Founded in 1920 in Decatur as the Staleys, the Chicago Bears are one of only two NFL franchises that were charter members of the original 1920 league. The franchise won nine NFL championships, most recently Super Bowl XX after the 1985 season with one of the most dominant defenses in football history. Soldier Field, opened in 1924 and renovated in 2003, sits on the Lake Michigan shoreline. The NFC North rivalry with the Packers is the oldest in professional football, dating to 1921.
The cheapest Bears tickets typically appear on weeknight non-rivalry games — Mondays and Tuesdays against non-conference opponents move at the steepest discount. Upper-bowl and end-zone seats are 40–70% cheaper than centerline lower-bowl, with comparable views of the action. Set a price alert in the resale market — prices commonly drop 15–25% in the final 48 hours before puck/tipoff/first pitch as season-ticket holders release inventory.
Avoid the markup trap: compare the listed face value against secondary marketplace pricing on the day-of. Mid-bowl 200-level seats are the sweet spot for budget-conscious fans — strong sightlines, half the price of premium club seats.
The NFL regular season runs September through January. Each NFL club plays 17 regular-season games, split between home dates at Soldier Field and road dates across the league.

Playoff and postseason dates are added round-by-round as the bracket clarifies — check this page first when those dates drop, listings refresh every six hours.
The hottest Bears dates on the NFL calendar are division opponents and primetime national-TV matchups. Rivalry-game inventory at Soldier Field routinely clears 60–90 days before the first whistle, with the deepest secondary-market premiums on the lower bowl. If a rivalry date is on your wishlist, lock in tickets as soon as the schedule is released — waiting until game week often costs 2–3× the early-onsale price.
