Packers vs. Cardinals – Preseason Game August 28
On August 28, the Packers will play their only preseason home game on a Friday night. The Cardinals will come to Green Bay for the last preseason game of 2026.

Packers vs. Falcons – Home Opener on September 24
Green Bay will start the regular season on the road for two games. The team’s home opener will take place on Thursday, September 24. It’s a night game against the Atlanta Falcons. In 2025, the Falcons finished their season 8-9, in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC South. Atlanta will feature Michael Penix Jr. as their starter this season. In the 2026 draft, the Falcons picked a cornerback, a wide receiver, and a linebacker in their first three rounds. They are putting their faith in Penix for the foreseeable future.
Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on October 11
It’s one of the biggest games of the season for both the Packers and Bears. Chicago comes to Green Bay on October 11 for an afternoon game at Lambeau Field. Packers vs. Bears tickets for this specific game are some of the most sought-after tickets in the NFL. Bears fans are hyped up after their winning season in 2025 and the defeat of the Packers in the playoffs.
This game is sure to attract Bears fans who are more than willing to drive from Illinois to Wisconsin to see their team. As for Packers fans, it’s all about revenge. The Packers have had the Bears’ number for so many seasons, and this game might decide who rules the NFC North early in the season.
Packers vs. Cowboys – Sunday Night Football on October 18
The team will stay home for their next game, hosting the Dallas Cowboys for a Sunday Night Football game at Lambeau Field. Brian Schottenheimer coached the team through the 2025 season, going 7-9-1. Dak Prescott begins his eleventh season as quarterback of the Cowboys. Prescott is currently 1-3-1 againt the Packers overall. The 40-40 tie last season was a game for the ages. Both teams scored 24 points in the second half of the game, with each team managing just a field goal in overtime.
Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers – Thursday Night Football 2026
The Packers play their third October home game on October 29, against the Panthers. This is another Thursday Night Football event on the Packers’ schedule. For fans, Packers vs. Panthers tickets are some of the lowest-priced of all the home games.

Lock in your tickets now.
Packers vs. Vikings – NFC North Game – Noon Start at Lambeau Field
On November 15, the Packers will host the Vikings at noon. This will be the second meeting for both teams, as Green Bay will open the season at Minnesota. The Vikings surged late in the 2025 season, and the team hopes to start 2026 in the same fashion. If the Packers win the season opener at Minnesota, the Vikings will be very hungry to win this divisional matchup.
Buffalo Bills vs. Green Bay Packers – Sunday Night – December 13
To some football fans, the Bills are a franchise that is similar to Green Bay. Both teams are best in smaller markets. The Bills and Packers have a great history. Both teams have a fan base willing to travel far to attend a road game. Will Lambeau Field’s bleachers be dotted with blue and red, the Buffalo team’s colors? Most certainly. Can you still get Packers vs. Bills tickets? Of course.
Packers vs. Dolphins – Noon Kickoff – December 20
Green Bay fans might hope for chilly temperatures at kickoff. The Dolphins might not be prepared for what could feel like one of the coldest places to play in the NFL. Miami will be coming off a home game against the Bears when they come to Green Bay. Former defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will be leading the Dolphins as head coach, and he’ll surely be looking to notch a win against his former team.
Texans Come to Green Bay January 4 – Monday Night Football
The Packers play just one game on a Monday night, and that will be late in the season against the Houston Texans. By the time this game takes place, winter will have a firm grip on the city of Green Bay. Will the Texans be prepared for the “Frozen Tundra”, or will they snap in what could be brutal cold? See that game live when you grab some Packers vs. Texans tickets.
Lions Come to Green Bay January 10
It will be the last regular-season game for the Packers, and they will host the Detroit Lions on a Sunday. As of this time, kickoff has not been set. The game may even be moved to another day, should the NFL decide. Will it be a “win and you’re in” game for either team? Only time will tell.
