Here’s the Bears full schedule for the 2021 NFL Season

The NFL announced the complete 2021 schedule on Wednesday, May 12, and the Chicago Bears are officially set to kick off their 2021 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at 8:20 PM on Sunday Night Football. Their first divisional game will be in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions at home.

The Bears finished 8-8 in the 2020 season as they qualified for the postseason but were bounced early in an ugly 21-9 loss in the Wild Card round against the New Orleans Saints. While the future of the franchise lacked a high amount of excitement, Chicago has a whole new outlook on the team by trading up to select Justin Fields to be their quarterback. The Bears still have plenty of work to do around him on the offensive side of the ball to make him successful, but the fan base should be excited as they hope they have finally found a difference maker at the quarterback position.

All times listed are Eastern.
