Green Bay Packers Schedule 2026: Printable PDF, Times, TV Channels
The Green Bay Packers schedule 2026 puts both holiday games on Netflix. Green Bay visits the Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 25, then plays at Chicago on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25. Neither game airs on regular broadcast television.
The season opens on the road at Minnesota on Sunday, September 13 at 4:25 PM ET on CBS and finishes at Lambeau Field against Detroit in Week 18. Green Bay gets nine home dates this year because the NFC hosts the extra interconference game.
Last season ended badly. Green Bay went 9-7-1 in the regular season, tied for the best record in the NFC North, then lost the NFC Wild Card game at Chicago 31-27 after leading 21-3 at halftime.
Below is every date, kickoff time and TV channel for the year ahead, plus a free printable schedule and a wall calendar sized for US Letter paper.

Green Bay Packers Schedule 2026: Every Date and TV Channel
Home games are marked “vs” and road games “at.” All times are Eastern. Green Bay sits in the Central zone, so subtract one hour for the local Lambeau clock.

One date stays open. The Week 18 meeting with the Detroit Lions lands on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10, 2027, and the league only fixes it after Week 17. Sunday afternoon kickoffs can also slide under flexible scheduling, so treat the 1:00 PM and 4:25 PM slots as provisional until game week.
The division work is stacked at both ends. Green Bay meets an NFC North rival in Weeks 1, 5, 7, 10, 16 and 18, and plays only one division game across the whole of November. December closes with a Christmas trip to Soldier Field and a Monday night home date on January 4.

Packers Preseason Schedule 2026
Two road trips and one home date. Every game kicks off at 6:00 PM local or later, the first time Green Bay has had an all night 2026 NFL preseason since 2022.
| Game | Date | Opponent | Time (ET) | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu, Aug 13 | at Pittsburgh Steelers | 7:00 PM | Packers TV Network |
| 2 | Fri, Aug 21 | at Denver Broncos | 9:00 PM | Packers TV Network |
| 3 | Fri, Aug 28 | vs Arizona Cardinals | 8:00 PM | Packers TV Network |
WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee and NBC 26 in Green Bay anchor a 17-station network across Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, northeastern Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Alaska. All three games also stream in Spanish on Telemundo Wisconsin.
The opener at Pittsburgh is the first preseason meeting between these clubs since 2018 and the first in Pittsburgh since 2015. The finale against Arizona is the Packers Give Back Game and the first preseason matchup with the Cardinals since 2013.
What Channel is the Packers Game On? TV Schedule
FOX carries half the season, which is normal for an NFC club. What is not normal is four games assigned to streaming services, including both holiday dates.
| Network | Games | Weeks |
|---|---|---|
| FOX | 8 | 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15 |
| NBC | 2 | 6, 14 |
| Prime Video | 2 | 3, 8 |
| Netflix | 2 | 12, 16 |
| CBS | 1 | 1 |
| ESPN | 1 | 17 |
| TBD | 1 | 18 |
Three things to know:
- Both Netflix games are on the road. Wisconsin viewers get no local simulcast for Thanksgiving Eve at the Rams or Christmas Day at Chicago, because the free over the air rule only covers the two participating markets. A Netflix subscription is the only way to watch either one from Green Bay.
- The two Thursday games are simulcast locally. Week 3 against Atlanta and Week 8 against Carolina stream nationally on Prime Video, but both are home games, so Wisconsin stations carry them free over the air.
- Flex scheduling can still move things. Sunday night is eligible from Week 5, Monday night from Week 12 and Thursday night from Week 13. The Week 15 home game against Miami is the most obvious candidate for a December move.
Radio runs through 95.7 BIG FM (WRIT), flagship of a 53-station Packers Radio Network reaching Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota. Out of market fans can pick up the Sunday afternoon FOX and CBS games through NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube.
Add it up and a digital antenna covers 13 of the 17 games in Wisconsin: eight on FOX, two on NBC, one on CBS and the two Thursday home games. The Week 17 Monday night game needs ESPN, the two Netflix dates need a subscription, and Week 18 is unassigned.
Packers Kickoff Times in Every Time Zone
Five kickoff windows appear on the card. Central is the Lambeau column, so that is the one Wisconsin fans want.
| Eastern | Central (Green Bay) | Mountain | Pacific |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 PM | 12:00 PM | 11:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| 4:25 PM | 3:25 PM | 2:25 PM | 1:25 PM |
| 8:00 PM | 7:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 5:00 PM |
| 8:15 PM | 7:15 PM | 6:15 PM | 5:15 PM |
| 8:20 PM | 7:20 PM | 6:20 PM | 5:20 PM |
Six games start at noon Central and four more at 3:25 PM Central, so ten of the seventeen are ordinary Sunday afternoon football. The travel map is kind: five of the eight road trips stay in the Eastern or Central zones and the Rams game is the only trip to the Pacific coast all year.
Arizona is worth a note for anyone watching from Phoenix, because the state does not observe daylight saving time. Arizona matches the Pacific column until November 1, 2026, then matches the Mountain column for the rest of the season.

