Bears likely to play Raiders in London on October 6

Earlier today, the NFL announced the 2019 schedule will be released on Wednesday, April 17th at 6:00pm CT. While we already know the Bears open the season against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, September 5th at 7:20pm CT, the NFL also confirmed the Bears will play in London for the first time since 2011 against the Oakland Raiders. Now there may be a set week and date for the matchup across the pond.

According to Harry Teinowitz, the Bears will play the Raiders on October 6th, 2019 (which is also week five in the NFL). This also means the Bears most likely will have their bye during week six, as all but one NFL team has had their bye week following their London game since the series began.

Teinowitz is a sports radio host for WGN 720 and has a history for having the inside-track on the Bears schedule hours before the information is made public. It’s likely Bears fans can expect a few more leaks before 6:00pm Wednesday.
