The Chicago Bears’ full schedule will be released Thursday, but we know at least one game that’ll be on the docket this season.
A source confirms to NBC Chicago the Bears will travel to the Motor City to take on the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, marking the second time that head coach Ben Johnson will face his former team.
This time, it will come under the bright national lights, as the Lions will play their traditional Thanksgiving holiday game against the Monsters of the Midway.
Last year’s contest in Detroit didn’t go so well for the Bears, as Chicago got throttled 52-21 in a Week 2 loss at Ford Field. The Lions swept the season series with a 19-16 win over the Bears at Soldier Field in January, but Chicago had the last laugh as they won the NFC North crown and made it to the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
The NFL also announced that the Los Angeles Rams will host the Green Bay Packers on the day before Thanksgiving, marking the first time the league has played a game before the holiday.
On Thanksgiving itself, the Bears and Lions will be followed up by the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium.
The Thanksgiving night game has not yet been determined, nor has the Black Friday game that will take place at 2 p.m. Central time on November 27.
According to the NFL, the Bears have played in 38 games on Thanksgiving holiday, posting a record of 20-16-2 in those games. Their most recent game was a 23-20 loss to the Lions in 2024, with former head coach Matt Eberflus getting fired the day after the game because of his mismanagement of the clock in the closing stages of the contest.
The Bears are tied with the Packers for the third-most Thanksgiving Day games played, trailing only the Lions and Cowboys.
The rest of the NFL schedule will be released on Thursday evening, with the Bears set to host nine home games and play in eight road games.
