Rain and Thunderstorms Expected for Packers vs Steelers Preseason Game
The preseason NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers is set to take place at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA, on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET. While the forecast predicts rain and thunderstorms earlier in the day, conditions are expected to improve by kickoff. However, the natural-grass field may still be affected, potentially leading to poor footing for players. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur plans to play his starters for a limited time, while Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy is likely to focus on giving live reps to younger players, including quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar. This matchup marks McCarthy's first preseason game against his former team, the Packers.
