Free Bears Training Camp Tickets Are Available Now
This is the best time of year to be a Bears fan. Nobody's lost a game yet. To me, that's the approach to have with every football season, especially if you're a Bears fan.
Just a couple of years ago, you needed to fill your summer months with fake optimism with the upcoming Bears season, but this year, there's a real-life reason to be excited to watch the team play in 2026.

Why the 2026 Chicago Bears are Different
Mainly because they're good. The Bears got a good quarterback and a good coach. In the NFL, that's all you need sometimes. It helps that the supporting cast is quite talented in Chicago, too.
If you're as hyped as I am for the upcoming NFL season, you're probably thinking about checking out the Bears at training camp. Good news about camp, it's free, and registration has already opened. The bad news is that they're mobile only, and you need to reserve your tickets now on Ticketmaster.

Your Free Chance to See Chicago's Stars
Have you been to training camp? One of my best memories as a dad is taking my oldest to Bourbonnais. Now that training camp is in Lake Forest, it's slightly closer to home, and if you want to see Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and the rest of the Bears stars without paying, this is your best chance.
