The 2023 season was the Chicago Bears' 104th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their second under the head coach/general manager tandem of Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles.
Despite starting the season 0–4, and extending the team losing streak to 14 (longest in team history; dating back to the 2022 season),{{cite web | last=Gordon | first=Grant | title=Justin Fields, Bears snap 14-game losing streak: 'I'm proud of everybody in the building' | website=NFL.com | date=2023-10-06 | url=https://www.nfl.com/news/justin-fields-bears-snap-14-game-losing-streak-i-m-proud-of-everybody-in-the-bui | access-date=2024-12-02}} the Bears improved on their 3–14 record from the previous season after a Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings, and improved on their 6–11 record from the 2021 season after a Week 17 win against the Atlanta Falcons, although a Week 15 loss to the Cleveland Browns ensured their third consecutive losing season and fifth consecutive non-winning campaign. After the Carolina Panthers' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on New Year's Eve, they secured the first overall pick in the NFL draft for the second successive season. However, wins by the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers later that day eliminated the Bears from playoff contention for the third consecutive season.
The Bears tied an NFL record for most blown double digit 4th quarter leads, at three.{{Cite web |date=2023-12-19 |title=Bears reach historic depths of blowing late leads |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39141925/bears-reach-historic-depths-blowing-late-leads |access-date=2024-05-23 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}
During the season, Justin Fields became the fourth quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to have 5,000 passing yards and 1,500 rushing yards in their first 30 starts.{{Cite web|title=Chicago Bears snap 14-game losing streak with 40-20 victory over the Washington Commanders|url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/06/sport/chicago-bears-winless-streak-washington-commanders-spt-intl/index.html|website=CNN |language=en-US}}
