Get ready for an exciting season ahead, Green Bay Packers fans! The 2026 opponents have been finalized, and it's a slate that promises thrilling matchups and international adventures.
As of January 5, 2026, the Packers' regular-season schedule is set. Here's a breakdown of who they'll face and where:
Divisional Rivals:
The Packers will battle it out with their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, both at home and on the road. These divisional matchups are always intense and can make or break a team's season.
Conference Showdowns:
Based on the scheduling rotation, Green Bay will take on all teams from the NFC South and AFC East. This means they'll face the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, and Miami Dolphins at home, and travel to face the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rotational Matchups:
Due to the Packers' second-place finish in the NFC North, they'll also play the second-place teams from the remaining NFC divisions and the AFC South. This adds the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and New York Jets to their away schedule.
In total, Green Bay is set for nine home games and eight away games. But here's where it gets interesting - the NFL's international expansion! The Packers have already played in London and Sao Paulo, and with the league planning games in Melbourne, Mexico City, Munich, Rio de Janeiro, and potentially Paris, Green Bay might just be in line for another international adventure. After all, they're one of the few teams with a relatively low number of international games under their belt.
So, here's the full list of home and away games for the 2026 season:
Packers 2026 Home Games:
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
- Minnesota Vikings
- Atlanta Falcons
- Buffalo Bills
- Carolina Panthers
- Dallas Cowboys
- Houston Texans
- Miami Dolphins
Packers 2026 Away Games:
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
- Minnesota Vikings
- Los Angeles Rams
- New England Patriots
- New Orleans Saints
- New York Jets
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
And this is the part most people miss - the potential for an international game! With the NFL's global reach expanding, it's an exciting prospect for any team, and especially for the Packers, who have a rich history and a passionate fan base that could benefit from an international showcase.
