The schedule is finally here, and the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast is diving into everything the 2026 season has in store, presented by Obvious Shirts.

Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina run through the Bears’ full schedule, sharing their biggest takeaways from a slate packed with prime-time matchups, rivalry games, holiday football, and a handful of intriguing stretches throughout the season. The guys discuss which games stand out immediately, which matchups look more manageable on paper, and where the toughest parts of the schedule could emerge.

From Thanksgiving and Christmas football to division battles and potential playoff previews, the crew looks at how the season might unfold and what expectations should be for a Bears team entering the year with plenty of attention around the league.

You can listen to Episode 30 wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and we’ve also embedded the YouTube recording here for your convenience!
