The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago. They play in the National Football League (NFL) as part of the National Football Conference (NFC) North division. The Bears are one of only two teams still around from when the NFL started in 1920. The other team is the Arizona Cardinals, which also began in Chicago.
The Bears played their home games at Wrigley Field until 1970. Since then, they have played at Soldier Field, which is next to Lake Michigan.
The team started in Decatur, Illinois, in 1919 and became professional in 1920. They moved to Chicago in 1921. The Bears have won nine NFL Championships. Eight of these wins were before the AFL–NFL merger, and one was a Super Bowl. They hold NFL records for the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers.
The Bears have the second-most NFL championships and overall wins, just behind the Green Bay Packers. These two teams have a long-standing rivalry. The Bears had a very successful period in the 1980s under coach Mike Ditka. They won Super Bowl XX in the 1985 season. The Bears played in their second Super Bowl in the 2006 season, but they lost to the Indianapolis Colts. Since 2006, the Bears have not had as much success. They last won a playoff game in 2011 and their last division title was in 2018.
The team's main office, Halas Hall, is in Lake Forest, Illinois. The Bears practice there during the season. They started holding their training camp at Halas Hall in 2020 after big updates to the facility.

Team History
Early Years (1919–1939)
The team was first called the Decatur Staleys. It was started by the A. E. Staley food company in Decatur, Illinois, as a company sports team. This was common for early professional football teams. In 1919, the team won the Central Illinois Championship.
In 1920, the company hired George Halas and Edward "Dutch" Sternaman to manage the team. The 1920 Decatur Staleys season was their first regular season in the new American Professional Football Association. This league later became the National Football League (NFL) in 1922.
Halas and Sternaman took full control of the team in 1921. Halas is known as the founder because he took over the team when it became a founding member of the NFL. The team moved to Chicago in 1921 and was renamed the Chicago Staleys.
In 1922, Halas changed the team name to the Bears. They moved into Wrigley Field, which was also home to the Chicago Cubs baseball team. The Bears got their name from the city's baseball team, just like other early NFL teams. Halas liked the orange and blue colors of his college, the University of Illinois. The Bears adopted these colors, but in darker shades.
The Staleys/Bears were very strong in the early years. Their rivalry with the Chicago Cardinals was the oldest in the NFL. The Bears won the NFL Championship in 1921 and stayed competitive. Their only losing season was in 1929.
In the 1920s, the team signed famous college player Red Grange right after his last college game. This led the NFL to create a rule that players could not be signed until their college class had graduated. Grange helped the Bears attract many more fans to their games.
After losing money in the 1932 Championship season, Halas' partner Dutch Sternaman left. Halas then had full control of the Bears until he passed away in 1983. He also coached the team for 40 seasons, which is an NFL record. In the 1932 "Unofficial" NFL Championship, the Bears beat the Portsmouth Spartans. This was the first NFL playoff game and the first indoor American football game, played at Chicago Stadium due to a blizzard.
This successful playoff game led the NFL to start a championship game. In the first NFL Championship, the Bears beat the New York Giants 23–21.
The "Monsters of the Midway" (1940s)
From 1940 to 1947, quarterback Sid Luckman led the Bears to win four out of five NFL Championship Games. The team earned the nickname "Monsters of the Midway" and got their famous helmet logo, the "wishbone-C". They also got a new theme song, "Bear Down, Chicago Bears".
A famous win from this time was their 73–0 victory over the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL Championship Game. This score is still an NFL record for the biggest win. The secret to this huge win was a new offensive formation called the "T-formation" created by Halas. Luckman became one of the team's best quarterbacks, setting many passing records that lasted for decades.
Later Halas Era (1950s–1968)
The team's performance declined in the 1950s but improved in 1963. They won their eighth NFL Championship, which was their last until 1985. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, players like Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, and Brian Piccolo became famous. Piccolo passed away from a serious illness in 1970. A movie about Piccolo, Brian's Song, was made in 1971. Despite their Hall of Fame careers, Butkus and Sayers had their careers shortened by injuries.
Halas stopped coaching in 1967 but continued to work in the front office. He was involved with the NFL for its first 60 years. He was also part of the first group of players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. After the NFL and American Football League merged in 1970, Halas was chosen as the first President of the National Football Conference. The NFC Championship trophy is named the George Halas Memorial Trophy in his honor.
