Panthers visit Packers on Thursday night, both looking to bounce back

Carolina leads the NFC South despite a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay, while Green Bay seeks to recover from a 20-17 defeat at Detroit that snapped a three-game winning streak.

The Carolina Panthers head to Lambeau Field on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to face the Green Bay Packers in a Week 8 NFC matchup, kicking off at 8:15 PM ET.

Carolina enters at 3-3 but still sits atop the NFC South, looking to shake off a lopsided 43-13 home loss to Tampa Bay last week. That defeat came after a 25-14 road win at Philadelphia coming out of their Week 5 bye. The Panthers are averaging 26.5 points per game and throwing for 276.0 yards per game.

Green Bay is 4-3 after seeing its three-game winning streak snapped in a 20-17 loss at Detroit. Before that skid, the Packers had rolled through Tampa Bay, Chicago and Dallas, including a 31-7 win over the Bears, while allowing just 34 points combined over that stretch. On the season, Green Bay is giving up 20.7 points per game and holds the No. 5 turnover margin in the league at plus-5, though their third-down conversion rate of 35.2 percent ranks near the bottom of the NFL.

The game airs nationally on Prime Video, with local coverage on NBC26 and FOX6.
