The New York Jets are entering a new era with Aaron Glenn as the head coach and a new quarterback under center in Justin Fields. The Jets will be playing their starters in the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers, including Fields, while Jordan Love is also expected to suit up, setting up for an exciting clash.
Whether you’re in New York, Wisconsin, or streaming from anywhere else, here’s everything you need to know to catch this key Week 1 preseason showdown.
When Is the Green Bay Packers vs. New York Jets Preseason Game?
- Date: Saturday, August 9
- Kickoff Time: 8:00 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT)
- Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
The Jets had the option of drafting a new quarterback at the 2025 NFL Draft, but went with Fields before that, handing him a two-year, $40 million deal. He started six games last season for the Steelers, so it makes sense to test him out early with a new system in place in New York.

While the Packers’ decision to play Love is a little surprising, he isn’t expected to get much playing time, just like last season, when he threw a 65-yard touchdown pass in the preseason opener and didn’t feature again until the start of the regular season.
