The Green Bay Packers have become accustomed to playing on Saturday nights in recent weeks. This unusual scheduling has seen the team take part in primetime games on Saturdays for the past two weeks. However, with Week 18 approaching, Matt LaFleur’s squad will shift back to Sunday afternoon action.

The Packers, who currently hold a record of 9-6-1, will wrap up their 2025 regular season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, January 4. This matchup is expected to resemble more of an exhibition game for Green Bay, as the team is already secured in the seventh seed of the NFC playoffs.

LaFleur has indicated that several key players will be rested for this final regular-season game to prevent further injuries. The Packers have struggled with injuries throughout the season, and the decision to sit starters is aimed at ensuring the team remains healthy heading into the postseason.

One of the notable players not expected to play is quarterback Jordan Love. He has been sidelined since suffering a concussion in a game two weeks prior. His absence means that third-string quarterback Clayton Tune will step in to lead the offense for the Packers in this final contest.

Key Details About the Final Regular Season Game

• The Packers will face the Minnesota Vikings in their last regular-season game of the 2025 season.
• The game is scheduled for Sunday, January 4, and is expected to be a low-stakes match for Green Bay.
• Several starters, including Jordan Love, will be rested to avoid additional injuries.
• Clayton Tune, the team’s third-string quarterback, will start in place of Love.

How to Watch the Packers’ Final Game

For fans looking to catch the Packers’ final regular-season game, there are several ways to follow the action:

• The game will be broadcast on national television, with specific details available through local networks.
• Fans can also stream the game online through official NFL platforms or through their cable provider’s streaming service.
• Additional coverage of the Packers and other NFL teams during Week 18 can be found through sports news outlets and dedicated NFL websites.

Do the Packers play today?

No, the Packers do not play today, ending their streak of playing on Saturdays.

But Packers fans will be interested in keeping a close eye on the Saturday doubleheader featuring two NFC games.

While the matchups (Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers) won’t determine the Packers’ wild-card playoff opponent – that will come early evening Sunday, Jan. 4 – the NFC postseason picture will be nearly complete after those two Saturday games.

What time is the Packer game tomorrow?

• Time: Noon
• Date: Sunday, Jan. 4

The Packers play the Vikings at noon Sunday, Jan. 4, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis in the regular season finale. It’s the first noon Sunday game for the Packers since they played their first matchup against the Vikings on Nov. 23 in Week 12.

Is Jordan Love playing tomorrow?

Jordan Love is not playing in the Packers’ Week 18 game against the Vikings.

Love cleared concussion protocol this week but he will sit out the regular-season finale since the Packers don’t have anything to play for.

The Packers quarterback sustained a concussion in the second quarter of the team’s Week 16 game on Dec. 20 against the Chicago Bears. He missed the rest of that game as well as the next game against the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 27.

The Packers lost both games.

Is JJ McCarthy playing vs the Packers?

Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will return to the field for the regular-season finale after recovering from a hand injury.

The former first-round pick suffered a hairline fracture in his right hand in the second quarter of the Vikings’ Week 16 game against the New York Giants.

That injury forced McCarthy to miss Minnesota’s Christmas Day win over the Detroit Lions in Week 17 but he has ramped up his activity this week where he’s been a full participant at practice the last two days.

McCarthy, who missed all of his rookie season in 2024 with a torn meniscus in his right knee, has battled through multiple injuries in his first as the starter.

McCarthy has missed seven full games due to ankle and hand injuries and a concussion.
