Adam Schefter predicts Chicago Bears in season opener
The Chicago Bears are still waiting for the official announcement of their 2026 weekly matchups for the 17-game season. The NFL will unveil the full 18-week regular-season schedule for all 32 teams on Thursday. ESPN insider Adam Schefter may have provided a major clue when he predicted the opening matchups.
With no official news for Chicago yet, anticipation has grown over when and where the team will open its season. The opponent for the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in their opener also remains unclear. These uncertainties have fueled speculation across the league.
Adam Schefter predicts Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks in season opener
During a Monday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Schefter shared information about the season opener. He expects the Bears to face the Seahawks in the Wednesday night kickoff in September.
“I always think the opener, the Wednesday night opener this year in Seattle, is always a big deal,” Schefter told McAfee. “It feels like that game is going to be either the Chicago Bears or the New England Patriots. My guest today—and it’s a guess—would be the Bears in Seattle on that Wednesday night game before we get to the Rams-49ers game.”
The NFL scheduled the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants for a Sunday night Week 1 matchup. The league also set Week 1 matchups for Seattle’s other potential home opponents.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos will play on Monday night. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will meet in Australia on Friday night.
These developments leave Chicago as a leading ratings draw for Seattle’s opener. The league often selects big-name teams for its major opening broadcasts.
The potential Bears-Seahawks matchup is a ratings dream. Both teams are among the NFL’s most-watched sides during the 2025 season.
If Schefter’s prediction proves correct, Chicago will open its season Sept. 9 with a major early test. A victory over the reigning champions would show the Bears’ potential as a contender in 2026. The team enters the season as the defending NFC North champion.
