The 2019 season was the Green Bay Packers' 99th in the National Football League (NFL), their 101st overall and their first under new head coachMatt LaFleur. After suffering back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1990–91 and missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2005–06, the Packers improved on their 6–9–1 record from 2018, finishing 13–3 and returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. This guaranteed the Packers' first non-losing season since that same year. Green Bay swept the NFC North for the first time since their franchise-best 2011 season, and achieved their best record since that season as well.
The Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28–23 in the Divisional round of the playoffs, and visited the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, where they lost 37–20.

Draft trades
^New Orleans traded their 2019 first-round selection, as well as their 2018 first- and fifth-round selections (27th and 147th) to Green Bay in exchange for Green Bay's 2018 first round selection (14th), during the 2018 NFL Draft. During the 2019 NFL Draft, the Packers traded their 30th overall selection acquired from New Orleans as well as their 114th and 118th picks to Seattle in exchange for the Seahawks' 21st overall pick.[60]

Preseasonedit
The Packers' preseason opponents and schedule were announced in the spring.[66]
The preseason week 3 game against the Raiders was in the process of being negotiated; plans were for the game to be held at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba,[67] on August 22 after a scheduling conflict prevented the game from being played at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan.[68] In the event that the Winnipeg negotiations would have fallen through, the game would be moved to Lambeau Field, effectively giving the Packers an extra home game.[69] On June 5, the IG Field in Winnipeg was confirmed as the host.[70]
Due to holes left in the endzones where the field goals are traditionally anchored in Canadian football, the Packers' third preseason game was played on a modified 80-yard field.
On March 25, the NFL announced that the Packers will open their season by playing the Chicago Bears in the 2019Kickoff Game on Thursday, September 5, with the Bears serving as the home team. The game kicked off at 7:20 p.m. CDT, and was televised by NBC.[71][72] The full schedule was released on April 17.[73][74]
DAL – Dak Prescott – 27/44, 463 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT
Top rushers
GB – Aaron Jones – 19 rushes, 107 yards, 4 TD
DAL – Ezekiel Elliott – 12 rushes, 62 yards, TD
Top receivers

DAL – Amari Cooper – 11 receptions, 226 yards, TD
The Packers controlled the game early on, establishing a 31–3 lead midway through the third quarter with running back Aaron Jones rushing for four touchdowns and the Packers defense forcing three interceptions off of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Although the Cowboys attempted to come back late in the game, with the team totaling over 500 yards of total offense and 3 touchdowns, the Packers' lead would prove too much to overcome. With the win, the Packers improved to 4-1 and won their third straight meeting against the Cowboys.
