But here’s where it gets controversial: with both teams eyeing a deep playoff run, who will emerge victorious in this battle of the Midwest? Let’s dive into everything you need to know to catch the action.
When and Where?
Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 10th, at 7 p.m. CT at the iconic Soldier Field in Chicago. This isn’t just a game—it’s a clash of two franchises with a storied past, and you won’t want to miss it.
How to Watch on TV
The game will be broadcast nationwide on Amazon Prime, making it accessible to millions of fans. But here’s the part most people miss: if you’re in the Green Bay market, you can catch it for free on over-the-air television via NBC26 (WGBA). Milwaukee viewers? Tune in on WITI (FOX6). And yes, it’s also available on mobile devices through NFL+. The broadcast team? None other than the legendary Al Michaels on play-by-play, alongside analyst Kirk Herbstreit and sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung.
How to Listen on the Radio
For those who prefer the classic radio experience, the Packers Radio Network has you covered. With 54 stations across Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, and the Dakotas, you’re never too far from the action. 95.7 BIG F.M. – WRIT-Milwaukee is the flagship station, kicking off its run as the team’s primary radio home. Wayne Larrivee handles play-by-play, while Packers legends Larry McCarren (analyst) and John Kuhn (sideline reporter) bring insider insights. Fun fact: McCarren and Larrivee have been calling games together since 1999, making them one of the longest-running duos in NFL history. And this is the part most people miss: they’ve surpassed Jim Irwin and Max McGee for the most Packers games broadcast, with over 313 games under their belts.
The broadcast is also available on Sirius Satellite Radio and the Packers Radio Network app. Nationally, Westwood One will air the game with Ryan Radtke and Mike Golic on the call, hosted by Scott Graham.
