PHOENIX — It’s unlikely the Bears will be selected to play in an international game this season, because while the NFL hasn’t announced all the matchups, it hasn’t approached them about it.
“Typically the league will feel you out on a particular destination [by now], and we haven’t heard anything,” owner George McCaskey said Wednesday at the end of the NFL annual meeting.
The Bears already are assured of playing all their home games at Soldier Field, but could have been selected as the road team against the Lions in Munich or the Falcons in Madrid. The league typically avoids playing divisional games overseas, although it is doing so with a Rams home game against the 49ers in Melbourne this season, and some teams request their home game against the Bears to be excluded because the fan base travels so heavily, which is good for the local economy.
The Bears last played a home game in London against the Jaguars in 2024 and went there as the road team against the Raiders in 2019.
There’s a dwindling possibility they could visit the Lions in Munich or the Falcons in Madrid, but they probably would’ve heard by now if that was on the table.

While the Bears are eager to move forward on a new stadium, there has been little progress.

Bears owner George McCaskey, president Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles went to New York to appeal to Roger Goodell and would still like the third-round picks applied in the upcoming draft and in 2027.