Packers 2026 Wall Calendar Printable (PDF)
Prefer month grids? This version runs August 2026 through January 2027. Lambeau dates are filled in Packers green, road dates are outlined in gold, preseason squares are tagged PRE, and each square carries the opponent and kickoff time.
October is the month to pin up, with five game days including two prime time home dates in eight days. November is the opposite, a single square after the 15th because of the bye, then the Wednesday night trip to Los Angeles on the 25th. Also US Letter, also free.
Printing tip: pick “Actual size” or “100%” instead of “Fit to page” so the small type stays sharp.
The Netflix Holiday Double
Green Bay lands in both of the league’s streaming holiday windows, and both are away from Lambeau Field.
The first is Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 25 at SoFi Stadium against the Los Angeles Rams, 8:00 PM ET. Both clubs come in rested: the NFL gave Green Bay and the Rams the same Week 11 bye precisely because of this midweek date. A Wednesday night NFL game is rare on its own, and this is the first one on the calendar.
The second is Christmas Day, Friday, December 25 at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears, 1:00 PM ET. The two clubs have met 212 times, more than any pairing in NFL history, and Green Bay leads the series 109-96-6. It is also the Packers’ only December division game.
The practical point for fans is simple. Neither game appears on FOX, CBS, NBC or a Wisconsin station, because the local simulcast rule only applies inside the two participating markets and Green Bay is the visitor both times. Anyone watching from home needs Netflix.
When is the Packers Bye Week in 2026?
Week 11, the weekend of November 22. Ten games come before the break and seven after it, so the heavier half of the season sits on the near side of the bye.
Week 11 is the busiest bye of the year. Six clubs are off: the Packers, Rams, Falcons, Browns, Patriots and Seahawks. Byes run from Week 5 through Week 14 in 2026, with none at all in Week 12 when every team plays during Thanksgiving week.
The timing is useful. The rest lands directly before the Wednesday night trip to Los Angeles, turning an awkward date into a ten day gap between games. It also splits a busy run: Green Bay plays six games in the five weeks from October 11 through November 15, including two Thursday nights. Compare every club on our NFL bye weeks page.
Packers 2026 Coaching Staff and Key Players
The head coach stayed. Almost everything under him on defense changed.
- Matt LaFleur enters his eighth season. The club announced multi-year extensions for LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst and football operations chief Russ Ball on January 30, 2026. Green Bay has six winning seasons in seven years under him and has now reached the postseason 38 times, more than any franchise in league history.
- Jonathan Gannon was named defensive coordinator on February 2, 2026, after three seasons as head coach in Arizona and two as coordinator in Philadelphia. He replaces Jeff Hafley, who left to become head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Adam Stenavich stays as offensive coordinator.
- Rich Bisaccia stepped down in February and later joined Clemson. Cam Achord, the Patriots special teams coordinator from 2020 to 2023, takes over. Bobby Babich, Buffalo’s defensive coordinator the past two seasons, runs the secondary and pass game, and Luke Getsy is quarterbacks coach and assistant head coach on offense.
- Jordan Love is coming off his best year: 291 of 439 for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 101.2 rating in 15 games. In the wild card loss he threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns with no picks, joining Bart Starr and Aaron Rodgers as the only Packers to do that in a playoff game.
- Two knee injuries shape the start of the year. Micah Parsons tore his ACL on December 14, 2025 and opened camp on the physically unable to perform list, calling a mid October return realistic. Tucker Kraft, who tore his ACL a month earlier, returned to practice on July 31 ahead of the usual nine month timeline and is aiming to start Week 1.
- The roster moved around him. Rashan Gary was traded to Dallas in March, Javon Hargrave and Benjamin St-Juste signed, and Devonte Wyatt was extended in July. Matthew Golden enters year two after 84 yards and a touchdown in the playoff game, with Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Christian Watson around him.
How to Get Green Bay Packers Tickets
Home tickets run through the official Packers ticket page, which routes single game sales to Ticketmaster. Verified resale is available on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats, and the Lambeau Field box office sells in person. Season tickets are effectively closed: the club said in February that more than 155,000 fans sit on the waiting list.
Three home dates price highest: the Sunday night game against Dallas in Week 6, the Sunday night meeting with Buffalo in Week 14 and the Week 18 finale against Detroit. The Thursday night game against Carolina on October 29 is the value pick.
Hold off on Week 18 until the league sets the date, because a Saturday kickoff changes travel plans for a lot of buyers.
Green Bay Packers Schedule 2026 FAQ
When do the Packers play their first game in 2026?
Sunday, September 13, 2026 at the Minnesota Vikings, 4:25 PM ET on CBS at U.S. Bank Stadium. The home opener comes 11 days later, on Thursday, September 24 against the Atlanta Falcons at 8:15 PM ET on Prime Video.

