really all 32 teams. If you feel otherwise, you’re probably missing the big picture. We’re back at it. We’ve got to start from scratch. You can look at 2025 and say, ‘Hey, it’s a great start.’
“Well, the truth is it was really hard to accomplish what we accomplished, and it wasn’t good enough and it’s going to be that much harder to put ourselves in that position again next season. There’s a lot of work coming up. I know our players, when they come back, they’ll be ready to go.”
The Bears should have an improved roster in Johnson’s second season with the team. The offense is young and should return most of its starters.
Chicago can add help to the defense.
A win over Seattle in Week 1 could give the team confidence in Johnson’s second season, one that the Bears hope ends with a win in the Super Bowl.
