The Green Bay Packers just got a major win before a single snap is played in 2026. The full NFL schedule drops Thursday night, and early indications point to a very favorable travel itinerary for Matt LaFleur's squad.
According to Bill Speros of Bookies.com, the Packers will log just 12,673 miles of travel this season—the fifth-lowest total in the entire league. Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12,185), Chicago Bears (10,676), Cleveland Browns (9,073), and Carolina Panthers (8,740) will spend less time in the air or on the road.
For context, Green Bay actually traveled even less last season at 11,466 miles, meaning this trend of favorable scheduling has become a consistent advantage for the Packers. In a sport where every mile of travel can affect recovery time and performance, less truly is more.
The two longest road trips will take the Packers to Los Angeles and New Orleans, but the rest of the slate keeps them relatively close to home. Here's a look at who Green Bay will face on the road in 2026, with exact dates still to be confirmed Thursday night.
While we wait for the full schedule reveal, Packers fans can already feel good about one thing: their team won't be racking up frequent flyer miles this year. For a squad looking to build on recent momentum, that's the kind of off-field news that can pay dividends on game day.
