The Green Bay Packers open up against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 11 and then they will travel to Minnesota to play the Vikings in the first regular season contest in U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 18. It will be NBC’s Sunday Night Football game, with kickoff slated for 7:30 p.m. CT.
The season starts with two away games — the last time that happened was in 1924 — and marks the fourth year in a row the team opens the season on the road — the first time that’s happened ever. The Packers also have a four-game home stand, which they haven’t had since 1963.
The Packers will get the Chicago Bears at home on Oct. 20 for a Thursday night game on CBS. They close out the season with three division games, with the only home game in that stretch falling on Christmas Eve against the Vikings.
