The NFL announced the complete 2023 schedule on Thursday, and the Chicago Bears are officially set to kick off their 2023 season against the Green Bay Packers, their first divisional game of the year.
In 2022, the Bears had a season to forget. Chicago lost its final 10 games of the season, finishing with a 3-14 record, which was the worst in the NFL. After ranking 23rd in scoring offense and dead last in scoring defense, a full rebuild is on the horizon.
Chicago started that process by signing LB Tremaine Edmunds, G Nate Davis, DE DeMarcus Walker, and LB T.J. Edwards in free agency. The Bears also beefed up their roster by adding OT Darnell Wright and DT Gervon Dexter in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Below is the Bears complete 2023 regular season schedule. All times listed are Eastern.
