While there’s a lot we still don’t know about the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 schedule, here are five things we do know.
1. Tough sledding
Based on 2024 winning percentage, Green Bay has the NFL’s sixth-toughest schedule as its opponents had a combined winning percentage of .557 in 2024. Seven of the Packers’ 14 opponents (they’ll play each NFC North team twice) made the playoffs last year. Detroit (15-2), Philadelphia (14-3), Washington (12-5) and Baltimore (12-5) all reached their conference’s divisional round.
2. Home sweet home
The Packers will host Detroit in Week 1, marking the first time since 2018 Green Bay will play at home in Week 1.
Amazingly, Packers seventh-year head coach Matt LaFleur has never had a Week 1 home game.
Detroit has won back-to-back NFC North titles and was the No. 1 seed in the conference last year after going 15-2 in the regular season. The Lions lost their playoff opener to Washington, though, 45-31.
3. Quarterback bonanza
If you like good quarterbacking play — and who doesn’t — this is the schedule for you. Green Bay will face perennial MVP candidates in Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow — both at Lambeau Field. Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts and Washington’s Jayden Daniels will also make stops in Green Bay, while Detroit’s Jared Goff and Dak Prescott of Dallas add to the stellar list of quarterbacks the Packers must deal with.
4. Revenge is served best — at Lambeau
The Packers will host defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia on Nov. 10 on Monday Night Football. The Eagles beat Green Bay twice last season, including a 22-10 win in the wild card round. This game could go a long way toward determining playoff seeding in the NFC.
5. No place like … Chicago?
The Packers will travel to Chicago on Dec. 20 and play at either 3:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. Green Bay defeated the Bears, 20-19, in 2024 when Karl Brooks blocked a field goal on the final play of the game. The Packers have now won six straight games at Chicago and 15 of 16 overall in the Windy City. The matchup between coaches Matt La Fleur and Ben Johnson will be fun.
6. No international games
The NFL has announced their seven international games and we know the Packers won’t be leaving the country. That should be good news for Matt LaFleur & Co. based on past performances. In 2022, Green Bay lost to the New York Giants, 27-22, in London, then came home and lost the following week to the New York Jets. Last season, Philadelphia defeated the Packers, 34-29, in Week 1 in São Paulo, Brazil.
