Green Bay Packers schedule 2025: Dates & times for all 17 games, strength of schedule and predictions
The Green Bay Packers, under coach Matt LaFleur, finished with an 11-6 record last season and qualified for the NFC playoffs, continuing their successful transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. However, they face tougher competition in the NFC North and a challenging schedule including the AFC North and NFC East in 2025. The Packers maintain a build-through-the-draft strategy, which will be tested as they compete against teams with strong playoff records. Key games include potential matchups against the Steelers and road challenges at Denver and Pittsburgh, where Love has previously struggled. The team's performance in NFC North games will be crucial for playoff contention, with predictions suggesting a 10-7 record and a return to the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

Dive Deeper:
The Packers, having transitioned from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, finished last season with an 11-6 record and made the NFC playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons under Matt LaFleur. Despite their success, the NFC North competition has become more challenging, with Green Bay finishing third in the division and struggling with a 1-5 record against divisional opponents.
Green Bay's 2025 schedule is particularly challenging, with games against the AFC North and NFC East, including nine games against teams that made the NFL playoffs in 2025. The Packers have a third-place schedule, facing the Panthers from the NFC South and the Cardinals from the NFC West, in addition to a crossover game against Denver.
The Packers have historically struggled against the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly in road games, where they have lost their past six road games against the Steelers. Jordan Love's previous performances against these teams included a 59.1% completion rate with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Home games against teams like the Eagles and Commanders are challenging, as these teams have strong records both at home and on the road. However, the Packers have a favorable record against the Ravens and a competitive series against the Bengals, with recent meetings being closely contested.
The team's success heavily depends on their performance in NFC North games, as they cannot afford another poor divisional record like last year's 1-5. The Lions and Vikings have had success against the Packers in recent seasons, and the addition of new Bears coach Ben Johnson presents further challenges.
Jordan Love, despite showing moments of brilliance, has been inconsistent and faced injuries over the past two seasons, impacting the team's overall performance. The Packers' ability to dominate at Lambeau Field will be crucial in re-establishing their home-field advantage and ensuring playoff contention.
With a projected win total of 9.5, the Packers are expected to finish with a 10-7 record, benefiting from their draft strategy and previous playoff experience. Their success will hinge on performing well in high-profile games and overcoming the tougher schedule, potentially leading to a third consecutive playoff appearance.
The Green Bay Packers finished 11-6 last season and made the NFC playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons under Matt LaFleur.
The transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love has been a successful one the past two seasons, but the NFC North competition caught up. Green Bay finished third in the NFC North and 1-5 against division opponents last year — and the schedule will increase in difficulty with the AFC North and NFC East on the docket.
The Packers still have a build-through-the-draft formula that works, but that will be tested this season. There also is a chance that Love and Rodgers will meet head-to-head for the first time if the latter signs with the Steelers. How will Green Bay fare against that tough schedule?
Here is a complete breakdown of the Packers' 2025 schedule, including dates, start times, and analysis for all 17 games.

The Packers have the 10th-hardest regular-season schedule based on opponents' records from last season, and yet it is the easiest among the NFC North teams.Green Bay has nine games against teams that made the NFL playoffs in 2025, and five of those games are at home. The Packers have a third-place schedule, which means they will play the Panthers from the NFC South and Cardinals from the NFC West. Denver is the crossover game that will be the 17th game of the season.
Toughest tests: The AFC schedule is not easy, especially with the road games at Denver and Pittsburgh. Green Bay is 1-8 all time at Denver, and the Packers have lost their past six road games against the Steelers. Love started against both teams on the road in 2023, going 42 of 71 (59.1%) for an average of 234.5 yards with four TDs and three interceptions.
Biggest breaks: The Eagles and Commanders are tough games, but those teams were 19-3 at home and 13-6 on the road. At least they’re coming to Lambeau Field. Baltimore and Cincinnati were 12-7 on the road last season. The Packers have won three of the past four meetings against the Ravens, and they have a bizarre back-and-forth series with the Bengals where the past six meetings have been decided by a TD or less. Remember that last meeting? The kickers do.
The Packers have won 10 of the past 11 meetings with the Cowboys, and this will be their first meeting since Love torched the Cowboys in a 48-32 victory in the NFC wild-card round on Jan. 14, 2024. Green Bay is 11-6 at home the past two seasons. Will they re-establish that dominance at Lambeau Field with Love?
Packers record prediction
- Over/under win total: 9.5 (per BetMGM)
Ultimately, it comes down to the NFC North games. Green Bay cannot afford to go 1-5 (and it would have been 0-6 if not for a blocked field goal) against the division competition again — not against a tougher schedule. The Lions are 6-2 against the Packers under Dan Campbell, and the Vikings are 4-2 against Green Bay under Kevin O’Connell. Will new Bears coach Ben Johnson follow that trend?
That will be the pressure point for LaFleur and Love heading into their third season together. That win total is right on the number, but we'll give Green Bay the benefit of the doubt. The Packers get back to the playoffs for a third straight season.
Record prediction: 10-7
