The Green Bay Packers will finally play on Fox this season. The first game of the regular season against the Detroit Lions was broadcasted by CBS, and in Week 2 the team played the Washington Commanders on ‘Thursday Night Football’, on Amazon Prime Video. In Week 3, at the Cleveland Browns, the Packers will move back to their most traditional media partner for a week.

Fox chose its third broadcasting team for Packers-Browns, with Kevin Kugler as a play-by-player and Daryl Johnston as the color commentator. The game starts at noon CT.

It’s the only time the Packers game will be on Fox until Week 7. Next week, the Packers play the Dallas Cowboys on NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football’, and after the bye, Green Bay hosts the Cincinnati Bengals on CBS.

Throughout the season, Fox will still be the most usual place to watch Packers games, with at least eight. CBS has three, NBC has two, ESPN/ABC have one, and Prime Video had one. The final two games of the regular season, against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings, will still have timeslots and TV stations determined down the road.

Broadcast map for Sunday

The website 506 Sports shared the broadcast map for the week, with green being the Packers-Browns game throughout the country. The Fox early window also has Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles (red), New York Jets at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (blue), Las Vegas Raiders at Washington Commanders (yellow), and Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers (orange).

This year, Green Bay is slated to have other three primetime games: Week 4 at the Dallas Cowboys (SNF), Week 8 at the Pittsburgh Steelers (SNF), Week 10 vs the Philadelphia Eagles (MNF). The second Packers-Lions game, at Ford Field, will be a standalone game on Thanksgiving on Fox.

Over the past few years, the NFL has cross-scheduled some games between Fox and CBS. Before that, NFC Sunday afternoon games were always on Fox, and CBS would only broadcast Packers games when they hosted an AFC opponent at Lambeau Field. Still, for divisional games, Fox has the rights to broadcast at least one of each NFC matchups, while the league can move the other one around to CBS or primetime.

It’s the Packers’ first road game of the season after wins over the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders at Lambeau Field.
