The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. The Bears have won nine NFL Championships, including one Super Bowl, and hold the NFL record for the most retired jersey numbers. The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise.

The franchise was founded in Decatur, Illinois, on September 17, 1920, originally as the Decatur Staleys. The team moved to Chicago in 1921 and changed its name to the Chicago Staleys before adopting its current name in 1922.

The Bears have played in over a thousand games since becoming a charter member of the NFL in 1920. Through the 2018 season, they lead the league in overall wins with 739 and have an overall winning percentage of .578, both records for an NFL franchise.
