The Bears and Eagles are set for a Monday night showdown in Week 3, with Soldier Field hosting a meeting that puts two of the league’s most promising young offenses on the same stage.
Philadelphia arrives with a championship resume already in hand. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have won a Super Bowl, and the next step is another run at a title.
Chicago, meanwhile, is in a different phase of the climb. Last year, the Bears won the NFC North and made the playoffs, and Caleb Williams and company have started to look like a group that’s built to stick around.
For fans looking to be there in person, the current get-in price is $330. Middle-level endline seats are listed at $485, while lower-level seats start at $580.
Kickoff is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 28 at 8:15 p.m. ET from Soldier Field in Chicago.
Chicago’s 2026 schedule opens with a road trip to the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 13, followed by a home game against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 20.
The Bears then get the Eagles in Week 3 before hosting the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 4.
Later on the schedule are trips to the Packers, Falcons, Seahawks, Dolphins and Bills, plus home games against the Patriots, Buccaneers, Saints, Jaguars, Packers and Lions. Chicago’s bye comes in Week 10.
Philadelphia starts its season at home against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 13, then heads to the Titans in Week 2 before visiting Chicago in Week 3. The Eagles’ 2026 slate also includes a trip to Jaguars in London, home games against the Rams, Panthers, Cowboys, Giants, Steelers, Colts, Seahawks and Texans, and road matchups with the Commanders, Cowboys, Cardinals and 49ers. Philadelphia’s bye is also in Week 10.

For anyone who remembers the events outsized presence on the city calendar, it offers a fresh look at why Wing Bowl became more than a sideshow and how it left a lasting imprint on the Philadelphia sports scene.

Eagles Fans Will Notice A Few Surprising Names Missing After Cutdowns
The Eagles move to the 53-man roster came with the usual late-August churn, but this round carried a few particularly notable departures. Philadelphia cut 36 players overall and placed two on injured reserve/designated to return, then watched four players get claimed off waivers, more than any other team in the league. Among the losses were Gushiken and Cameron Latu, with Latu landing with the Patriots.
Even after the cutdown dust settled, the Eagles still had a familiar-looking practice squad to sort through. They kept 13 players on the 17-man unit, including five who were back from last year, while also bringing in a few new faces as some of the camp cuts found practice-squad spots elsewhere. It left the roster picture mostly clear for now, even if a few names fans expected to see around a little longer are already gone. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Draft Class Is About To Face Its First Real Test
As the Eagles move deeper into the 2025 season, the first-year class is no longer being judged on promise alone. A group that was brought in to add speed, depth and future starters is now bumping up against real NFL expectations, with Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba among the rookies who are expected to have bigger jobs on defense as the year goes on.
Philadelphia has also spent the summer sorting out which members of the class can help immediately on special teams and which ones are still more developmental pieces. That makes this stretch important for the front office as much as the coaching staff, because the answers on this class could shape not just the current rotation but the way the Eagles build out the roster in the seasons ahead.
