Green Bay Packers seasons

This is a list of competitive seasons by the Green Bay Packers American football franchise of the National Football League. The list documents the season-by-season records of the Packers' franchise from 1919 to the present, including postseason records, and league awards for individual players or head coaches. The Packers franchise was founded in 1919 by Curly Lambeau and played two seasons of competitive football against teams around Wisconsin and Michigan before entering into the NFL.

The Green Bay Packers have played over one thousand games in a total of 89 seasons, 87 of which were in the NFL. In those games, the club won twelve professional American football championships including nine NFL Championships and three Super Bowls—the most in the NFL. The franchise captured eighteen NFL divisional titles and eight NFL conference championships, and recorded the second most regular season (637) and overall victories (662) of any NFL franchise, behind the Chicago Bears.

The franchise has experienced three major periods of continued success in their history. The first period of success came from 1929–1944, when the Packers were named NFL Champions six times. This period saw the Packers become the first dynasty of American football and the first and only NFL team to ever be named NFL Champions in three consecutive seasons (1929–1931). The second period of success was between 1960–1967, where the Packers won three NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowls. The Packers also won three consecutive NFL Championships for the second time in franchise history (1965–1967). The most recent period of success ranges from 1993–present, where the franchise has reached the playoffs eleven times, including two Super Bowl appearances, winning one in 1996.

The Packers have also experienced extended periods of failure in their history. The two most notable times of failure was from 1945–1959, where the franchise never placed higher than 3rd place and recorded the worst record of any Packers team, going 1-10-1 in 1958. The second period of failure occurred between 1968–1992, where the club only went to the playoffs twice, and recorded only six winning seasons.
