The Chicago Bears have officially released their 2023 schedule, which features some high-profile match-ups.
In addition to facing their NFC North opponents twice, 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.
For the second consecutive season, the Bears will open the season at home when they host the Green Bay Packers in a matchup that will feature Justin Fields and Jordan Love, who replaces the departed Aaron Rodgers. Chicago will also close out the 2023 season against Green Bay at Lambeau Field.
Despite having the league’s worst record in 2022, the Bears have snagged four prime-time games.