What channel are Green Bay Packers games on in 2026?
FOX carries 8 games. NBC has 2, Prime Video has 2 and Netflix has 2. CBS has the Week 1 opener and ESPN has the Week 17 Monday night game. Week 18 is still TBD. Five games kick off at 8:15 or 8:20 PM ET. Preseason games air on the Packers TV Network through WTMJ-TV Milwaukee and NBC 26 Green Bay, and radio runs on 95.7 BIG FM (WRIT).
Do the Packers play on Netflix in 2026?
Yes, twice. Netflix streams Thanksgiving Eve at the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, November 25 at 8:00 PM ET, and Christmas Day at the Chicago Bears on Friday, December 25 at 1:00 PM ET. Both are road games, so there is no free local simulcast in Wisconsin and a Netflix subscription is required.
When is the Packers bye week in 2026?
Week 11, the weekend of November 22. Green Bay plays ten games before the break and seven after it. The bye sits between the home game against Minnesota on November 15 and the Wednesday night trip to the Los Angeles Rams on November 25, giving the Packers ten days between games. Six teams are off in Week 11, the most of any week this season.
Who is the Packers head coach in 2026?
Matt LaFleur, in his eighth season. He was named the 15th head coach in franchise history on January 8, 2019 and signed a multi-year extension announced on January 30, 2026. Adam Stenavich returns as offensive coordinator and Jonathan Gannon took over the defense on February 2, 2026 after three seasons as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
When will Micah Parsons return in 2026?
No date is set. Parsons tore his ACL on December 14, 2025 and his surgery included a meniscus repair, so he opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list. On August 5, 2026 he said a mid October return is realistic and called the Week 6 home game against his former team, Dallas, on October 18 doable but not guaranteed.
How many Super Bowls have the Green Bay Packers won?
Four: Super Bowl I in January 1967, Super Bowl II in January 1968, Super Bowl XXXI in January 1997 and Super Bowl XLV in February 2011. Counting the pre-merger era, Green Bay has 13 NFL championships, more than any other club.
The Green Bay Packers schedule 2026 asks a lot of the road team. Five of the eight away trips leave the Central zone, both holiday games are on Netflix and away from Lambeau Field, and the year ends with a Christmas visit to Chicago before a home finale against Detroit that could decide the division.
