GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Packers’ 2020 NFL regular-season schedule is highlighted by five prime-time contests (subject to flexible scheduling) on the original schedule for the seventh straight year.
The Packers will open the season at the Minnesota Vikings for the first time in team history, marking the third straight year that Green Bay will face a divisional foe in Week 1, which last happened in 1996-98 when the Packers were in the NFC Central. Since the NFL went to a divisional format in 1967, it marks the first time the Packers have played a road divisional game in the opener in back-to-back seasons.

The NFL and teams are preparing to play the 2020 season as scheduled and with increased protocols and safety measures for all players, personnel and attendees.
Teams will be prepared to make adjustments as necessary in order to conduct games in as safe and efficient a manner as possible, as has been demonstrated this offseason in connection with free agency, the virtual offseason program and the 2020 NFL Draft.
Decisions will be based on the latest advice of medical and public health officials, as well as in full compliance with current and future government regulations.
The primary focus will be on protecting the health of fans, players, club and league personnel, and their communities.
