The Green Bay Packers are set to kick off the 2026 season with a bang, facing NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings on the road. While the NFL officially releases the full schedule on May 14, we've got an early look at the complete slate, courtesy of a league source.

This season, the Packers enjoy nine home games at the iconic Lambeau Field and eight road contests—a nice shift from 2025's eight home and nine road games (plus a wild-card playoff trip to Chicago). The schedule is packed with prime-time matchups and divisional battles that will test the team's depth.

The action starts Sunday, Sept. 13, with a 3:25 p.m. showdown against the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on CBS. It's a tough opener that sets the tone for the season. From there, the Packers hit a Thursday night game in Week 3, hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 24 at 7:15 p.m. on Amazon. After a trip to Tampa Bay on Oct. 4 (noon, Fox), they return home for a key divisional clash with the Chicago Bears on Oct. 11 (3:25 p.m., Fox).

October heats up with a Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 18 at Lambeau (7:20 p.m., NBC), followed by a road test at the Detroit Lions on Oct. 25 (3:25 p.m., Fox). The Packers then host the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, Oct. 29 (7:15 p.m., Amazon) before traveling to New England on Nov. 8 (3:25 p.m., Fox).

The back half of the season includes a rematch with the Vikings at Lambeau on Nov. 15 (noon, Fox) and a unique Wednesday night game against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 25 (7 p.m., Netflix). The regular season wraps up with the Detroit Lions on the weekend of Jan. 9-10 (time and network TBD).

With nine home games and a mix of prime-time slots, the Packers' 2026 schedule offers plenty of excitement for fans. Whether you're gearing up for Lambeau's frozen tundra or planning a road trip, this season promises memorable moments. Get your gear ready—it's going to be a thrilling ride.
