who will bears play next

The Chicago Bears’ exact next opponent is not fully locked in yet; it depends on how the rest of the NFC playoff games play out this weekend.

Quick Scoop

• The Bears have advanced to the NFC Divisional Round after their wild-card win and will play at home next weekend (Jan. 17–18, 2026).

• Their likely opponents are narrowed to top NFC teams in the current playoff bracket, with scenarios focusing on the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams depending on other game results.

• The actual matchup will be decided after the remaining NFC wild-card/divisional seeding games finish, so the league will confirm the opponent and exact kickoff time later this weekend.
