FAQ
Lions vs Bears questions
When do the Lions and Bears play next?
The Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears meet twice in the 2026 regular season: Week 12 in Detroit and Week 17 in Chicago. Kickoff times come from the NFL’s published schedule and are shown in Eastern time. A game the league flexes keeps its week while its day and time move, so it shows a date without a time until the slot is fixed.
Are the Lions and Bears in the same division?
Yes. The Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears both play in the NFC North. Six of every NFL club’s games are inside its own division — the other three opponents, home and away — so Lions vs Bears is one of the six pairings that division is made of.
What is at stake when the Lions play the Bears?
The NFC North, potentially. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker the NFL applies between two clubs that finish level in the same division, so if the Lions and the Bears end the season on the same record these two games settle it between them. Division record is the tiebreaker after that, and both of them are division games too.
Can the Lions and Bears meet in the playoffs?
Yes. The Lions and the Bears share a division and therefore a conference, so the bracket can pair them in the wild-card round, the divisional round or the NFC Championship Game — a third meeting on top of the two the regular season already guarantees.
How often do the Lions and Bears play each other?
Every season, twice — once at each club’s stadium. Division opponents are the fixed part of an NFL schedule, so for as long as the Lions and the Bears are both in the NFC North the pairing is on the calendar every year, whatever else the rotation brings.
Where can I follow the Lions and Bears for the rest of the season?
Each club has its own page on Kalshi. The Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears hubs carry the roster, the weekly injury report, the remaining schedule, the division standings and the market’s read on each club’s division, playoff and Super Bowl chances.
