According to David Kaplan from ESPN, the Bears are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany during the upcoming season. This news confirms earlier speculations about a possible Chicago-Kansas City matchup for an international game.
Germany has been given the international marketing rights for the Chiefs, making it the perfect destination for an overseas game. Since this is considered a road game for the Bears, it is eligible to be included in the international lineup.
Although the Bears have played in London thrice before, the game against the Chiefs in Germany will be their first time playing there. Fans are understandably excited to see their team play on a new international stage.
This matchup between the Bears and Chiefs presents several fascinating storylines, including the much-anticipated showdown between young quarterbacks Justin Fields and Patrick Mahomes. Fans will also be eager to see how the Bears fare against their former head coach, Matt Nagy, who now serves as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator.
The official 2023 Bears schedule will be released next month, and fans are looking forward to seeing the confirmation for the Germany game in the days leading up to the announcement.
With the international matchup set, fans can start planning their trips to see their beloved Bears take on the Chiefs on foreign soil!
