The 2025 season was the Green Bay Packers' 105th in the National Football League (NFL), their 107th overall, their eighth under the leadership of general manager Brian Gutekunst and their seventh under head coach Matt LaFleur. They failed to improve on their 11–6 record from last season, and for the fourth consecutive season failed to win the NFC North.
The Packers drafted a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft for the first time since they drafted Javon Walker in 2002. This was the Packers' first season since 2015 and 2017 that Kenny Clark and Jaire Alexander, respectively, were not on the team's opening day roster, as Clark was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for Micah Parsons, while Alexander was released and signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
Following their Week 13 win over the Detroit Lions, the Packers clinched a third straight non-losing season, quarterback Jordan Love improved to 3–0 on Thanksgiving games and they additionally swept the Lions for the first time since 2020. A week 14 win over their longtime rivals, the Chicago Bears, gave the team their third straight winning season. The Packers clinched a playoff spot when the Lions lost to the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day, returning to the playoffs for the third year in a row.
After a 5–1–1 start, which saw them leading the NFC North and on a 3-game winning streak, the Packers lost back-to-back home games, the first of which they entered as two-touchdown favorites, only to be defeated by the Carolina Panthers and lose tight end Tucker Kraft to a torn ACL. The Packers managed a 4-game winning streak after to improve to 9–3–1, before also losing Parsons to a torn ACL during a Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Without Parsons, the Packers suffered through a late-season collapse, losing their last four games, resulting in them surpassing their loss total from the previous season. After falling to the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 17, the Chicago Bears clinched the NFC North title, meaning that the Packers would enter the playoffs as the #7-seed in the NFC for the third consecutive season.
The Packers' late season woes continued as they headed into the playoffs, where they were eliminated in the Wild Card Round by the Bears by a final score of 31–27 after blowing a 21–3 halftime lead. This marks the second straight season in which the Packers went one-and-done in the first round of the playoffs. A report card by the NFL Players Association that was leaked to the public found the team to have the largest-ever single-season decline in their ratings system, dropping from 7th to 21st. The report card graded the team on factors such as head coach, treatment for families, and available player equipment.
The Green Bay Packers drew an average home attendance of 77,875, one of the highest of all American football teams in the world.
