The Packers and Bears are back on the schedule in Week 5, and the first meeting of the season lands at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
Green Bay gets the home stage this time, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct.
- Chicago comes in trying to stack a third straight win, while the Packers are looking for a statement result in front of their own crowd.
Both teams have had uneven starts. The Bears are without quarterback Caleb Williams for the time being, and Green Bay is still searching for a full four-quarter performance. That sets up another chapter in a rivalry that always carries extra heat in the NFC North.
For fans hoping to be there in person, tickets are available on StubHub. The current get-in price is $370, while club seats start at $620.
Green Bay enters Week 5 with a mixed opening stretch behind it. The Packers opened with a 39-22 loss to the Vikings, followed that with a 20-17 overtime win over the Jets, then dropped a 35-14 game at the Falcons before heading to Tampa Bay in Week 4. After the Bears, the Packers’ schedule turns to the Cowboys, Lions, Panthers, Patriots, Vikings, and a Week 11 bye, with later dates including games against the Rams, Saints, Bills, Dolphins, Texans, and Lions again.
Chicago’s start has been a little more volatile, too. The Bears opened with a 59-37 win over the Panthers, fell 9-3 to the Vikings, then beat the Eagles 27-7 on Monday night before hosting the Jets in Week 4. After the trip to Green Bay, the Bears move on to the Falcons, Patriots, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Saints, Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins, Bills, Packers, and Vikings.
It’s the kind of matchup that tends to tell you a lot about where both teams stand - and it arrives with plenty still to sort out on both sides.

The reaction stretched well beyond the Green Bay crowd, with Buccaneers fans jumping in online as the picture spread. It also fit a familiar pattern for Packers gamedays, where the action on the field sometimes shares space with viral fan moments that take on a life of their own long after the final whistle.

Packers Escaped Tampa But One Problem Could Loom Over Everything
The Packers left Tampa with a hard-fought 17-14 win, and the box score alone does not tell the whole story. There were bright spots worth filing away, including strong showings from Kaleb Johnson, Laken Tomlinson, Brandon Cisse and Tucker Kraft, but the game also exposed a few issues that lingered beneath the result.
Edgerrin Coopers night loomed over much of the conversation, with his status carrying the kind of weight that can change the way a season is viewed in a hurry. Add in the uneven moments from MarShawn Lloyd and some questions around Matt LaFleurs decisions, and the Packers escape felt less like a clean victory lap than a reminder that the next injury report could matter just as much as the final score.

Packers Suddenly Face Week 4 Pressure From An Unexpected Bucs QB
An undrafted rookie is suddenly set to get his first meaningful NFL shot in Week 4, and it comes with the kind of spotlight Green Bay did not have circled back in August. Jalon Daniels is expected to be in line for significant work for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Packers, a matchup that carries a little extra intrigue because of the urgency surrounding a 0-3 start and the need for somebody to jolt the offense.
Former Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden added to the buzz by publicly encouraging Daniels, framing the moment as both an opportunity and a test of mindset. For Green Bay, the bigger picture is simple: a young quarterback stepping into a pressure-filled setting can bring unpredictability, and the Packers will be dealing with a Tampa Bay team hoping this change at the position can finally spark a turnaround.
