The full calendar of the regular season of 272 NFL games will not be officially unveiled before 7 p.m. Wednesday. But the League has already started to pass the word on some of its larger scene games – and other news from the calendar are starting to flee.
The Chicago Bears will open the season on “Monday Night Football” of ESPN against the Vikings of Minnesota Rival de la NFC North on September 8 at the Field Soldier, according to the NFL initiate, Jordan Schultz.
Week 2 will bring another division match for the Bears, who will go to Detroit to face the former team of the first year coach Ben Johnson, the Lions, at noon on September 14 on Fox-32. The Bears will also close the season at home against the Lions on January 4 or 5.
The week before this second Lions meeting, the Bears will visit the 49ers of San Francisco on December 28 for a match “Sunday Night Football” on NBC.
The Bears will play consecutive road matches against AFC North teams in the 8-9 weeks, visiting the Baltimore Ravens on October 26 and the Bengals of Cincinnati on November 2. It will be followed by a week 10 against the New York Giants on November 9 and a trip to Minnesota during the week 11.
Bye week will arrive for the Bears of the week 5 – generally the oldest open date since the NFL added a 17th regular season match. This means 13 weeks of consecutive match to close the season.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that the Eagles of Philadelphia host the launch festivities of the NFL Financial Field, against the Cowboys of Dallas during the showcase of the week 1 of Thursday 1. This means that the trip of the Bears to Philly will wait later in the season – a holiday weekend.
Amazon announced Monday later that the Bears will be presented the Black Friday in the week 13. They will go to Philadelphia to play the Eagles of the Super Bowl at 2 p.m. the day after Thanksgiving, with the game broadcast on Prime Video.
The Bears were also part of the Monday announcement by Fox one week 16 on Saturday December 20. The Bears will welcome Green Bay Packers, and the Eagles will visit Washington Commanders. The hours of play must be determined.
Amazon also announced on Monday that Kansas City Chiefs would welcome the Broncos de Denver on Christmas Eve – a Thursday – on Prime Video. Two other Christmas games will be broadcast on Netflix.
The NFL revealed the clashes for six of its seven international records on Tuesday, with the six to broadcast on NFL Network. The seventh game abroad will have Los Angeles to open the season in Brazil for an opponent to be appointed Wednesday, with the game in streaming for free exclusively on Youtube and YouTube TV.
