Bears set for NFL's toughest 2026 schedule after schedule release
TL;DR Summary
The 2026 NFL schedule is out and Chicago Bears face the league's toughest strength of schedule (.550), driven by last season's winning records across the NFC North and the addition of a first-place slate. The Eagles have the easiest first-place schedule, while the Browns and Saints benefit from the two easiest overall schedules. Rankings are based on opponents' 2025 records under the 17-game format, which reshuffles who each team faces each year.
