Expectations will be high for the Chicago Bears entering 2026 after winning the NFC North a year ago.
Quarterback Caleb Williams enters his second season guiding Chicago's offense under the direction of head coach Ben Johnson alongside young skill position players like Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.
Chicago's defense underwent a major secondary overhaul, bringing in a brand-new safety pairing of Coby Bryant and rookie Dillon Thieneman alongside linebacker Devin Bush.
While the unit led the NFL with 33 takeaways in 2025, it ranked near the bottom in points and yards allowed. Preseason snaps will show how quickly these new defensive additions can build chemistry before Week 1.
Here's everything you need to know to watch every Bears preseason game in 2026.