Challenges and Walter Payton (1969–1982)
After the merger, the Bears struggled, finishing last in their division in 1969 and 1970. In 1975, the Bears drafted Walter Payton from Jackson State University. He won the NFL Most Valuable Player award in the 1977–78 season. Payton broke Jim Brown's NFL career rushing record in 1984. He held this record until 2002, when Emmitt Smith passed him. Payton was loved by Bears fans, who called him "Sweetness." He passed away in 1999 at age 45.
On November 1, 1983, after George Halas passed away, his daughter, Virginia McCaskey, became the main owner of the team. Her husband, Ed McCaskey, became the chairman. Their son Michael became the team's third president. Virginia McCaskey was known as "The First Lady of Sports" for her important role in the team.
Super Bowl Champions (1983–1985)
Mike Ditka, a former Bears player, was hired as head coach in 1982. His tough personality earned him the nickname "Iron Mike." In 1984, the team reached the NFC Championship game but lost to the San Francisco 49ers.
In the 1985 season, the Bears had an amazing year. They won their ninth NFL Championship, which was their first since the NFL merger. They dominated the NFL with their special 46 defense and even recorded a rap song called "The Super Bowl Shuffle". The Bears only lost one game that season, to the Miami Dolphins. This loss meant the 1972 Dolphins remained the only team with a perfect season.
After the Super Bowl (1986–2003)
After their 1985 championship, the Bears remained strong in the late 1980s but did not reach the Super Bowl again under Ditka. He led them to five more playoff appearances. After Ditka, the Bears had two head coaches, Dave Wannstedt and Dick Jauron. Both led the team to the playoffs once, but neither had a winning record or brought the Bears back to the Super Bowl. The 1990s were generally a disappointing time for the team.
In 2001, quarterback Jim Miller helped the Bears achieve a strong 13–3 record and win their division. However, they lost in the playoffs to the Philadelphia Eagles. The team struggled in 2002 with a 4–12 record. They improved to 7–9 in 2003 but still missed the playoffs. Jauron was fired after the 2003 season.
Lovie Smith Era (2004–2012)
Lovie Smith became the head coach on January 15, 2004. He brought a successful defensive strategy called the Tampa 2 to Chicago. In 2005, the Bears won their division and made the playoffs. They continued their success in 2006, winning their division again and reaching Super Bowl XLI. However, they lost the championship game 29–17 to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Bears made a big trade in 2009, getting Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos. After a tough 2009 season, the team hired Mike Martz as offensive coordinator. In 2010, the Bears signed several key players like Julius Peppers. They finished the 2010 season strong, earning a first-round bye in the 2010–11 NFL playoffs. They beat the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round. The Bears then played the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game, losing 21–14.
In 2011, the team started well but lost quarterback Jay Cutler and running back Matt Forté to injuries. They missed the playoffs with a 10–6 record. General manager Jerry Angelo was fired, and Phil Emery took over. Coach Smith was fired on December 31, 2012.
Recent Years (2013–Present)
Marc Trestman became the new head coach in 2013. The Bears finished the 2013 season with an 8–8 record, just missing the playoffs. While their offense was strong, their defense struggled. The 2014 season was difficult, with the team finishing 5–11. Trestman and Emery were fired after this season.
John Fox became head coach in 2015. The team improved slightly, finishing 6–10 in his first season. However, in 2016, the Bears had a tough 3–13 record due to many player injuries. In the 2017 NFL draft, the team picked quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. The Bears finished 5–11 in 2017, and Fox was fired.
Matt Nagy became head coach in 2018. The Bears added new players like Allen Robinson and Khalil Mack. Nagy's Bears won the NFC North division in 2018 with a 12–4 record. They lost in the playoffs to the Philadelphia Eagles after a missed field goal. Despite the playoff loss, Nagy was named Coach of the Year.
In 2019, the team finished 8–8. In 2020, the Bears started 5–1 but then lost six games in a row. They finished 8–8 and made the 2020–21 NFL playoffs, but lost to the New Orleans Saints. After the 2020 season, Trubisky left the team.
Before the 2021 season, the Bears drafted quarterback Justin Fields. They finished 6–11 and missed the playoffs. Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace were fired.
On January 25, 2022, Ryan Poles became the general manager. Two days later, Matt Eberflus was hired as head coach. The Bears struggled in the 2022 season, finishing with a 3–14 record. This gave them the first pick in the 2023 NFL draft. They traded this pick to the Carolina Panthers for wide receiver D. J. Moore and other draft picks.
The Bears started the 2023 season with a 0–4 record, extending their losing streak to 14 games. They improved later in the season, finishing 7–10. They also got the first pick in the 2024 NFL draft from the Panthers. This pick was used to draft quarterback Caleb Williams. Eberflus was fired on November 29, 2024, before the season ended.
