The 2025 season was the Chicago Bears' 106th in the National Football League (NFL), their fourth under the leadership of general manager Ryan Poles and their first under head coach Ben Johnson. This was their first season since 1982 without Virginia Halas McCaskey since she took over as team owner, as she died on February 6, 2025 at the age of 102.
The Bears improved on their 5–12 record from 2024 following a week 10 win against the New York Giants. With a week 13 road win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears clinched their first winning season since 2018. Their 11-4 start was also their best since doing the same in that season. After a Week 16 overtime win against their longtime rival, the Green Bay Packers, coupled with the Detroit Lions losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers the following day, the Bears secured their first playoff berth since 2020 as well as ending their seven-year NFC North title drought following the Packers' loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17.
The Bears began their playoff run with a comeback victory over the Packers in the Wild Card round, marking their first playoff win since the 2010 season. They would later lose to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round in overtime. During the season, Caleb Williams broke Erik Kramer's record for the most single-season passing yards as a Bear with 3,942; the previous record was 3,838, making him the first Bear to have a 3,900-passing yard season.
