The Chicago Bears are touching down in London this October, transforming the capital into a hub of blue-and-orange excitement with a full week of fan events, food, and football culture.
Running from Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October, the Bears’ London Takeover Week is designed to immerse UK fans—both new and lifelong supporters—in authentic Chicago traditions.
A Taste of Chicago in Shoreditch
From 13th to 19th October, Beechwood Sports Pub in Shoreditch will become the official home of the Bears in London. Expect a complete Chicago-inspired transformation, featuring photo ops, themed décor, and a menu straight from the Midwest.

Bringing Chicago to the UK
“This trip is about continuing to offer fans a way to authentically engage with the Bears team,” said Sarah Smith, VP of Fan Development and Brand Marketing for the Chicago Bears.“We were delighted to play in Tottenham last year, and the fanbase in the capital was electric. We wanted to continue to celebrate our connection with UK fans and bring them a week of incredible Bears experiences.”
