The NFL is releasing the league-wide schedule on Thursday evening, but individual teams have been granted permission to release their schedules ahead of time. The Green Bay Packers are among the first teams to show the fans a full slate, tweeting out their 2020 schedule ahead of the official release.

Green Bay has a tough opening stretch as they look to defend their NFC North crown.

The Packers open the season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings, and they also have to face the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers on the road in their first eight games.

The second half of the season features more home games for Green Bay. The Packers will also square off against the archrival Chicago Bears twice in a span of six weeks, including the season finale in Week 17 at Soldier Field.

Green Bay is the beneficiary of a ton of prime time games, though that also speaks to the strength of their schedule.

One interesting detail of note is Green Bay's Week 15 contest against the Carolina Panthers, as the date is still to be determined.

The Packers are coming off a berth in the NFC Championship game, but they will be hard-pressed to repeat their 2019 success with this schedule.

Aside from tough divisional foes like the Vikings and Bears, the Packers also have to go on the road against teams such as the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts.

Matt LaFleur had quite a bit of success in his first year as the head coach of the Packers, but his sophomore season could be more of a struggle.
