Packers set 2026 Training Camp dates, kicking off July 29 with public practices

The Green Bay Packers have set the schedule for their 2026 Training Camp, with action beginning Wednesday, July 29. The team announced the dates of practices that will be open to the public, continuing a long-running local tradition that places fans on the field during the early stages of the NFL offseason build toward the regular season.

This will be the Packers’ 81st training camp. The organization points out the origins of the event in 1946, when training camp began under legendary Packers coach Curly Lambeau, establishing a seasonal rhythm for the franchise and for Green Bay-area football culture.

As in past years, the public portion of practices is expected to take place at Ray Nitschke Field. That location has become closely associated with Packers camp coverage, giving fans a chance to watch the team’s offseason work up close and see how players handle practice conditions as preparation ramps up.

In addition to the field practices, the Packers also confirmed that Packers Family Night will be held at Lambeau Field. For fans, that event typically serves as a companion to camp itself, bringing the training-camp experience to the stadium setting while the team continues building cohesion through offseason practices.

The team’s announcement frames 2026 camp as both a return to the familiar structure of open practices and a continuation of the franchise’s historical timeline. While the Packers have not altered the basic venue plan described in the release, the specific number and sequencing of public practice days are set by the team and remain central to planning for supporters who want to attend.

With training camp now positioned in late July, the next step for Packers fans is to track which practice sessions remain open to the public and how camp week activities unfold on-site at Ray Nitschke Field and Lambeau Field. The schedule also sets the stage for how the team will transition from offseason work into the sharper, more structured routines that typically define training camp.

For the wider NFL picture, camp scheduling matters even before the regular season starts. It is often the first widely viewed window into how a team’s offseason plans take shape, including who earns prominent reps and how different groups are deployed as coaches install systems and evaluate roles.
