List of Chicago Bears seasons The Chicago Bears franchise was originally founded as the Decatur Staleys , a charter member of the American Professional Football Association ( APFA ) . The team moved to Chicago , Illinois in 1921 and changed its name to the Bears in 1922 , the same year the APFA changed its name to the National Football League ( NFL ) . This list documents the franchise ' s completed seasons from 1920 to present , including postseason records and results from postseason games . The Chicago Bears have played over one thousand games in their history , which includes eight NFL Championships victories and one Super Bowl win . The Bears ' nine championships are the second most by any team in history . The franchise has captured eighteen NFL divisional titles and four NFL conference championships . The Bears have also recorded more regular season and overall victories than any other NFL franchise . The franchise has experienced three major periods of continued success in their history . The first period of success came from 1932 to 1946 when the Bears played in nine NFL Championship Games , winning six of them . This period saw the Bears participate in the first ever National Football League playoff game , the first ever official NFL Championship Game , and become the American football sports dynasty of the 1940s . The Bears played in four straight NFL Championship Games between 1940 and 1944 , winning three of them , including an NFL record 73 – 0 victory over the Washington Redskins in 1940 . The second period of success was between 1984 and 1991 when the Bears captured six NFC Central Division titles in eight years and won Super Bowl XX . A brief period of success stretched from 2005 to 2007 when the franchise captured two straight NFC North titles and a NFC Championship title , which earned them a berth in Super Bowl XLI , a game that the club lost to the Indianapolis Colts . The Bears have experienced failure in their history . The franchise finished in last place within its division five times in the 1970s . In 1970 , the team moved from Wrigley Field to Soldier Field to play its home games . In the mid - to late 1990s and early 2000s , the club posted six seasons with 10 or more losses . By chance , these two decades — the 1970s and 1990s — are the only decades in the Bears history that the franchise has not won or played for an NFL Championship or Super Bowl . In the 1969 season , the franchise posted their worst regular season record with a 1 – 13 showing .
