Chicago Bears to release postseason tickets this week. Here's how it will work

While the Bears’ chances for making the playoffs may have gone down after Sunday’s loss to the Packers, the hope for a postseason appearance is still very much alive and fans can soon begin purchasing tickets.

The Bears announced Tuesday that tickets will go on sale for potential home games for the 2025 Postseason starting Thursday.

Single-game tickets for a potential NFC Wild Card home game and a potential NFC Divisional Round home game both go on sale at 11 a.m. CT at ChicagoBears.com/tickets. Season ticket holders and those on the Season Ticket Priority List will have early access, with the window opening from 10-10:45 a.m. CT.

Any tickets purchased will be mobile-only, according to the team.

If the Bears don’t host an NFC Wild Card or Divisional Round game, those who purchased tickets on Ticketmaster will be refunded within seven to 10 days of the scheduled date of the game.

Here’s a look at the NFL Postseason schedule:

• Super Wild Card Weekend: Saturday, Jan. 10 – Monday, Jan. 12, 2026
• Divisional Round Weekend: Saturday, Jan. 17 – Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026
• NFC/AFC Championship Games: Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026

What are the Bears chances of making the playoffs?

After Sunday’s loss, the Bears dropped from the top spot in the NFC standings to the seventh seed, a huge fall that would leave them in the final postseason spot and just one game ahead of the Lions, who currently sit in eighth after beating the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

Fortunately for the Bears, they will have plenty of opportunities to secure playoff positioning against the very teams they are trying to fend off, but that will have to wait as they take on the Cleveland Browns this weekend at Soldier Field.

The loss to the Packers on Sunday dropped the Bears’ playoff chances to 63%, and they have just a 22% chance of winning the NFC North and guaranteeing themselves a home game in the first round of the playoffs, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.

The Athletic is slightly more bullish on the Bears’ chances, with 70% chance of reaching the playoffs and a 26% chance of winning the division.
