Bear Down, CHGO Unveils Full 2026 Content Slate and Season Events

September 8, 2026

Thirteen weekly and gameday shows, plus a full calendar of fan events, headline CHGO’s Bears coverage for the 2026 season

CHICAGO — September 8, 2026 — CHGO announced its complete lineup of Chicago Bears content for the 2026 season, delivering fans daily coverage, gameday programming, and a season-long slate of in-person events across the city.

Built around ALLCITY’s team-specific coverage model, the CHGO Bears content ecosystem spans eight distinct shows, from daily weekday analysis to gameday pre and postgame coverage to dedicated recap and preview programming, available across streaming video, podcast, and social platforms.

“Bears fans will always be able to count on CHGO to provide relentless comprehensive coverage of their team,” said CHGO General Manager Jake Flannigan. “Our 2026 CHGO Bears show lineup offers a unique and authentic blend of dedicated personalities who live and breathe this team every single day of the year.”

A Week in the Life of CHGO Bears Coverage

The week opens Monday at 9 a.m. with Hoge & Jahns, one of three weekly installments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday featuring beat writer Adam Jahns and Bears insider Adam Hoge. From there, the flagship CHGO Bears show takes over, anchored by Hoge, Mark Carman and Greg Braggs. On Mondays, former Bears linebacker Lance Briggs pulls up a chair for “Professor Briggs’ Grades,” breaking down the tape from the weekend, and Jahns drops in live throughout the week to bring what he’s hearing from the building. Monday night belongs to CHGO Bears After Dark, with Braggs joined by regulars Shayne Marsaw and Phil Ottochian and a recurring guest segment from Adam Rank to recap the weekend.

Thursday mornings belong to Brick By Brick, the midweek installment of Greg Braggs, Lance Briggs and former Bears defensive back Jerry Azumah, digging into the state of the roster and the story lines building toward Sunday. By Friday night, the focus has fully turned to the coming matchup: Joey Christopoulos and Patrick Norton take over for CHGO Bears After Dark (Preview), setting the table for kickoff of that week’s matchup.

Gameday itself is a full production. An hour before kickoff, Hoge, Carman and former Bears defensive end Corey Wootton open CHGO Bears Pregame, with Jahns again live from the scene and Braggs expected to join in when the Bears are on the road. The moment the final whistle blows, the crew reconvenes for CHGO Bears Postgame, Hoge, Carman, Braggs and Wootton, plus Jahns, capped by a “Players Only” segment, where Lance Briggs, Jerry Azumah and Corey Wootton break the game down from a player’s perspective. From there, without a break, Braggs, Briggs and Azumah carry the energy straight into the Brick By Brick After Show.

Beyond the Broadcast

The coverage doesn’t stop at the camera. CHGO is kicking off the season Wednesday with the 2026 CHGO Football Kickoff Rooftop Party at Utopian Tailgate on September 9. From there, fans can find the CHGO crew at nine home tailgates running from September through January, and the season’s two marquee road trips: a bus trip and tailgate to Green Bay on October 11, and a multi-day road trip to Miami from December 10–14.
