The 1982 Chicago Bears season was their 63rd regular season completed in the National Football League. The club posted a 3-6 record under first year head coach Mike Ditka in a strike shortened season.
The strike also prevented the Bears–Packers rivalry from being played this year, making the Lions–Packers rivalry the longest-running annual series in the league.
