The Caleb Williams era in Chicago will begin Sept. 8 at Soldier Field when the Bears open the 2024 regular season against the Tennessee Titans.
In Week 2 of his rookie year, Williams will be featured in prime time against the Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud, the 2023 offensive rookie of the year. That game at NRG Stadium in Houston will be played on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” The Bears will follow with a trip to face coach Matt Eberflus’ former team, the Indianapolis Colts.
The Texans meeting is one of three prime-time games for the revamped Bears in 2024, along with a “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Vikings in Minnesota on Dec. 16 and a “Thursday Night Football” game against the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 26 at Soldier Field.
Along with the prime-time games, the Bears will play two other featured games — Oct. 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Nov. 28 against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving at Ford Field.
The NFL announced Wednesday morning that the London game is slated for Week 6, which will be followed by a Week 7 bye for the Bears. It will be the first of back-to-back London games for the Jaguars, who will play the New England Patriots the following week at Wembley Stadium.
The Bears haven’t played an international game since a group led by Khalil Mack and Chase Daniel lost 24-21 to the then-Oakland Raiders on Oct. 6, 2019, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Bears also played a regular-season game in London in 2011 and a preseason game there in 1986.
The Bears will be the host for this year’s London game, meaning they’ll have only eight home dates at Soldier Field. That will include three straight home games in Weeks 10-12 against the Patriots, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The Bears will host the defending NFC North champion Lions in Week 16. The Bears and Lions will meet on Thanksgiving in Detroit for the first time since 2021. That game was part of a stretch of three Thanksgiving meetings with the Lions in four years.
The Bears’ six NFC North games fall within the last eight weeks of the season.
Other notable road games include back-to-back trips to play the Washington Commanders and Arizona Cardinals in Weeks 8-9, a Dec. 8 visit to play the San Francisco 49ers and the season finale against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Chicago Bears will be featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer, the NFL announced Thursday.
The Bears were one of three teams that could’ve been forced into being featured on the hit HBO show this summer, along with the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints.
The qualifications were missing the playoffs for the past two seasons, not having a first-year head coach and not having hosted “Hard Knocks” in the past decade.
“We are honored to feature such an iconic NFL franchise on ‘Hard Knocks,'” said Shannon Furman, NFL Films senior director and supervising producer. “The Chicago Bears have a talented roster, coaching staff and front office all determined to match the expectations of a hungry fanbase. We are thankful to the entire organization for opening their doors to us for what is sure to be an exciting training camp this summer.”
Bears chairman George McCaskey has been vocal about not wanting to be featured on “Hard Knocks” over the past couple of years. But, ultimately, the NFL couldn’t pass up the opportunity to highlight the charter franchise entering arguably it’s most anticipated season in decades.
They’re ushering in a new era with No. 1 pick Caleb Williams, they have a young, ascending defense, they’re looking to make that next step to contend for the playoffs and they’re one of 10 teams never featured on the show before.
“Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears will provide our passionate fans across the world the ability to experience this unique and critical time in the history of our franchise,” said president Kevin Warren.
The five-episode series premieres Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. CT on HBO and will stream on Max. |
