Packers training camp bike tradition
The tradition of Packers players riding a young fans bike to practice remains a memorable part of training camp.
The Green Bay Packers head over to Lambeau Field for their annual Family Night practice on Friday, Aug. 7.
And in 2026, the event is reaching a milestone anniversary.
For the 25th time, the Packers will host Family Night inside the historic stadium during their training camp schedule.
Tens of thousands of fans will watch Jordan Love and the team practice, with some limited tackling, and a fireworks show after less than a week before the team’s first preseason game. It’s the only training-camp practice held at Lambeau Field and televised. All of the other practices are at Ray Nitschke Field.
Packers Family Night started as an intrasquad scrimmage in 1999 but changed to a modified practice in 2014.
The only years Family Night wasn’t held came in 2002 and 2003 during a Lambeau Field redevelopment and in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here’s what to know about the 2026 Packers Family Night, including the start time, where to watch, tickets and more:
