GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The NFL released the full 2026 regular-season schedule Thursday night, officially setting the Green Bay Packers’ 17-game slate for the upcoming season.
The Packers will open the season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings before returning to Lambeau Field for their home opener on Thursday, September 24th against the Falcons. Green Bay’s schedule also includes multiple primetime matchups, holiday games and several nationally televised appearances.
Among the highlights on the schedule is a Thanksgiving week road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams and a Christmas Day game against the Chicago Bears.
