‘Tis the season for planning.

The NFL is releasing its full schedule today. But leaks have begun springing.

It began this morning with the Packers’ schedule, which showed the Bears facing their favorite foes from Wisconsin in Weeks 1 and 18. The potential narratives that can be written about Bears-Packers games serving as bookends for the 2023 season seem limitless at this time. But well before we get to that point, we’ll still need to fill 16 more weeks.

We’re tracking the schedule here and will update it throughout the day.

  • WEEK 1: vs. Packers
  • WEEK 2:
  • WEEK 3:
  • WEEK 4:
  • WEEK 5: AT Commanders on Thursday Night Football, via JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington
  • WEEK 6: vs. Vikings, via Ben Goessling of Minnesota Star-Tribune
  • WEEK 7:
  • WEEK 8:
  • WEEK 9:
  • WEEK 10: vs. Panthers on Thursday Night Football (again!?), via The Athletic’s Joseph Person
