This year, the Packers will open the preseason at the Cincinnati Bengals and then host two games, first against the New England Patriots and then versus the Seattle Seahawks to finish the preseason. With the three-game preseason schedule implemented in 2021, the Packers will alternate between hosting one and two preseason games each year. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the two Thursday games against Detroit mark just the second time that two teams have squared off multiple times on a Thursday in the same season (1926 Chicago Bears/Chicago Cardinals). It is the first time Green Bay has played on the holiday since they hosted the Bears in 2015 and the first time at Detroit since 2013. Week 12 will be another short week for the Packers as they will play at the Lions on Thanksgiving.

Green Bay is the only team in the NFL to open the season on the road each of the last five years (2019-23). The Packers will open the season at the Chicago Bears, marking the fifth straight year and the ninth time in the last 11 seasons that Green Bay has started the season on the road. It is highlighted by five prime-time contests (subject to flexible scheduling) on the original schedule for the 10th straight year (2014-23).
