Green Bay Packers schedule: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2026 season
Nick BrinkerhoffSmall town with big dreams.
The Green Bay Packers don't have the deep-pocketed owner, a luxurious stadium that cost billions or the ability to spend at will. However, they do have a unique history and run of success, something that money can't buy. It takes smart decision-making – and a decent amount of luck – but it works for the Packers.
A franchise for the fans owned by the fans, the Packers are once again looking to make a Super Bowl run in 2026. It has been a challenging path for the team after Aaron Rodgers' unceremonious departure ahead of the 2023 season. Green Bay hasn't been able to overcome the weight of great expectations, routinely falling short when it matters most.

A little help from the schedule makers could go a long way though, especially as Parsons continues his recovery from a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season.
The Packers are almost ready to reopen Lambeau Field for business as the 2026 kickoff nears. Here's what to know about the Green Bay's schedule in 2026, including dates, times, matchups and more.

Packers record prediction 2026
Record prediction: 10-7
The Packers are remarkably consistent in the Love era. They have finished with a record of 9-8, 11-6 and 9-7-1 in three seasons with Love as the full-time starter, meaning they just need a 10-win year to cap it off.
Green Bay should be a Super Bowl contender, but can't seem to get over the hump. The expectation is that they'll lose a headscratcher or two, while playing some close games along the way. Without a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Packers were unable to add any additional playmakers on offense to offset the losses of Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs.
Free agency wasn't much better, but Green Bay is still a solid team across the board. With a schedule that profiles as middle of the road on paper, the Packers will stack some wins.
It's enough to be a playoff team, but they might run into trouble against a difficult NFC North and that's why they'll fail to win the division once again.
