Chicago Bears

Every Chicago Bears match this season, home and away — each one links to hotels near the ground it’s played at, so away weekends are as easy to book as home ones.

Home ground: Soldier Field, Chicago

Good to know: NFL game dates and kick-off times can move — flexible scheduling shifts games between Thursday, Sunday and Monday slots, especially from midseason. If your trip is built around the game, choose a free-cancellation rate so your booking can move with it.

History

The Bears trace to the Decatur Staleys of 1919, one of the NFL's founding franchises, renamed Chicago Bears in 1922 by owner George Halas to align with the baseball Cubs who shared their stadium — bears being bigger than cubs. Halas coached the team for four decades, and the franchise carries more official NFL championships than any other, nine in total, though only one, in the 1985 season, came in the Super Bowl era. That team's dominant defense and the 'Super Bowl Shuffle' made it a cultural phenomenon. Soldier Field's lakefront setting and the Bears' status as one of only two founding franchises never to relocate underline the club's deep roots in the city.

Records & quirks

  • Chicago routed Washington 73-0 in the 1940 NFL Championship, still the most lopsided title game ever.
  • The Bears share the NFL record for touchdowns in a game, nine, set against San Francisco in 1965.
  • Robbie Gould is the franchise's all-time leading scorer with 1,207 points.
