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