The Chicago Bears’ first international trip since 2019 is set.
The NFL announced Wednesday morning that the Bears will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 13 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Week 6 matchup.
It will be the first of back-to-back London games for the Jaguars, who will play the New England Patriots the following week at Wembley Stadium.
The game was announced ahead of the full schedule release for all NFL teams at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The Bears haven’t played an international game since a group led by Khalil Mack and Chase Daniel lost 24-21 to the then-Oakland Raiders on Oct. 6, 2019, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Bears also played a regular-season game in London in 2011 and a preseason game there in 1986.
The Bears will be the host for this year’s London game, meaning they’ll have only eight home dates at Soldier Field. Those opponents will be the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans.
On the road, the Bears will face their NFC North rivals along with the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts.
Tickets for the London game will go on sale in June. Single-game tickets and executive suites for games at Soldier Field will go on sale to the general public at 8 p.m. Wednesday. A presale will start at 7 p.m. for season ticket holders and fans on the season ticket priority list.
