GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – International NFL games have had a bit of a polarizing fan reaction, and this year, for better or worse, the Green Bay Packers will not be playing overseas.
Ahead of the set release time for the NFL’s full 2026 regular season schedule, the league announced all of the matchups for its international games, which include matchups in Australia, Spain, Germany, France, and more.

The Packers have not fared well in overseas games, losing their first-ever international game 27-22 to the New York Giants in London during the 2022 season, and losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-29 in Sao Paulo during week one of the 2024 season.
The international games also have not been kind to the Packers starting quarterbacks, as Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken right thumb on the final play against the Giants and Jordan Love suffered an MCL sprain in the late stages of the 4th quarters versus the Eagles.
This year, the Green and Gold will once again avoid playing overseas as the NFL’s 2026 international schedule is as follows:
- San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams

- Week 1 – September 10 – 7:35 p.m.
