The NFL announced on Wednesday that the Green Bay Packers’ Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens has been scheduled for Saturday, December 27th at 7 pm CT. Previously, the game was scheduled as “TBD,”
but now the game is officially the second part of a Saturday doubleheader with the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers playing at 3:30 pm CT on NFL Network.
Packers vs. Ravens will be played exclusively on the Peacock streaming service, outside of the local Packers footprint.
This should give Green Bay a little extra rest going into their season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, who will be playing on Christmas Day before their matchup. The Week 18 game’s kickoff time has yet to be announced, but it can be played on either January 3rd or 4th.
So, yes, with the Bears and Ravens games falling on a Saturday and Saturday being an option for the Vikings game, the Packers might end the season with three straight Saturday kickoffs. Welcome to the NFL in 2025.
Depending on how the playoffs shake out, last week’s win over the Bears could have been the last Sunday game at Lambeau Field this season. If you want to make it to the Packers’ regular-season home finale, you’re going to have to make plans for Saturday.
