The Bears learned in January that they would play a regular-season game in London this year. They now know the date, time and opponent.
The Bears will be designated as the home team and face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 8:30 a.m. (CT) Sunday, Oct. 13 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tickets for the game will go on sale in June. The exact date of the on-sale will be announced by the NFL soon.
The stadium opened in 2019 and serves as the home of Tottenham Hotspur, an English Premier League soccer team. The stadium's capacity of 62,062 is nearly the same as Soldier Field's 61,500. The first NFL game played at the state-of-the art facility was between the Bears and Raiders in 2019.
This year the Bears will make their fourth trip to London. They beat the Cowboys 17-6 in a 1986 preseason game, defeated the Buccaneers 24-18 in a 2011 regular-season contest and lost to the Raiders 24-21.

The rest of the Bears' schedule will be released Wednesday night at 7 p.m. (CT). This season, they will play home and away games against the Lions, Packers and Vikings; host the Rams, Seahawks, Titans, Panthers and Patriots; and visit the Cardinals, 49ers, Texans, Colts and Commanders.
Every NFC team plays nine home games and eight road contests in 2024 and all even-numbered years and eight home games and nine road contests in odd-numbered years.

The Bears will open the preseason against the Texans in the NFL's annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game Thursday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m. (CT) in Canton, Ohio.
The Bears were chosen to play in the contest because three of their former players—Devin Hester, Steve McMichael and Julius Peppers—are among the seven individuals who will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame Saturday, Aug. 3.
