The 2019 season was the Green Bay Packers' 99th in the National Football League (NFL), their 101st overall and their first under new head coach Matt LaFleur. After suffering back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1990–91 and missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2005–06, the Packers improved on their 6–9–1 record from 2018, finishing 13–3 and returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. This guaranteed the Packers' first non-losing season since that same year. Green Bay swept the NFC North for the first time since their franchise-best 2011 season, and achieved their best record since that season as well. The Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28–23 in the Divisional round of the playoffs, and visited the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, where they lost 37–20.

Staff Final roster Preseason The Packers' preseason opponents and schedule were announced in the spring. The preseason week 3 game against the Raiders was in the process of being negotiated; plans were for the game to be held at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on August 22 after a scheduling conflict prevented the game from being played at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. In the event that the Winnipeg negotiations would have fallen through, the game would be moved to Lambeau Field, effectively giving the Packers an extra home game. On June 5, the IG Field in Winnipeg was confirmed as the host. Due to holes left in the endzones where the field goals are traditionally anchored in Canadian football, the Packers' third preseason game was played on a modified 80-yard field. Regular season On March 25, the NFL announced that the Packers will open their season by playing the Chicago Bears in the Kickoff Game on Thursday, September 5, with the Bears serving as the home team. The game kicked off at 7:20 p.m. CDT, and was televised by NBC. The full schedule was released on April 17. Schedule Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.
