How to Watch the Green Bay Packers

Your broadcast guide for the 2026 Green Bay Packers season

Like a long-running TV show, the Green Bay Packers are back for another highly anticipated season of football. Head coach Matt LaFleur’s cast of players may look a bit different this year, but Jordan Love and company are locked in to bring a fifth Vince Lombardi Trophy back to Lambeau Field.

While FOX and CBS still carry the bulk of Green Bay’s Sunday games, the league is throwing another viewing curveball. This season, you’ll need a Netflix subscription for the holidays, as the Packers’ Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Day games stream exclusively on the platform.

Navigating how to watch the Packers requires more digital logins than it used to, but I’m here to make sure you don’t miss a single touchdown. Keep scrolling for a closer look at channel listings and streaming platforms. If you crave more Green and Gold coverage, I also outline which local stations make up the Packers TV Network.

What channels show Green Bay Packers games?

In 2026, you can watch the Green Bay Packers on CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix. Sunday afternoon games will air on CBS and FOX for in-market fans and stream on NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market viewers.

Games on CBS in your area will also stream on Paramount+, while all NBC matchups stream on Peacock Premium. You can also watch in-market and nationally televised games on your phone or tablet with NFL+.

Best TV plans for watching the Green Bay Packers

As a lifelong Wisconsinite, my favorite way to watch the Packers is with a trusty over-the-air antenna. But with games scattered across local channels, premium networks, and streaming platforms, building the perfect TV package takes a bit more strategy this season.

In previous years, I would recommend pairing YouTube TV with an Amazon Prime Video subscription as the ultimate TV plan. That still holds true today, but the NFL’s growing number of exclusive media deals means you must also add Netflix to the mix.

This fractured viewing landscape and its rising paywalls even prompted Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin to introduce the “For the Fans Act.” The legislative proposal aims to guarantee free viewing access for local fans and eliminate streaming blackouts. Regardless of how those broadcasting regulations evolve, here’s a breakdown of the TV services I currently recommend for Packers fans.

What channel is the Packers TV Network?

The Packers Television Network is a collection of local TV stations throughout the U.S. affiliated with the Green Bay Packers. All channels within the network show Packers preseason games, while most stations also broadcast Packers Family Night and other year-round cheesehead content.

Every major TV market in Wisconsin features a Packers Television Network affiliate, as do all neighboring states, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska. Talk about a tundra connection! If you live outside these markets, you can still watch Packers preseason games via NFL+.

The Packers Radio Network also exists for those who prefer listening to live games. As with TV, the team has radio affiliates in every primary market throughout Wisconsin. Additional radio affiliates are in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

The radio network airs live play-by-play coverage of every Packers game with the voice talents of Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren. Check out the Packers Radio Network Affiliates guide for an up-to-date list of in-network radio stations and their frequency numbers.

Watch the Packers with a free trial

Testing a live TV streaming service like DIRECTV or YouTube TV is a great way for Packers fans to catch live games before committing. These platforms offer temporary free trials, but keep in mind that local channel availability for CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC varies by region.

You can also leverage Prime Video’s generous 30-day free trial to stream Thursday Night Football. Just hop over to our Packers schedule guide to time your trial around a primetime appearance.
