Monday, January 12, 2026

Good evening, Chicago.

The Bears will face the Rams in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs next weekend. The game will be played next Sunday at Soldier Field, with the time and broadcast details expected to be announced late Monday.

The Bears and Rams have met twice previously in the postseason but not since January 1986 in the NFC championship game. The ’85 Bears cruised to a 24-0 victory at Soldier Field in that game on their way to the Super Bowl XX title.

The franchises also met in a December 1950 playoff game that the Rams won at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
