The Packers have played several times outside of the United States, though most were preseason games. They have played two preseason games in Canada (1997 in Toronto, 2019 in Winnipeg) and 1998 in Tokyo. They have played just one regular season game on foreign soil: a 27-22 loss against the New York Giants in London in 2022.
There will be four other international games in the 2024 NFL season, though we only know the home teams for those contests. The Carolina Panthers will be the home team for one game in Munich. The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears will both be home teams for games in London, while the Jacksonville Jaguars will play their 12th London game since 2013.
