Windy City Gridiron
Earlier today, the NFL announced the full 2026 preseason schedule, and here are the three Chicago Bears games.
Saturday, August 15, vs the Cleveland Browns at 12:00 p.m. CT
Saturday, August 22, at the Cincinnati Bengals at 6:00 p.m. CT
Saturday, August 29, at the Tennessee Titans at 5:00 p.m. CT
That Cincinnati game was sort of leaked yesterday when Bengals head coach Zac Taylor announced they’d host the Bears for a joint practice on August 20.
All games will be aired locally on FOX32, with the NFL Network carrying them all either live or via a replay.
New this season will be the league’s mandated cut-down deadline to get rosters to 53 active players, which is Sunday, August 30, by 5:00 p.m. CT. In the last few years, that cut-down date was the Tuesday following the preseason finales, so this likely means that clubs will be permitted to establish their practice squad on Monday, August 31.
