Green Bay Packers Schedule 2026: Full Slate, Dates, Times and TV

by

The Packers get nine games at Lambeau Field in 2026 and two of the season’s oddest kickoff slots. Green Bay plays the Rams on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving on Netflix, then travels to Chicago on Christmas Day, also on Netflix.

Matt LaFleur’s eighth season opens on the road in Minnesota. The Packers went 9-7-1 last year and lost in the wild-card round at Soldier Field, so the two Bears games carry extra weight.

Games That Will Define the Packers’ Season

Wk 12 at Rams A Wednesday night game on Netflix, the night before Thanksgiving, coming straight out of the bye. It is the only Wednesday game on Green Bay’s calendar and one of the strangest slots in the league.
Wk 16 at Bears Christmas Day at Soldier Field on Netflix, against the team that won the NFC North last season and knocked Green Bay out of the playoffs.
Wk 6 vs Cowboys Sunday night at Lambeau against Dallas, the marquee home date of the year and one of two Sunday night home games.
Wk 17-18 Houston on Monday night, then Detroit at Lambeau in Week 18. Two home games to finish, with the Lions game likely to matter for seeding.
Two Netflix Games
Green Bay is the only team scheduled for both a Wednesday-night streaming window and the Christmas Day slate, with the Rams and Bears games back-to-back on the same platform.
Nine at Lambeau
A flip from 2025, when the Packers had eight home games and nine on the road. Six of the nine home dates fall in the second half.
Two Thursday Home Games
Atlanta in Week 3 and Carolina in Week 8, both on Prime Video, both at Lambeau. Add the Sunday night dates and Green Bay is on national television constantly.

How the Schedule Sets Up

Green Bay starts with two road games, which is a slow way to begin, but the middle of the schedule is generous: five of six at Lambeau from Week 5 through Week 10, with Chicago, Dallas, Carolina and Minnesota all coming to Wisconsin. The bye then lands at Week 11, right before the Netflix trip to Los Angeles.

December is where it gets awkward. New Orleans on the road, Buffalo and Miami at home, then Christmas at Soldier Field on a short week. For the other side of the Week 6 matchup, see our Dallas Cowboys schedule page. Full league schedules and flexible-scheduling rules are published by the NFL.

The Bottom Line

Nine home games, a Week 11 bye, a Wednesday night on Netflix and Christmas Day in Chicago. The Packers get a friendly middle stretch at Lambeau and a finish that runs through both of their closest division rivals. Bookmark this page; results and Week 18 details are updated throughout the season.
