Chicago Bears season-ticket holders will face a significant price rise in 2026, with ticket costs expected to increase by an average of 13.5%. This adjustment was announced in a letter from Bears CEO Kevin Warren, indicating that fans will pay more to support the team in the upcoming season.
The planned hike reflects the Bears’ recent success, including a playoff appearance in 2025 and securing their division title for the first time since 2018, heightening excitement among fans and stakeholders alike.
Celebrating a Season of Comeback Victories
The Bears’ 2025 campaign was marked by resilience, featuring seven comeback wins and memorable victories over key rivals such as the Green Bay Packers, both in the regular season and the playoffs. Ultimately, Chicago’s postseason run ended after a tough loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round.
Coach Johnson and Ryan Poles have established a winning culture rooted in attention to detail and perseverance, bringing playoff football back to our Chicago Bears,
Warren said.
Challenging Schedule Ahead at Soldier Field
Next season promises thrilling matchups, with home games scheduled against divisional opponents like the Packers, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings. In addition, the Bears will host formidable teams such as the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and Jacksonville Jaguars, offering fans a showcase of top-level competition.
The New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Jets will also visit Chicago, adding to the diversity of opponents at Soldier Field.
Potential International Game and Stadium Developments
There is speculation that the Bears may play a home game overseas in 2026, as an NFL game is planned for Madrid, a location where Chicago holds international marketing rights. This possibility reflects the team’s expanding global presence.
Meanwhile, communities in northwest Indiana, including Portage, continue to pursue opportunities to bring a Bears stadium to the area, demonstrating regional interest in connecting further with the franchise.
