The NFL is set to release the full 2026 schedule on Thursday, and the will be a team to keep an eye on. Green Bay will square off against the AFC East and NFC South this year, along with its usual six division games. Matt LaFleur's squad will also face the , , and . Schedule release is always a fun time in the NFL world, so let's try to predict the Packers' primetime games in 2026. Last year, Green Bay played under the lights five times, Predicting Packers' 2026 primetime games Packers at Bears The most historic rivalry in league history also happens to be one of the best right now. Green Bay and Chicago split the season series in 2025, but the got the best of the Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs, mounting an 18-point comeback in the second half and scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter to With both teams set to return as contenders in the NFC, it's a no-brainer for the NFL to schedule Green Garrett Williams Jersey Bay and Chicago for a primetime spot at some point this season, likely at Soldier Field in front of one of most loyal fanbases in American sports. Packers vs. Cowboys Another historic rival should also take center stage in primetime in 2026. The Cowboys and Packers played on Monday Night Football in Week 4 last season, and the game ended in a 40-40 tie. Both Jordan Love and Dak Prescott threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns.

The Packers and only play each other every four years, so the NFL should take advantage and put these two historic franchises in primetime. Jordan Love versus Drake Maye is an exciting matchup between two young star quarterbacks, and Romeo Doubs' return to Green Bay also adds some spice to this contest. Another added storyline in this game will be LaFleur versus Mike Vrabel. LaFleur was the offensive coordinator , which was the year before he was L.j. Collier Jersey
