The Green Bay Packers' 2026 schedule does not contain consecutive division games, breaking a 24-year streak since the NFL adopted four-team divisions in 2002.
The NFC North games are spread across the season: Week 1 at Minnesota, Week 5 vs. Chicago, Week 7 at Detroit, Week 10 vs. Minnesota, Week 16 at Chicago, and Week 18 vs. Detroit. No two division games are played in consecutive weeks, and the most concentrated stretch is two division games in three weeks.
This scheduling pattern is unprecedented for the Packers in the current division format. Previously, the team had at least one set of back-to-back division games each season. On 10 occasions, multiple consecutive division game stretches occurred, including three years where both the first two and last two weeks featured division opponents, leaving only two division games in the intervening three months.
