They’ll open at the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, and will close the year at home against the Detroit Lions. Here is the Packers’ full regular-season slate, and how we think they’ll do in 2026. Week 1: Sept. 13 at Minnesota VikingsWeek 2: Sept. 20 at New York JetsWeek 3: Sept. 24 (Thursday) vs. Atlanta FalconsWeek 4: Oct. 4 at Tampa Bay BuccaneersWeek 5: Oct. 11 vs. Chicago BearsWeek 6: Oct. 18 vs. Dallas CowboysWeek 7: Oct. 25 at Detroit LionsWeek 8: Oct. 29 (Thursday) vs. Carolina PanthersWeek 9: Nov. 8 at New England PatriotsWeek 10: Nov. 15 vs. Minnesota VikingsWeek 11: BYEWeek 12: Nov. 25 (Wednesday) at Los Angeles RamsWeek 13: Dec. 6 at New Orleans SaintsWeek 14: Dec. 13 vs. Buffalo BillsWeek 15: Dec. 20 vs. Miami DolphinsWeek 16: Dec. 25 at Chicago Bears (Christmas)Week 17: Jan. 4 (Monday) vs. Houston TexansWeek 18: TBD vs. Detroit Lions Our Ben Arthur is bullish on the Packers entering the 2026 season, believing they’ll go 10-7. However, he thinks there are a few caveats that must go their way in order for them to reach that mark. “The Green Bay Packers’ path to being one of the NFC’s top contenders is filled with ‘ifs.’ If Micah Parsons is healthy. If Tucker Kraft is healthy. If 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden steps up at receiver, filling the void left by Romeo Doubs’ departure,” Arthur wrote. “This should be a double-digit win season for Green Bay.” The Packers’ projected win total for the 2026 season currently sits at 9.5 wins at FanDuel Sportsbook. Their odds to win the Super Bowl sit at +2000, while their odds to make the playoffs are -132. The Packers weren’t too active in adding players this offseason. In fact, they even gave away a few veterans. They traded the likes of edge rusher Rashan Gary and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. They also lost wide receiver Romeo Doubs, linebacker Quay Walker, quarterback Malik Willis, running back Emanuel Wilson and offensive tackle Rasheed Walker. In terms of additions, the Packers were able to get linebacker Zaire Franklin in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts and signed defensive lineman Javon Hargrave. While they didn’t have their first-round pick due to the Micah Parsons trade, the Packers were able to add in the draft. Green Bay took South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse and Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan on Day 2. Following the draft, our Ralph Vacchiano placed the Packers at No. 16 in his power rankings. “The Packers said they needed a corner and a nose tackle, and they got both with their picks in Rounds 2 and 3. But CB Brandon Cisse and DT Chris McClellan might be more about depth than immediate impact,” Vacchiano wrote of Green Bay. Green Bay’s draft haul, meanwhile, earned a C+ grade from our draft analyst, Rob Rang. “I thought Green Bay could’ve boosted its depth at offensive tackle and running back in this class, so this grade is tempered, but I liked the gamble on traits with sixth-round cornerback Domani Jackson and I think that McClellan, in particular, is going to ultimately outplay his selection as a mid-Round 3 pick,” Rang wrote.
