This will be the first Bears game in London since 2019, when they took on the Las Vegas Raiders.

"The Chicago Bears are a special team and a storied franchise.

"I am grateful to the NFL and the Halas-McCaskey family for the opportunity to fortify the excellence, championship mindset and traditions of the Chicago Bears on an international platform while growing the game of American Football in the United Kingdom."
