It\u2019s just about time to bang the drum all day. The return of Green Bay Packers football fills bleachers and inspires grown adults to leap into strangers\u2019 hugs. This year\u2019s group has a talented young quarterback in Jordan Love, a bruising playmaker in Josh Jacobs and a defense full of high-upside flyers \u2014 plus the new arrival of star pass rusher Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n
The Packers have at least four appearances in prime time, and their games should make for worthwhile watches, especially in the competitive NFC North.<\/p>\n
Actually finding and accessing Packers games is more cumbersome than ever, though. In addition to the usual channel rotation of CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC\/ESPN and NFL Network, this season\u2019s streaming rights also extend to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock and YouTube. It can get exhausting (and annoying) to keep up with all these changes, so we\u2019ve compiled a league-wide overview of how the current broadcast carousel works. All of the info below is formatted specifically for Green Bay\u2019s 2025 schedule (pre-flexes, which start as early as Week 5 this year).<\/p>\n
Make sure you\u2019re also following the NFL on The Athletic,\u00a0<\/em>as well as thorough Packers beat reporter Matt Schneidman.<\/p>\n All times listed below are ET.<\/em><\/p>\n The first thing we\u2019ll need to watch all the regular-season games is a television package. Here are the most popular options, contingent on local availability, with pricing as of September 2025:<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$85-100. Depending on the carrier, this will cover all NFL action except for out-of-market games, \u201cThursday Night Football\u201d on Prime and the Christmas slate on Netflix.<\/p>\n Our dueling homes for the busiest part of the weekly schedule. A majority of Packers games will fall into the Sunday afternoon bulk, kicking off at either 1 or 4-4:30 p.m. Typically (though not always), the East Coast home teams play at 1, while those farther west take that later spot.<\/p>\n For the most part, CBS has the AFC home games and Fox has the NFC ones. That\u2019s not absolute, though (blame the networks\u2019 \u201ccross flex,\u201d which redistributes games in the name of broadcast parity). In general, these over-the-air channels show games pertinent to the region. When there\u2019s no local team to prioritize, they\u2019ll show a game of national intrigue. Fox specifically brands this second afternoon window as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Game of the Week,\u201d and the Packers are often featured.<\/p>\n Both networks have broadcast teams to spread around the league on Sundays. Here\u2019s a refresher on those lead crews:<\/p>\n CBS \u2014 \u201cHello Friends\u201d Team<\/em><\/p>\n Jim Nantz and Tony Romo\u00a0\/ Tracy Wolfson sideline Fox \u2014 \u201cDancing Robots\u201d Team<\/em><\/p>\n Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady \/ Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi sideline What you\u2019ll need to watch:<\/strong>One of the aforementioned cable or streaming packages, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access. Local CBS games can also be streamed on Paramount+ (starting at $7.99\/month). Local Fox games can also be streamed on Fox One (starting at $19.99\/month).<\/p>\n All of you out-of-market Packers fans will need NFL Sunday Ticket to unlock the Sunday game listed above. For an extra fee, you can get NFL RedZone, the frenetic live whip-around anchored by Scott Hanson. That man is peerless in his love for American football.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>YouTube is the current digital home provider of NFL Sunday Ticket (DirecTV carries it for businesses). New Sunday Ticket users can subscribe for $276\/year, which comes out to $23\/month. Returning users with YouTube TV are charged $378, or $31.50\/month, and those without YouTube TV pay $480 ($40\/month). These are the prices without<\/em> RedZone.<\/p>\n Additionally, the league\u2019s NFL+ Premium app has standalone RedZone access for 12 installments of $14.99. Full out-of-market games can\u2019t be streamed live here, though, making it a better option for fantasy players rather than dedicated team loyalists.<\/p>\n The Athletic<\/em>\u2019s Andrew Marchand reported that ESPN recently sold 10 percent of its equity to the NFL in exchange for league media assets (NFL Network, cable RedZone rights and fantasy football games). Now, the new ESPN Unlimited direct-to-consumer (DTC) service is offering a bundle with NFL+ Premium for $39.99\/month.