We know that Green Bay will play nine home and eight road games in 2026, and their opponents were also revealed a few months ago. However, we have no clue when these contests will fall yet, and how many primetime matchups the Packers will have.
Though the Packers’ 2026 schedule won’t be fully unveiled until Thursday, some information regarding the slate did come out on Wednesday, which is a fantastic development for Matt LaFleur’s squad.

Green Bay will travel just 12,673 miles in 2026, which ranks fifth-lowest in the NFL. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12,185), Chicago Bears (10,676), Cleveland Browns (9,073), and Carolina Panthers (8,740) are the only squads that will travel less than the Packers.
The Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints are the two furthest road trips for Green Bay this season. Here is the full list of road opponents for the Packers in 2026.
Last season, the Packers traveled even less at 11,466 miles, so this certain stat has played heavily in Green Bay’s favor over the last few years.
