The 2015 Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 96th season in the National Football League, the 97th overall, and the tenth under head coach Mike McCarthy. With a Week 15 win over the Oakland Raiders, the Packers clinched a playoff spot for the seventh consecutive season. They failed to win their fifth consecutive NFC North title with a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, the Packers traveled to the Washington Redskins in the Wild Card round. They would end up beating the Redskins 35–18 and traveled to Arizona for a Week 16 rematch against the second seeded Arizona Cardinals. However, the Packers' season would end as they lost to the Cardinals in overtime, 20–26.

Notes
Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.
The Packers opened their season against their famed arch-rival, the Bears. The Bears, behind the strong running of Matt Forte, had the early lead against the Packers, but the Packers were able to gain the advantage in the second half behind Aaron Rodgers' three touchdown passes, two of which were to James Jones, who had been cut by the New York Giants just a week prior. The Packers clinched the win with a Clay Matthews interception, followed by an Eddie Lacy touchdown run, giving the Packers their tenth win over the Bears in the rivals' 12 most recent games.
