In this story:

We are just a handful of days away from the Chicago Bears' entire team being in the building for training camp, which is the next big step toward the start of the 2026 campaign in September.

Bears rookies will report on July 25, and then veterans will report three days later on July 28. From there, the Bears will hold their first practice of camp on July 29, and the first open practice is slated to be held on July 31.

Chicago will also hold joint practices with the Cincinnati Bengals (Aug. 20 in Ohio) and Tennessee Titans (Aug. 27 in Tennessee). Both of those teams are Bears preseason opponents.

Now, a look at the full training camp schedule for the Bears.
