Packers Coach Matt LaFleur Calls Schedule ‘Unique’
Four games will stream and five home games will be in prime time as the Packers face a late-season stretch that includes Christmas and Wednesday night.
On Thursday, May 14, the Green Bay Packers released their 2026 schedule featuring seven nationally televised games, including six night contests with five at Lambeau Field.
December and January feature four home games, the highest frequency of late-season home contests in over a decade, creating an unusually cold-weather-heavy schedule.
Streaming platforms will host four games exclusively, prompting Steve Schumer, a Packers FAN Hall of Fame member, to argue the arrangement alienates fans struggling economically.
Local business owners near Lambeau Field worry the cold-weather games will suppress revenue, with Tim Kuehn, Margarita's owner, noting frigid conditions discourage pre-game spending.
The schedule concludes with the Detroit Lions on January 9 or 10, marking the seventh time in 11 years the Packers finish against Detroit, and includes a Christmas Day game at Chicago.
