How can I listen to the Packers game for free?
You can stream local and preseason Packers games for free through the Official Green Bay Packers app, local radio stations, or NFL Game Pass free trial.
If you're hunting for a free way to catch every Green Bay Packers game this season, you’ve got a few options—but don’t expect perfect legality for out-of-market streams. Here’s the real deal on how to listen without dropping cash.
What’s actually happening with free Packers game broadcasts?
As of 2026, NFL rules block full live streaming of regular-season games to anyone except licensed broadcasters and official apps.
Local games are still available through team-owned apps and radio networks, but primetime, playoff, and out-of-market games? Those usually require paid access through NFL Game Pass, SiriusXM, or network TV deals.
How do I stream Packers games using the official app?
Download the Official Green Bay Packers mobile app (iOS 10+ or Android 5+) to stream local and preseason games in real time.
- Get the app first
- Grab it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Install it, open it up, and sign in or create an account.
- Hit “Live Stream” to watch local and preseason games as they happen.
- Just remember: this only works for games aired on Milwaukee, Green Bay, Appleton, or Madison affiliates.
Which local radio stations carry Packers games?
Green Bay-area fans can tune to WTAQ 1360 AM or WIXX-FM 101.1, while Milwaukee listeners can catch WTMJ-AM 620.
- Green Bay: WTAQ 1360 AM or WIXX-FM 101.1
- Milwaukee: WTMJ-AM 620

Can I use NFL Game Pass to listen for free?

Can I pick up Packers games over the air without internet?
If you live within 50 miles of Green Bay or Milwaukee, a digital antenna can pull in local NBC, CBS, or FOX affiliates.
- Set up a digital antenna within range.
- Tune to channel 4 (WTMJ-TV) or 5 (WFRV-TV) for live coverage.
- No internet needed, and it’s completely legal.
What should I do if I’m traveling and want to listen?
Use the NFL app’s “Find Local Games” feature to locate broadcasts in new cities while you’re on the road.
How can I avoid missing games next season?
Download the Packers app before the season starts, bookmark local station sites, and set calendar reminders for free trial end dates.
Plan ahead so you’re not scrambling:
- Install the Packers app before kickoff.
- Save local station websites to your bookmarks and check stream availability.
- Use the NFL app’s “Find Local Games” feature when you travel.
- Set calendar alerts for free trial end dates so you don’t get stuck paying.
Why do some free options stop working mid-season?
NFL blackout rules and changing broadcast deals can shut down free streams, especially for primetime or out-of-market games.
Those free local streams and trials? They’re great until the NFL decides to lock things down. Primetime games and out-of-market broadcasts almost always require paid access.
Is there a completely legal way to listen for free every week?
Honestly, no—local radio and preseason streams are the closest you’ll get without paying.
Outside of local broadcasts and short free trials, the NFL’s tight grip on streaming means you’ll usually need a paid subscription for full access.
What’s the best free option overall?
For most fans, the Official Packers mobile app gives the most reliable free access to local and preseason games.
It’s simple, legal, and covers the games that matter most to Wisconsin fans. Everything else tends to be a temporary fix or requires payment down the line.
