Bears schedule: A look at Chicago’s 2023 opponents
The NFL will unveil its 2023 schedule on Thursday night, although we already know which teams the Chicago Bears will be facing this season.
The Bears will face the AFC West and NFC South, which includes home games against the Carolina Panthers, Las Vegas Raiders and Atlanta Falcons, as well as away games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and New Orleans Saints.
With Chicago finishing fourth in the NFC North, they’ll also face the same-place finisher in the NFC East and NFC West. With that additional 17th game, they’ll face the AFC North same-place finisher, Cleveland Browns, on the road. As always, they’ll face their NFC North rivals twice.
Here’s a quick look at which teams the Bears will play this season and where they finished in 2022.
