GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The Green Bay Packers announced Tuesday the schedule for the 2021 Packers Training Camp.

The following information was released in a statement from the Packers:

As in the past, practices are scheduled to take place at Ray Nitschke Field and Packers Family Night will be at Lambeau Field. All practices that are open to the public will take place at 10:10 a.m.

With a theme of “Back to Football,” training camp kicks off with a practice on Wednesday, July 28. It will be the first of four straight practices as part of the opening week (July 28-31).

The Packers will open the second week with three open practices (Aug. 2-3, 5), before Family Night takes place at Lambeau Field on Saturday, Aug. 7. Green Bay will have three open practices (Aug. 10-12) before the first preseason game on Aug. 14 against the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay will finish off the open sessions of training camp with two joint practices (Aug. 18-19) with the New York Jets, before facing the Jets at Lambeau Field on Aug. 21.

The Packers go on the road for the third and final preseason game at the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 28.

Should inclement weather or any other factor force the team indoors, the Packers say practices will be closed to the public due to space limitations inside the Don Hutson Center. Fans should also note that all practice dates and times are subject to change.

The annual Packers Family Night is scheduled for Saturday evening, Aug. 7, at Lambeau Field. The format will be a full practice to accomplish the team’s preparation goals for the regular season.

The doors for the event will open at 5:20 p.m. and the team will be introduced on the field at 7:20 p.m. with practice starting at 7:30 p.m.
