Door still open to Packers playing international game during 2026 season
Packers president Ed Policy said the team could still play a road international game against the Lions in Germany or Saints in Paris in 2026.
The door is still open to the Green Bay Packers playing an international game as one of the team's eight road games during the 2026 regular season. President Ed Policy said the Packers are still an option as an opponent for the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, or the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic . Playing the Lions in Germany would cancel out a divisional road trip to Ford Field during the regular season.
The Saints are on the schedule as one of the Packers' eight road opponents in 2026. The two games will be finalized when the NFL's regular season schedule for 2026 is set. Last year, the league did not announce the schedule until mid-May.
Neither contest -- in Munich or Paris -- would count as a home game, so the Packers will play all nine scheduled home games at Lambeau Field this season. The Packers did not play an international game during the 2025 season after facing the New York Giants in London in 2022 and opening the 2024 season against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Green Bay lost both games.