<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$23-40<\/p>\n Sundays always end with \u201cSunday Night Football,\u201d featuring Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the booth. Tirico is the successor to longtime SNF voice Al Michaels. Collinsworth, well \u2026 \u201chere\u2019s a guy\u201d who gets really excited about nickel corners and pass-blocking running backs. Melissa Stark is NBC\u2019s Sunday night sideline reporter.<\/p>\n As we get into the later weeks, NBC will flex into matchups with greater playoff implications. The same goes for ABC\/ESPN (Mondays) and Prime Video (Thursdays). Network flexing is a contentious issue, though. Putting a more compelling game on national TV rewards viewers at home, but sudden schedule changes obviously hurt traveling fans. For SNF in Weeks 5-13, a flex must be announced at least 12 days before the game. That window halves to a six-day warning in Weeks 14-17.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>A TV package, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access, or a Peacock account (sports subscription with ads starts at $10.99 per month).<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you\u2019ll find end-of-week pageantry with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and the inescapable\u00a0theme music.\u00a0Industry vet Lisa Salters dispatches from the sideline, along with Laura Rutledge. When there are multiple Monday night listings, Chris Fowler does play-by-play on the doubleheader\u2019s other game, with former safety Louis Riddick and former quarterback Dan Orlovsky on color commentary. Katie George and Peter Schrager cover the sidelines with that group. The MNF crew for ESPN Deportes includes play-by-play woman Rebeca Landa and analyst Sebastian Martinez-Christensen, with sideline reports from MJ Acosta-Ruiz and the incomparable\u00a0John Sutcliffe.<\/p>\n There will usually be a simulcast on ESPN2 anchored by Peyton and Eli Manning.\u00a0 The \u201cManningCast\u201d is where Green Bay Gumby tried to drink through his felt eyeball. Maybe we\u2019ll get a sequel when the Super Bowl-winning brothers watch Green Bay\u2019s MNF game this season.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch:<\/strong>A TV package, or a broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access to ABC. ABC and ESPN are also available with the new ESPN DTC service ($29.99 per month).<\/p>\n This marks year No. 4 of TNF on Amazon. Al Michaels does play-by-play, and he\u2019s joined by Kirk Herbstreit (\u201cCollege GameDay\u201d staple and Golden Retriever enthusiast). Kaylee Hartung handles the sideline reporting. Thursday games are on the Prime Video app for national audiences, and broadcasts are free over the air in the two teams\u2019 home markets. Alternatively, TNF can be streamed on Twitch or with an NFL+ subscription (mobile only, however).<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s ill-fated first TNF flex did not lead to new safeguards; rather, the league reduced the notice window from 28 days down to 21. Again, those flexes favor folks at home who want exciting and relevant late-season viewing, but it brings chaos to ticket holders and the participating teams themselves.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch: <\/strong>Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month, NFL+ ($6.99\/month) or a registered Twitch account.<\/p>\n Average monthly cost: <\/strong>$0-15<\/p>\n The annual Thanksgiving games are on three different networks \u2014 Fox, CBS and NBC \u2014 because of course they are. Green Bay plays Detroit to open the holiday slate this year. That game is on Fox and will probably get the network\u2019s A-team of Burkhardt and Brady.<\/p>\n What you\u2019ll need to watch:\u00a0<\/strong>A TV package with Fox, over-the-air access or a Fox One subscription.<\/p>\n The unknowns are dropped at the bottom of the schedule in Weeks 16-18, and the Packers have more of them than most teams. All of the Week 18 games are flex-eligible around Saturday and Sunday spots, and that final week\u2019s slate isn\u2019t finalized until Week 17 is in the books.<\/p>\n Besides the season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay also has a \u201cTBD\u201d time slot for Week 16 against the Chicago Bears and Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. That at least shows respect for the team\u2019s late-season relevancy and its ability to draw viewership. We know that the Week 16 game at the Bears will be played on Saturday (Dec. 20) and will air on Fox. A potential nighttime kickoff in Chicago is not for football\u2019s faint of heart.<\/p>\n And there we have it. That\u2019s where the schedule stands, at least until flexing begins. Here are some electric Sterling Sharpe highlights to reward your patience:<\/p>\n \u201cHow is he not in the Hall of Fame?\u201d<\/p>\n He is now. pic.twitter.com\/eDA8KNjNMt<\/p>\n \u2014 Green Bay Packers (@packers) February 7, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Streaming links in this article are provided by partners of <\/i>The Athletic.
