How the NFL Scheduling Formula Works

The Green Bay Packers’ schedule is determined by a pre-set rotation that ensures competitive balance and a chance to play every team in the league. The 17-game slate is built using these criteria:

  1. Division Rivals (6 Games): Home and away against the Bears, Lions, and Vikings.
  2. Rotating NFC Division (4 Games): Facing an entire NFC division on a three-year cycle (South, West, East).
  3. Rotating AFC Division (4 Games): Facing an entire AFC division on a four-year cycle (North, East, South, West).
  4. Positional Seedings (2 Games): Matchups against teams from the other two NFC divisions that finished in the same rank as the Packers.
  5. The 17th Game (1 Game): A rotating inter-conference matchup against an AFC team that finished in the same rank as Green Bay.
