The Green Bay Packers are always good. But the question entering the 2026 NFL season is: Can they make the leap to great? The Lions caught up to them a few years ago, the Bears passed them last year, and the Vikings are always lurking. After spending decades as the class of the NFC North, the Packers now find themselves in the odd position of being less than dominant. Can the Pack come back, or has the cheese finally turned moldy?
Here’s a look at Green Bay’s 2026 schedule, along with a deep dive into their offseason moves. Packers fans in the Milwaukee market can watch games on FOX, ESPN, and NFL Network by subscribing to Sling Essentials + Select using the link below.

2026 Green Bay Packers Season Outlook

The Green Bay Packers enter the 2026 season looking to overcome their recent playoff hurdles and recapture the NFC North under head coach Matt LaFleur. A year after swinging a blockbuster trade for superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to completely transform the defense, General Manager Brian Gutekunst also shipped edge rusher Rashan Gary to the Cowboys, traded Colby Wooden to the Colts for tackling machine linebacker Zaire Franklin, and signed veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to shore up the interior.
Because of the Parsons trade, the Packers were without a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They used their remaining capital to target defensive depth for the scheme of new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, selecting South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse in the second round and Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan in the third. Offensively, Green Bay is banking on quarterback Jordan Love continuing his elite trajectory alongside a returning Tucker Kraft and newly added receiver Skyy Moore. If the defense can quickly gel and Parsons returns to full form following his injury, the Packers have the top-end talent to push for a deep postseason run.