On January 21, 2025, the Bears hired Ben Johnson as their 18th head coach. Johnson is known for his creative offense and is expected to help develop Caleb Williams.
Community Involvement
In 2025, new wide receiver Luther Burden III started helping communities in his hometown. He hosted free youth camps, earning praise from fans and teammates.
Team Ownership
The team is mainly owned by the family of George Halas. Virginia Halas McCaskey, George Halas's daughter, was the main owner until she passed away in February 2025 at 102 years old. She controlled most of the team's shares. Other owners include Pat Ryan and Andrew J. McKenna's estate.
In 2020, Forbes magazine said the team was worth $3.525 billion, making it the seventh richest NFL team.
Team Logos and Uniforms
The Bears have had a few official logos over the years. When they were the Decatur Staleys, they used the A. E. Staley company logo. The first Chicago Bears logo in 1940 showed a black bear running with a football. In 1946, a navy blue bear on top of a football was used.
In 1962, the Bears introduced their famous "wishbone-C" logo. This white "C" with a black outline is similar to the "C" used by the Cincinnati Reds baseball team and the University of Chicago Maroons. This change happened when NFL teams started adding logos to their helmets.
In 2023, the orange bear head, which used to be a secondary logo, became the main logo. The "C" is now a secondary logo, but it is still on the helmets and at the 50-yard line of their home field.

Team Culture
Mascots and Cheerleaders
Before 2003, the team had unofficial mascots like "Rocky" and "Bearman." "Rocky" was a fan who led chants, and "Bearman" wore face paint and a bear costume.
In 2003, the team introduced Staley Da Bear, their official mascot. Staley is an anthropomorphic (human-like) bear with a No. 00 jersey. His name comes from the A. E. Staley company that founded the team. Staley entertains fans and visits charity events and other team activities.
The team also had a cheerleading squad called the Chicago Honey Bears from 1976 to 1985. Bears owner Virginia Halas McCaskey ended the squad after the 1985 season.
Philanthropy
Since 1998, the Bears have worked with 'A Safe Place,' a shelter for domestic violence in Waukegan, Illinois. In 2017, Bears employees helped renovate the shelter. The team has also given financial support over the years.

Historic Rivals
Arizona Cardinals
The Bears and Arizona Cardinals have the oldest continuous matchup in the NFL. It started as a rivalry between two Chicago teams. The Bears lead the all-time series 59–28–6.
New York Giants
The Bears and New York Giants have played in six NFL championship games, more than any other matchup. The Bears won four of these games. The two teams also met in the 1985 and 1990 playoffs. The Bears lead the all-time series 36–25–2.

This is still the largest win margin in league history. Washington leads the all-time series 27–25–1.
Team Facilities
Stadium
Soldier Field in Chicago is the home of the Bears. The team moved there in 1971 because they needed a bigger stadium than Wrigley Field, where they played for 50 years. The NFL wanted teams to play in stadiums that could hold at least 50,000 fans.
Soldier Field's playing surface was changed from grass to artificial turf in 1971, then back to grass in 1988. The stadium was closed in 2002 and rebuilt, keeping only the outer wall. It reopened in 2003. Many fans call the rebuilt stadium "New Soldier Field." While it was being rebuilt in 2002, the Bears played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.
Some critics do not like the new stadium's look. Soldier Field lost its National Historic Landmark status in 2006.
In 2021, the Bears tried to buy the Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights, Illinois. In 2023, they completed the purchase of this property. In 2024, the Bears considered building a new stadium near Soldier Field. They showed plans for a $4.7 billion domed stadium. However, due to a lack of public funding, the Bears decided in May 2025 to focus on the Arlington Heights property for their new stadium. The team is still looking at both locations.
Training Camp Locations
The Bears have held their summer training camps in various places over the years. From 1935 to 1944, they trained at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy in Wisconsin. From 1944 to 1974, they were at St. Joseph's College in Indiana.
From 1975 to 1984, they trained at Lake Forest College, where the original Halas Hall was located. From 1984 to 2001, they were at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville. From 2002 to 2019, the Bears held their training camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. Since 2020, the team has held its training camp permanently at the renovated Halas Hall.
Headquarters
The team's main office, Halas Hall, is in Lake Forest, Illinois. It is named after founder George Halas. The Bears practice at facilities next to the headquarters during the season. The current Halas Hall opened in 1997 and has been expanded since.
The team also has a smaller office in downtown Chicago for sales and events.
