Follow along with news and leaks about the Packers’ schedule for the upcoming season.

The NFL is almost ready to release its schedule for the 2025 season, having announced during the NFL Draft in Green Bay that it will reveal the full schedule on Wednesday, May 14th. That is just a few days away, and Green Bay Packers fans will finally be able to start making travel plans for the fall around that date.

Leading up to the full release, we at Acme Packing Company will be keeping a close eye on the rumors and possibilities in place for the Packers’ 2025 schedule. We already have some information and reporting on the Packers’ potential for making an international trip, while holidays will also be a key area of focus.

Currently, the Packers’ over/under win total for the 2025 season is 9.5, according to FanDuel, while they have the second-best odds of winning the NFC North (+280), behind the Detroit Lions (+110). We will keep an eye on how the schedule impacts those odds moving forward.

As a reminder, here is a link to the list of the Packers’ opponents for the 2025 season.

Then on Thursday, a report from friend of APC Arif Hasan suggests that the Minnesota Vikings will instead be the Steelers’ opponents in Dublin. Hasan posted on Bluesky that his sources suggest the Vikings will actually play back-to-back international games:

It is also notable that the Vikings would be the Browns’ opponent for the London game listed above. The Packers are also scheduled to play a road game against Cleveland, which was designated as the home team for one of the three NFL games in London in 2025. If the Packers are not the opponent for either the Steelers or Browns, there would be no other chances for them to play internationally as those are the only two teams on Green Bay’s schedule in 2025 who are the designated home teams for such games. The other host teams include the Chargers (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Colts (Berlin, Germany), Dolphins (Madrid, Spain),...
