Week 1

at Chicago Bears

When: Sunday, Sept. 13, noon

Last year: 5-11, fourth place NFC North

All-time series: Packers trail 88-92-6 in the regular season (1-1 in playoffs)

Last meeting at Soldier Field: Packers won 38-17 on Sept. 28.

Lowdown: The Packers have won five straight games at Soldier Field dating to the 2011 NFC championship game, and only once was the score within a touchdown.

Week 2

vs. Seattle Seahawks

When: Sunday, Sept. 20, 7:30 p.m.

Last year: 12-4, first place NFC West

All-time series: Packers lead 10-8 in the regular season (2-1 playoffs)

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 48-10 on Dec. 27, 2009.

Lowdown: After a couple heartbreaks at Seattle in recent years — the Fail Mary, last season's NFC title game collapse — the Packers finally get the Seahawks in their own building.

Week 3

vs. Kansas City Chiefs

When: Monday, Sept. 28, 7:30 p.m.

Last year: 9-7, tied second place AFC West

All-time series: Packers trail 3-7-1 in regular season (1-0 playoffs)

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers lost 40-34 on Oct. 12, 2003.

Lowdown: A scheduling conflict prevented the Packers and Chiefs from meeting in the preseason finale for the first time since 2010, but these two familiar foes will get a crack at each other in the regular season.

Week 4

at San Francisco 49ers

When: Sunday, Oct. 4, 3:25 p.m.

Last year: 8-8, third place NFC West

All-time series: Packers lead 20-15 in the regular season (4-3 playoffs)

Last meeting at Levi's Stadium: It will be the Packers' first trip to Levi Stadium, which opened in 2014. Green Bay lost 34-28 in their last trip to San Francisco on Sept. 8, 2013.

Lowdown: From a new stadium to a new coaching staff and roster turnover, it will be a much different 49ers team than the last time the Packers traveled to San Francisco to kick off the 2013 season.

Week 5

vs. St. Louis Rams

When: Sunday, Oct. 11, noon

Last year: 6-10, fourth place NFC West

vs. San Diego Chargers

When: Sunday, Oct. 18, 3:25 p.m.

Last year: 9-7, tied second place in AFC West

All-time series: Green Bay leads 9-1 in the regular season

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 31-24 on Sept. 23, 2007.

Week 7

BYE

Week 8

at Denver Broncos

When: Sunday, Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m.

Week 9

at Carolina Panthers

When: Sunday, Nov. 8, noon

Last year: 7-8-1, first place NFC South

All-time series: Packers lead 9-4 in the regular season (1-0 playoffs)

Last meeting at Bank of America Stadium: Packers won 30-23 on Sept. 18, 2011.

Lowdown: The Packers had no problem dismantling the Panthers at home last year, but Carolina could be a tougher test on the road this season.

Week 10

vs. Detroit Lions

When: Sunday, Nov. 15, noon

Last year: 11-5, second place NFC North

All-time series: Packers lead 57-39-4 in the regular season (2-0 in playoffs)

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 30-20 on Dec. 28 in what was the de facto NFC North title game.

Last year: 7-9, third place NFC North

All-time series: Packers lead 49-48-2 in the regular season (1-1 playoffs)

Week 12

vs. Chicago Bears

When: Thursday, Nov. 26, 7:30 p.m.

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 55-14 on Nov. 9 in what was one of the most lopsided games in the rivalry's history.

Lowdown: Aaron Rodgers threw a career-high six touchdown passes in the first half, almost tying a single-game NFL record in only 30 minutes.

Week 13

at Detroit Lions

When: Thursday, Dec. 3, 7:25 p.m.

Last meeting at Ford Field: Lions won 19-7 on Sept. 21.

When: Sunday, Dec. 13, 3:25 p.m.

Last year: 12-4, first place NFC East

All-time series: Packers trail 13-16 in the regular season (4-3 playoffs)

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 26-21 in the NFC divisional round playoff game Jan. 11.

Week 15

at Oakland Raiders

When: Sunday, Dec. 20, 3:05 p.m.

Last year: 3-13, fourth place AFC West

Week 16

at Arizona Cardinals

When: Sunday, Dec. 27, 3:25 p.m.

Last year: 11-5, second place NFC West

All-time series: Packers lead 12-4-1 in the regular season (1-1 playoffs)

Last meeting at University of Phoenix Stadium: Packers lost 51-45 in overtime of the NFC wildcard game Jan. 10, 2010.

Lowdown: Packers fans will easily remember Green Bay's last trip to Arizona, the overtime playoff loss that ended the 2009 season.

Week 17

vs. Minnesota Vikings

When: Sunday, Jan. 3, noon

Last meeting at Lambeau Field: Packers won 42-10 on Oct. 2.
