Bears raising season ticket prices by 13.5 percent

The Bears’ playoff run came at a cost.

The team is raising the price of season tickets by an average of 13.5 percent in 2026, president/CEO Kevin Warren said in a letter to season ticket-holders Tuesday. He cited “detailed analysis and market research” as his reasoning.

The Bears are in the process of looking for a home for a new stadium, be it Arlington Heights or in Northwest Indiana.

A jump in price was expected this year. The Bears, after all, raised ticket prices by 10 percent despite coming off a 5-12 record and the first-ever in-season firing of the heir head coach. In 2024, Warren announced an 8 percent average increase in season ticket prices in the wake of a 7-10 season.

Warren said that the Bears will play a first-place schedule in 2026 but “have the best home-field advantage in the NFL.” The Bears will host nine regular season games, up one from last year, and one preseason game, down one from 2025. Since switching to a 17-game schedule, the NFL has rotated the extra home game by conference.
