Packers-Jets Week 2 Matchup Lands in Early Window on FOX

The Green Bay Packers will travel to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for a Week 2 meeting with the New York Jets, with kickoff set for 1:00 PM Eastern (Noon Central) on Sunday, September 20, 2026.

The early slot is a relative rarity for Green Bay, which has only two Noon Central kickoffs scheduled across the first half of its season. The other comes in two weeks, when the Packers visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For fans outside the regional broadcast footprint, the game may require a trip to a sports bar or an out-of-market streaming package.

Both teams arrive with contrasting opening-week results: Green Bay enters at 0-1, while New York sits at 1-0.

Broadcast Details

The game will air on Fox Corporation‘s national network, whose shares closed at $64.98 previously and were trading down 0.82% at $64.45, valuing the company at roughly $26.85 billion. FOX carries one of the league’s marquee Sunday afternoon packages, and regional broadcast maps determine which markets receive the matchup.

In the booth, play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert will be paired with former NFL linebacker Jonathan Vilma. Streaming options include the FOX Sports app and the NFL app for in-market viewers, while out-of-market fans can access the game through NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV, which offers a seven-day free trial. The Packers Radio Network will carry the audio broadcast.

According to the game primer, the point spread lists Green Bay as a 3.5-point favorite, though the over/under total was not included in the published information.
