The Bears are set to open their 2025 preseason slate this Sunday afternoon, hosting the Dolphins at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.
For Miami, the new season arrives with plenty of questions. Coming off a disappointing sub-.500 campaign, the Dolphins face mounting pressure to bounce back. With a few key departures over the offseason, the team enters the preseason needing to quickly find its footing and establish some momentum ahead of Week 1.
Meanwhile, Chicago embarks on what could be a transformative chapter. The Bears are under new leadership, with former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson taking the reins as head coach. In a rugged NFC North, the franchise is banking on a fresh approach to spark a turnaround.
This preseason opener may mark the first steps toward what fans hope will be a resurgence at Soldier Field.
