GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers’ 2026 schedule will feature nine home games and eight road contests and is highlighted by six prime-time contests — subject to flexible scheduling.

Of the 17 games on the schedule, seven will be against teams that made the playoffs last season, including four versus division champions.

The Packers will open the season on the road for the seventh time in the last eight seasons when they take on the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers follow it up with a trip out east to take on the New York Jets in Week 2.

Week 3 has a short turnaround as the Packers welcome the Atlanta Falcons to Lambeau Field for a Thursday night matchup. Green Bay returns to the road in Week 4 when it travels to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

A home game against the Chicago Bears in Week 5 starts a run of three home games in four weeks and four matchups against NFC opponents. The Dallas Cowboys visit on a Sunday night in Week 6 and the Packers then travel across the lake to face the Detroit Lions before a short turnaround as Green Bay hosts the Carolina Panthers on a Thursday night in Week 8.

Green Bay makes another run out east to take on the AFC champs from last season in the Patriots, the first visit to New England since 2018. The Packers welcome the Vikings at Lambeau Field before a Week 11 bye.

In Week 12, Green Bay goes west to Los Angeles to face the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve. The Packers finish the second of two back-to-back road stretches with a trip to face the Saints in New Orleans in Week 13.

The regular season finishes with four of the final five contests at home. Week 14 is a prime-time matchup at home against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. The Packers finish their AFC East slate by hosting the Miami Dolphins the next week.

The final regular-season road game will take place in Chicago on Christmas against the Bears, marking the third Christmas meeting between the Packers and Bears (2005, 2011) and the first at Soldier Field.

The Houston Texans come to Lambeau Field for a matchup on Monday Night Football in Week 17.

The regular-season finale will be at home against the Detroit Lions on a day and time to be determined. It is fourth time under Head Coach Matt LaFleur that Green Bay will end the season against Detroit (2019, 2021-22).
