Cubs and Bears both advance in playoffs for first time ever

Jan 14, 2026 7:56 PM

The Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears made history this season. 

It was the first time that both franchises had ever advanced in the postseason in the same season. The Cubs beat the San Diego Padres in the Wild Card 2-1, before losing to the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS 3-2. 

The Bears recently beat the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card and advanced to the Divisional Round. Chicago sports fandom is at an all-time high.
