The countdown to Super Bowl LXI is officially underway.
Mark your calendars for Feb. 14, 2027, which has officially been announced as the date for Super Bowl LXI. The league announced a bunch of important dates for the upcoming NFL season. Here are the ones you need to know as a Chicago Bears fan:
NFL Announces Official Date For Super Bowl LXI, 2027 NFL Draft, and More
These dates stand out to me as the most important:
August 30 — Cutdown Day: This figures to be a wild weekend. The preseason ends on Aug. 29 with the Bears playing in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans. One day later, the Bears (and the NFL’s other 31 teams) have to cut their preseason rosters down to 53. I don’t love this change. Not only does it jumble up the football calendar, but it also makes it more challenging for teams to pull off preseason trades. We’ve seen GM Ryan Poles make some intriguing deals to tinker with the roster. Not all of them worked out, but I could see the vision. Nov. 10 — NFL Trade Deadline: The 2026 NFL Trade Deadline will come after Week 9 ends and before Week 10 begins. This is noteworthy for the Bears, who play on Sunday Night Football in Week 9 and have a Week 10 bye. So if the Bears are to make a move, they will have a bye week that will allow for a new player some extra time to get acclimated. Feb. 14, 2027 — Super Bowl LXI: I can’t wait to watch Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson hoist the Lombardi Trophy after defeating [Insert AFC Champion Here] in the Super Bowl. March 1, 2027 — NFL Scouting Combine: One of the marquee events of the league’s offseason, the Combine helps put some of college football’s best players on our radar as possible Bears fits.

During the period between the Combine and free agency, it was announced that Bears center Drew Dalman was retiring. I do not want to imagine the scramble drill that would take place if something like that happened on this timeline. March 21, 2027 — NFL Owners Meetings Begin — The meeting of league owners tends to provide updates regarding rule changes. However, we spent time following this year’s league meetings in search of potential Bears stadium updates. I hope we have more clarity on that front well before we get to March 2027.
