Packers announce 2024 schedule (2024)

The Green Bay Packers' 2024 NFL schedule will feature 17 regular-season games and three preseason games. It is highlighted by five prime-time contests (subject to flexible scheduling) on the original schedule for the 11th straight year (2014-24). Of the 14 opponents on the schedule, 10 of those teams finished with a record above .500 last season.

The Packers will open the season in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the sixth straight year and the 10th time in the last 12 seasons that Green Bay has started the season as the road team. Green Bay is the only team in the NFL to open the season as the road team each of the last six years (2019-24). It is the first time over that span that it will be against a team outside the NFC North.

Week 2 sees Green Bay facing the Indianapolis Colts in the home opener, marking the first time the Packers will face an AFC team in the home opener since 2014 against the New York Jets. Green Bay goes back on the road in Week 3 as it travels to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans.

The first NFC North opponent the Packers face will be the Minnesota Vikings at home in Week 4. Green Bay then faces a pair of NFC West teams in Weeks 5-6. First, the Packers go to Los Angeles to play the Rams before welcoming the Arizona Cardinals to Lambeau Field. Green Bay will take on a couple AFC teams after that with a home game against the Houston Texans in Week 7 and a road trip to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8.

A home game against the Detroit Lions in Week 9 will precede the bye week, which comes in Week 10 for the first time since 2012. It marks the fourth time in six seasons under Head Coach Matt LaFleur that the Packers' bye has been Week 10 or later. The Packers stay in the division for a matchup at the Chicago Bears in Week 11 before the San Francisco 49ers come to Lambeau in Week 12.

Week 13 will be a short week for the Packers as they will play at home against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night. It is the second straight year that Green Bay has played on Thanksgiving but only the second time at home on the holiday since 1923 (Chicago, 2015). It starts a run of four consecutive prime-time games, which would be the first time the Packers have played four straight prime-time games in a single season since the merger (Elias Sports Bureau).

The Packers start December with three prime-time matchups. Green Bay plays again on Thursday night in Week 14 at Detroit and then goes west to face the Seattle Seahawks on a Sunday night in Week 15. For the 32nd straight season (1993-2024), Green Bay will play on Monday Night Football as it hosts the New Orleans Saints in Week 16.

For the fourth straight season and the fifth time in the last six years, the Packers will finish the regular season with back-to-back NFC North contests. For the second consecutive season they will travel a state over to take on the Vikings in Week 17 and then return home to face the Bears in the season finale on a date and time to be determined.

This year will be the first time that nine regular-season games will be played at Lambeau Field. As previously announced, the Gold package will receive the ninth regular-season game this year, the first year the ninth game will be hosted at Lambeau Field. Green package season ticket holders will receive their typical allotment of regular-season games (six) and will also receive this year's preseason contest. The next time Lambeau Field hosts the ninth regular-season game, the Green package will receive that game and the Gold package will receive the preseason contest.

With the three-game preseason schedule implemented in 2021, the Packers will alternate between hosting one and two preseason games each year. This year, the Packers will start with two road games, first at the Cleveland Browns and then at the Denver Broncos. The Baltimore Ravens will come to Lambeau Field to close out the preseason. The matchup with the Ravens is designated as the Packers Give Back Game, with a benefiting charity to be highlighted through the game and surrounding activities. More information about the nonprofit organization chosen for this year's Packers Give Back Game will be announced soon.
