Amid uncertainties during the coronavirus pandemic, the NFL has continued with business as usual, which includes unveiling the 2020 schedule. That means we know exactly when the Chicago Bears are slated to face their 2020 opponents.
Aside from facing their NFC North rivals twice this season, the Bears will square off against the the AFC South and NFC South this year, which features home games against the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, as well as away games against the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans.
Despite a disappointing 2019 season, the Bears still locked down four primetime games, including a pair of Monday Night Football showdowns against the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings and another primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers in late November.
For the first time in three years, the Bears will open against someone other than the Packers, as they’ll open the 2020 season on the road in Detroit. Chicago opens up the season against the Lions and New York Giants, who were among the worst teams last season. The Bears will play their NFC North rivals in five of their final seven games.
