The Chicago Bears will announce the dates and times of their 2023 games at 7 p.m. Thursday as part of the NFL’s schedule release.
Bears single-game tickets and executive suites for home games at Soldier Field will go on sale after the announcement. A presale for season ticket holders and fans on the season ticket priority list will begin at 7 p.m., followed by sales to the public at 8:30 at chicagobears.com/tickets.
The Bears know their home and road opponents in 2023.
Along with playing home and away NFC North games against the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, the Bears will host the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals.
The Bears will go on the road to play the Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders and Cleveland Browns.
The NFL will air its schedule release show at 7 p.m. on NFL Network. The league announced its five international games — which will not include the Bears this season — as well as its first Black Friday game between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins on Nov. 24 on Prime Video.
The schedule leaks started Thursday morning with the post-Aaron Rodgers Packers. The Athletic reported the Packers and new quarterback Jordan Love will visit Soldier Field to play the Bears in the season opener Sept. 10. That same schedule shows the Bears visiting the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 18, with the date and time to be determined.
NBC Sports Washington reported the Bears will play at the Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 5. That’s one of two reported Thursday Night Football games for the Bears, the other against the Panthers and rookie quarterback Bryce Young at Soldier Field in Week 10, The Athletic reported.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported the Vikings will visit Soldier Field in Week 6. The Bears will visit the Browns in Week 15, according to ESPN 1000 host Carmen DeFalco.
NFL team social media crews typically put a lot of work into their schedule announcements, making for an entertaining evening on Twitter. The Bears teased their release Wednesday night with a tweet featuring WWE star Seth Rollins.
