Week 2 of the NFL 2025-26 regular season begins with Thursday Night Football (TNF) in action on September 11. Last week was the season opener, and what a way to start the new season it was. The defending Super Bowl Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, took on divisional rivals the Dallas Cowboys.

In a game that was closer than expected, the Eagles trumped the Cowboys at home, but the biggest talking point of the game came even before the first snap as Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott.

Nevertheless, it is time to focus on the week ahead, and with that, here are the details of the second Thursday Night Football game of the season. So, who plays on Thursday Night Football tonight? Let’s dive in.

Who plays on Thursday Night Football tonight?

Thursday Night Football in week 2 pits the Washington Commanders against the Green Bay Packers. Both teams are coming off wins from their week 1 matchups. The Commanders overcame their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants, with ease (21-6) and will be high on confidence.

The Packers themselves will also be optimistic about their chances following their win over the Detroit Lions (27-13) last week. In fact, Green Bay looks like this could be the year they regain the top spot in the NFC North, and the addition of Micah Parsons will only help.

Commanders vs Packers Head-to-Head Record for Regular Season

The Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers have met 40 times in total, and it is the latter who holds a 22-17-1 lead in their head-to-head. Heading into this match, the Packers are the favorites, but the last time the two teams met, it was the Commanders who came out on top.

That said, both teams have evolved significantly since the last time they met, which was back in the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay during the 2022 season. Washington came away from that game as 23-21 winners.

Week 2 Thursday Night Football Predictions

It will be the first time the Jordan Love-led Packers go up against the Jayden Daniels-led Commanders. Both rosters are quite evenly matched, so picking a winner is certainly a task.

That said, Green Bay enters as the favorites, and based on their performance last week against the Lions, they have a very good reason to do so. The game could go down to the wire, but in the end, the home support helps the Packers edge out the Commanders.

Week 2 TNF Kick-Off Time: 8:15 PM ET

Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Our Prediction: Green Bay Packers to win.
