The Green Bay Packers schedule takes them to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, for a 1 p.m. ET meeting with the New York Jets. Green Bay enters the Week 2 matchup at 0-1, while New York comes in at 1-0.
For readers checking when and where the game is being played, FOX Sports will carry the TV coverage, with live viewing set for the NFL Week 2 matchup that pits one team trying to rebound against another trying to build on a strong opening win. The Packers are 3.5-point favorites, the total is 44.5, and the moneyline sits at -189 for Green Bay and +159 for New York.
That line reflects the split between what each side showed in Week 1. Green Bay lost 22-39 at Minnesota after allowing 39 points, but the Packers also threw for 353 yards and rank second in passing yards per game through one game. Jordan Love passed for 387 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, while Christian Watson caught six of eight targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including an 81-yard score.
New York answered its opener with a 23-10 win at Tennessee, and the Jets leaned on the run. Breece Hall handled 22 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown, added two catches for 16 yards, and helped New York finish with 152 rushing yards as a team. Geno Smith passed for 215 yards without a touchdown or interception, and the Jets allowed 10 points while ranking tied for second in points allowed per game.
The contrast is what makes the matchup live: Green Bay can move the ball through the air, but it must do it against a New York defense that opened by giving up just 10 points, and the Jets have already shown they can slow a game down with Hall carrying the load. Green Bay also came away with one interception and ranked tied for fifth in interceptions, while New York posted three sacks and the Packers allowed four, so protection and pressure could shape the afternoon as much as the passing numbers do.
By kickoff on Sunday afternoon, the early-season numbers will have to turn into something more durable than one-game trends. If Green Bay wants to avoid 0-2, it needs the same passing volume that showed up against Minnesota to travel, while the Jets will try to keep building around Hall and the defensive start that made their opening win stand out.
