(670 The Score) The NFL will release its full 2025 regular-season schedule Wednesday evening, but the Bears already know two games that are set on their slate.
The Bears will play at the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at 2 p.m. CT on Nov. 28 in a Black Friday special. They'll also host the rival Packers on Saturday, Dec. 20 at Soldier Field. Both games were announced Monday as part of the early schedule release by league broadcast partners. The kickoff time for the Bears-Packers game in Week 16 hasn't yet been revealed, but it will be either 3:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. CT.
FOX will also broadcast a game that day between the Eagles and the Commanders. Times will be set at a later date.
With the Bears playing that Saturday in Week 16, it's possible they could also be slated to play a Christmas Day game five days later. Last year, each of the four teams to play a designated Saturday game in Week 16 also took part in Christmas Day games.
Given that the Bears' game with the Eagles is already set, they could be in line to face the Commanders in Week 17 on Christmas Day.
The Bears' full schedule will be released Wednesday evening as part of the league's announcement.
