The offseason grind is in the rearview, and eyes are now set on what’s ahead. As anticipation builds for the 2025 NFL season, the league has dropped some key updates that outline how and when teams will hit the ground running this summer.

On Wednesday, the NFL officially released training camp reporting dates and locations for all 32 franchises. For the Chicago Bears, camp will return to Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Illinois, where rookies are set to report on July 19 and veterans on July 22. Alongside this, the league confirmed that 29 teams will participate in joint practices during the preseason—including the Bears. This information was originally reported by NFL.com as part of its league-wide training camp announcement.

Chicago will host two joint practice sessions in August. On August 8, the Miami Dolphins come to town, followed by the Buffalo Bills on August 15. Both practices will be held at Halas Hall, giving the Bears early tests against two playoff-caliber squads.
