The Green Bay Packers' 2026 schedule has been revealed in full, and it's shaping up to be a season packed with primetime drama and streaming surprises. An hour before the NFL's official schedule release, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel broke the news, giving fans a complete look at every game, kickoff time, and broadcast channel. Here's your week-by-week guide to the Packers' upcoming campaign:
Week 1 – Sunday, Sept. 13: at Minnesota Vikings, 3:25 pm CT (CBS) – A heavyweight NFC North showdown to kick things off, with the Packers traveling to U.S. Bank Stadium for a late-afternoon clash.
Week 2 – Thursday, Sept. 24: vs. Atlanta Falcons, 7:15 pm CT (Amazon) – The first of two Thursday Night Football appearances, as the Falcons visit Lambeau Field under the lights.
Week 3 – Sunday, Oct. 4: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Noon CT (FOX) – A cross-conference battle in Florida, pitting Green Bay against Tom Brady's former squad.
Week 4 – Sunday, Oct. 25: at Detroit Lions, 3:25 pm CT (FOX) – Another critical divisional road game, this time in the Motor City, with playoff implications likely already brewing.
Week 5 – Thursday, Oct. 29: vs. Carolina Panthers, 7:15 pm CT (Amazon) – Back-to-back Thursday games? Almost! This one comes just four days after Detroit, giving the Packers a short week to prep for Carolina.
Week 6 – Sunday, Nov. 8: at New England Patriots, 3:25 pm CT (FOX) – A trip to Gillette Stadium for a classic NFC-AFC matchup, with the Packers facing a rebuilding Patriots squad.
Week 7 – Wednesday, Nov. 25: at Los Angeles Rams, 7 pm CT (Netflix) – "Thanksgiving Eve" gets a streaming twist as the Packers head to SoFi Stadium for a Netflix exclusive. Yes, you read that right – Netflix is now in the football game.
Week 8 – Sunday, Dec. 6: at New Orleans Saints, Noon CT (FOX) – A return to the Superdome, where the Packers will aim to silence the crowd and improve their late-season road record.
Week 9 – Friday, Dec. 25: at Chicago Bears, Noon CT (Netflix) – Christmas Day football! The Packers and Bears renew their historic rivalry in a holiday matinee, exclusively on Netflix. Talk about a stocking stuffer.
Week 10 – Saturday/Sunday, Jan. 9/10: vs. Detroit Lions (TBD) – The regular-season finale against the Lions, with date and time to be determined. This could be a winner-take-all divisional battle.
That's right – after playing their Wild Card game on Amazon last season, the Packers are embracing the streaming era in a big way. They'll appear on streaming services at least four times in 2026: two Thursday Night Football games on Amazon and two Netflix games (one on "Thanksgiving Eve" and one on Christmas). For fans, that means fewer traditional broadcast slots but more flexibility to catch the action from anywhere.
As for the early-season narrative, the Packers face a manageable slate before any potential roster adjustments. If star linebacker Micah Parsons (assuming he's still on the team) remains on the physically unable to perform list at the start of the season, Green Bay would have to go without him for the first four games per league rules. Those contests – against the Vikings, Falcons, Buccaneers, and Lions – will test the team's depth and resilience. But with a schedule that balances tough road trips and winnable home stands, the Packers have a clear path to contention. Gear up, Cheeseheads – 2026 is coming in hot.
