The countdown is officially on for the Green Bay Packers' 2026 schedule release, and the excitement is building. The NFL has confirmed that the full slate of games will be unveiled this Thursday, May 14, at 8 PM Eastern. While we're still a few days away from knowing exact dates and times, rumors are already swirling, and we're tracking every detail to keep you ready for the season ahead.
As of Monday morning, no official game times have been confirmed for the Packers, but the league has been teasing some big matchups in the lead-up to the big reveal. With the full schedule set to drop later this week, expect more leaks and whispers to surface, especially for a team with as passionate a fanbase as Green Bay.
Let's break down what we already know about the Packers' 2026 opponents. The NFC North will face the NFC South and AFC East as part of the standard rotation. Since the Packers finished second in their division last season, they'll also take on the second-place teams from the NFC West, NFC East, and AFC South.
Here's a look at the full list of opponents:
Home Games: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans
Road Games: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams
One major question on fans' minds is whether the Packers will play abroad in 2026. While no games have been finalized yet, the team is unlikely to travel overseas this season. However, there are two potential exceptions. The NFL has already announced that the New Orleans Saints will host a game in Paris, France, meaning Green Bay's road matchup against the Saints could end up being a trip across the Atlantic. Similarly, the Packers could face an international opponent depending on how the remaining schedules shake out.
For now, all eyes are on Thursday night. Whether you're planning your game-day wardrobe or just dreaming of Lambeau Field in the fall, stay tuned—we'll be updating this tracker all week long with the latest rumors and official confirmations as they break.
