The Chicago Bears are entering a new era. Head Coach Ben Johnson joined the team in the offseason after leading the Detroit Lions to a stellar season as their offensive coordinator. His biggest task is probably developing quarterback Caleb Williams, who delivered a mixed performance in his rookie season. Can Johnson work his magic in Chicago like he did in Detroit? Can Williams excel in the NFL like he did in college? There’s only one way to find out. Here’s where to watch Chicago Bears games live in 2025.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – AUGUST 22: Colston Loveland #84 of the Chicago Bears runs during the second quarter of an NFL Preseason 2025 game between Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on August 22, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri.

To protect Williams, Chicago overhauled its offensive line in the offseason, adding Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson. The two former Pro Bowlers will be tasked with keeping Williams upright after he was sacked far too many times in 2024. Hopefully, this will result in Williams achieving the breakout season Chicago wants him to have. A pair of draft picks — tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III — could also help Williams by becoming reliable targets for the sophomore QB.
Chicago added Pro Bowl tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to bolster their squad on the other side of the ball. They also hired coaching veteran Dennis Allen as their new defensive coordinator. The offseason action signified that the Bears are serious about getting out of a rut that has resulted in four straight seasons with zero playoff appearances. It’ll be fun to see how all of these new faces come together. But if things pan out the way Johnson hopes, the Bears could be a legitimate force in the NFC North.Â
