Schedule

Preseason

On February 16, the NFL announced that the Packers will play the Indianapolis Colts in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. The game will occur on Sunday, August 7, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, and will air at 7:00 p.m. CDT on the NFL Network. NBC, which usually carries the game, will be unable to do so due to their coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics.[19] The two teams will also meet during the regular season in Green Bay. The Olympics will further affect pre-season coverage in the Milwaukee and Green Bay markets until the third game of the pre-season, as the Packers' broadcast partners in those markets (WTMJ-TV and WGBA-TV, both NBC affiliates) will have to sub-license games to other stations due to Olympic coverage unless those games are picked up for national coverage.

The remainder of the Packers' preseason opponents and schedule were announced on April 7.[20]
