Preseason Results from the 2026 Green Bay Packers Schedule
Green Bay finished the preseason 2-1.

How the 2026 Green Bay Packers Schedule Unfolds
The Packers open on the road against the Minnesota Vikings.
They then travel to the New York Jets before hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football. Road games at Tampa Bay and Detroit bookend home dates against the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys.
A second Thursday night home game against Carolina follows. Next comes a trip to New England and a home rematch with Minnesota.
The bye arrives on November 22. After the break, Green Bay plays a rare Wednesday night game at the Los Angeles Rams on Netflix, then visits New Orleans.
Home dates against Buffalo and Miami sit in mid-December. A Christmas Day road game at Chicago comes next, followed by a Monday night home contest against the Houston Texans.
The season closes with a home finale against the Detroit Lions (still TBA and possibly flexed to Saturday).
Games That Stand Out on the Packers Schedule 2026
Several dates already stand out.
The Thursday night home opener against Atlanta and the midseason Thursday night date with Carolina are clear primetime highlights. The two meetings with Minnesota, the two against Chicago, and the two against Detroit will heavily influence the NFC North race.
The Wednesday night Netflix game at the Rams, the Christmas Day road contest at Chicago, the Sunday night home date with Buffalo, and the Monday night home game against Houston also land in high-visibility windows.
How to Watch Packers Games
Most Sunday afternoon games air on FOX or CBS.
Primetime and special-window slots include Prime Video, NBC/Peacock, ESPN, Netflix, and NFL Network for preseason. The final contest remains TBA.
