As the NFL gears up to unveil the 2026 regular season schedule on Thursday night, Chicago Bears fans already have plenty to look forward to. While the full slate of games remains a mystery, we do know which teams the Bears will face—and their all-time records against these opponents offer some intriguing storylines.

The Bears will navigate a challenging schedule that includes the usual home-and-away battles against their NFC North rivals.

Let's break down the Bears' all-time records against each of their 2026 opponents, starting with a tough road test against the Atlanta Falcons. Whether it's renewing old rivalries or seeking redemption against familiar foes, Chicago's history provides a fascinating backdrop to next season's battles.

From the frozen tundra of Buffalo to the high-powered offenses of the NFC South, the Bears will need to be at their best. For fans, it's a chance to see how the team stacks up against a diverse array of opponents—and maybe stock up on some fresh Bears gear to show support along the way.
