The Packers will welcome the Arizona Cardinals to Green Bay this week for a joint practice, set for Wednesday, Aug. 26, prior to the preseason game between the two teams on Friday, Aug. 28. The start time for practice on Wednesday has been changed to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday will also mark the final open practice at 2026 Packers Training Camp.

To ensure the Cardinals players experience one of the most storied training camp traditions in the NFL, kids of all fan affiliations are encouraged to bring their bikes to Lambeau Field to offer rides to Cardinals and Packers players alike prior to practice.

The Cardinals will begin practice on Clarke Hinkle Field, on the west side of the Don Hutson Center, before joining the Packers on Ray Nitschke Field on the east side of the Don Hutson Center for the joint portion of each practice.

To offer rides to the Cardinals, kids are asked to line up with their bikes in front of the Potawatomi Sportsbook Gate on the south end of Lambeau Field off of Valley View Road. Kids can line up as early as 9 a.m. but are asked to be in place by 10:30 for the Cardinals to make their way to practice. A bike corral will be set up to guide kids and players from the locker room door as they travel east, through the Lambeau Field parking lot and across Oneida Street. Cardinals players will enter the practice field through a gate in the fence surrounding Clarke Hinkle Field.

During practice, kids can line their bikes up inside of Lot 1 to wait for the end of practice, when they will be able to offer their bikes for the Cardinals players to ride back to the locker room.

To ensure a smooth and safe ride to practice, law enforcement will be directing traffic on Oneida between Lombardi Avenue and Mike McCarthy Way during pre- and post-practice movements. Visitors should know that Packers players will continue to ride bikes, as well, with normal DreamDrive operations taking place outside the Oneida Nation Gate.

The Lambeau Field Atrium also offers plenty to do and see during training camp, including the Packers Pro Shop, the Packers Hall of Fame and Lambeau Field Stadium Tours. 1919 Kitchen & Tap is open each day beginning at 11 a.m., with the Johnsonville Tailgate Village and a variety of food trucks also offering food and beverages.

In recent years, the Packers have taken part in several joint practice sessions in conjunction with preseason games, hosting the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots in Green Bay.
