The Chicago Bears<\/a> will host the Green Bay Packers<\/a> in the wild-card round of the 2026 NFL playoffs. The Bears are in the market for a new stadium, but currently still play at Soldier Field in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The Bears made the postseason after winning the NFC North. Chicago earned a top-four seed in the NFC, which guaranteed them home-field advantage for at least wild-card weekend. The issue with Soldier Field in the winter is that it is open-air and doesn’t have a roof. The players will be subject to the elements, which could certainly pose challenges in Chicago in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The forecast for the wild-card game on Saturday night looks cold. While it seems the players will avoid battling snow, the Bears and Packers will both have to deal with\u00a0freezing temperatures and winds, something both franchises are used to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the latest weather updates for the Bears and Packers Wild Card game in the 2026 NFL playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1:36 p.m<\/strong>. — It’s going to be a cold one in Chicago as expected. The snow didn’t accumulate much so that won’t be a factor. With about six and a half hours to go before kickoff, it is currently 35 degrees with a RealFeel of 30. The wind is blowing at six mph and gusting at 13 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chicago is projected by AccuWeather<\/a> to get a coating of snow up to an inch from Saturday morning into Sunday afternoon. This amount of snow is nothing for the area, but does just show that it will be cold enough for snowy conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The game doesn’t kick off until 8 p.m. ET. The projected “real feel” for the game is 15 degrees with wind gusts up to 21 mph. Luckily, there is only a 1% chance of precipitation for the game itself, so the players will just have to battle the wind and the cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
