Matt LaFleur’s Team Could Face Huge Opportunity for Global Glory in 2025

The 2025 NFL season promises to be an exciting one for Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers, as the team might be heading overseas for an international game. With two opponents on their road schedule—Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers—both teams set to host international games, there is a real chance that LaFleur’s Packers could be part of the action, marking another historic chapter in the team’s global football journey.

Following a thrilling opening to the 2024 season in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Packers could return to international turf in 2025. The Cleveland Browns will host a game in London at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their home game in Dublin, marking Ireland’s first-ever NFL game. Both games are part of the NFL’s growing international slate, and the Packers could potentially be playing against one of these teams.

Speculation has already begun to swirl online, with rumors suggesting the Packers may be selected as the Steelers’ opponent in Dublin. While neither the NFL nor the Packers have confirmed these rumors, it has sparked excitement among fans eager to see Green Bay take the field on foreign soil once again. A matchup against the Steelers would be a landmark moment, as it would not only allow the Packers to make their return to the international stage, but also mark an unforgettable first NFL game in Ireland.

Despite this potential opportunity, one thing is clear—the Packers are not planning to forgo a home game to participate in an international event. With only eight home games scheduled for 2025, LaFleur’s team would need to keep their home field advantage intact. This is important, as the Packers have only participated in two international games to date, with both resulting in losses. Their first international contest came in London in 2022 against the New York Giants, and they followed that up with a loss to the Eagles in Brazil to open 2024. Currently, the Packers are one of only six teams that have yet to secure a victory in the NFL’s International Series, which began in 2007.

Nevertheless, the Packers have an incredible opportunity to turn the tide. With games in London, Dublin, Spain, Germany, and Brazil scheduled for the 2025 season, Matt LaFleur’s squad could find themselves competing on an international stage once again, and this time, the stakes may be higher than ever. Whether they face the Browns in London or the Steelers in Dublin, the Packers have the chance to create a new legacy in the NFL’s growing global footprint.

Fans around the world will be eagerly watching as the 2025 season draws nearer, waiting to see if the Packers can make their mark abroad—and perhaps, finally, secure that elusive international victory.
