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.

Packers’ 2025 opponents

As a reminder, here is a link to the list of the Packers’ opponents for the 2025 season. The NFC North division will play against the NFC East and AFC North in the upcoming season, while the Packers have additional games against the Carolina Panthers (at home), Arizona Cardinals (road), and Denver Broncos (road) as well.

FOX announced on Monday that the Packers will be part of their NFC doubleheader on Saturday of Week 16. Conveniently, this is also the week before the league’s Christmas games the following Thursday. Furthermore, the NFC North and NFC East divisions play one another this season, so the Packers and Bears will each to play the Eagles and Commanders at some point.

One would think that the NFL would be willing to give the teams that were set to play a late-season Thursday game a little more rest, like a Saturday game the week before, which is exactly what they did a year ago. Now that now that the Packers’ game against the Eagles is confirmed for earlier in the season, the logical choice would be to schedule Commanders-Packers and Bears-Eagles for Christmas Day.

Here’s a wrinkle, however: Bears-Eagles was announced for Black Friday instead. Therefore, the Eagles will not be playing either the Packers or Bears on Christmas Day, which throws this whole assumption into question. Stay tuned, but know that Commanders-Packers still looks like a strong possibility. Don’t shoot the messenger here. We don’t like it any more than you do.
