Bears Kick Off Preseason Thursday

Bears Look to Start Preseason Strong

Hall of Fame Game vs. Houston Texans Thursday

The Chicago Bears will kick off their preseason schedule this Thursday, August 9, against the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.

The game will be broadcast on NBC and will be streamed on Peacock and NFL+. Fans can also listen to the game on WBBM Newsradio 780 and the Bears Radio Network.

The Bears are looking to start the preseason strong after a disappointing 2023 season. The team finished with a 3-14 record and missed the playoffs for the 11th time in the last 12 years.

New head coach Matt Eberflus is hoping to change the culture of the Bears and get the team back to winning ways.

The Texans are also looking to improve on a disappointing 2023 season. The team finished with a 2-15 record and earned the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Texans used the No. 1 pick to select quarterback Bryce Young. Young is considered to be one of the best quarterback prospects in recent memory, and he is expected to start for the Texans this season.

The Bears and Texans are both looking to start the preseason strong and get their seasons off on the right foot.
