Packers Radio Network Stations and How to Listen Live

97.3 FM (WRNW) is the Milwaukee station for Green Bay Packers radio broadcasts; elsewhere, tune to the Packers Radio Network affiliate serving your area. The network includes local stations, while SiriusXM offers another way to hear the game beyond local reception. Here’s how to find a nearby station, tune in to the Packers broadcast, and avoid confusing an ordinary station stream with live game coverage.

How the Packers Radio Network Works

The right Packers radio frequency depends on your location, not just which opponent Green Bay is playing.

The Packers Radio Network distributes the team’s radio broadcast to participating local stations. You tune to an affiliate’s frequency on an AM/FM radio, just as you would for its regular programming.

Keep these listening methods separate:

Local radio: Look for a station carrying the game in your area.
An internet stream: You need an internet connection, and that particular stream must be authorized to carry live game audio where you are.
SiriusXM: You need access through a suitable subscription and device, then must select the correct game feed.

A station’s over-the-air broadcast and its website player are not necessarily identical during an NFL game. Hearing the station online during the week does not guarantee that its stream will carry Sunday’s play-by-play.

How to Find and Listen to a Packers Radio Station Near You

The table groups historically listed Packers Radio Network affiliates by city and gives their call letters, frequencies, and bands. This is a selected, archived list, not a verified current-season roster, so confirm active game coverage before relying on it.

City or Area	Listed AM Option	Listed FM Option or Options
Appleton	WHBY 1150 AM	WAPL 105.7 FM
Eau Claire	WBIZ 1400 AM	WBIZ 100.7 FM
Fond du Lac	KFIZ 1450 AM	WFON 107.1 FM
Green Bay	WTAQ 1360 AM	WTAQ 97.5 FM; WIXX 101.1 FM
Janesville	WCLO 1230 AM	WJVL 99.9 FM
Madison	WIBA 1310 AM	WIBA 101.5 FM
River Falls	WEVR 1550 AM	WEVR 106.3 FM

Step 1: Choose an Active Affiliate Near Your Location

Search the current Packers Radio Network directory on Packers.com for your city or nearby communities. Note the listed affiliates’ call letters, frequencies, and bands. Choose an affiliate for the place where you will actually be listening, not the place where you live if you are traveling.
Match the call letters, frequency, and band. The call letters identify the station; AM or FM tells you which band to select.
Confirm that the station’s game-day schedule lists live coverage of the Packers matchup you want, with the correct opponent and date.

For Milwaukee, WRNW 97.3 FM, branded 97.3 The Game, is the local Packers station identified for the Packers–Vikings broadcast. That does not make it the right terrestrial frequency for listeners elsewhere.

95.7 FM was also a listed Packers station for a Bears matchup. Without a matching city and call sign, however, that frequency is not enough to identify a usable local broadcast.

A listed city is a starting point, not a promise of reception. Terrain, buildings, interference, and the station’s signal coverage all affect what you can hear.

Step 2: Tune the Correct Band and Frequency

Tune to the listed station frequency.
Enter or manually tune the station’s frequency. Do not depend entirely on automatic scanning; a weak but usable station may be skipped.
Listen for the station identification. Confirm the call letters or station branding, rather than assuming that any sports programming is the Packers broadcast.
Set a comfortable volume and check that speech is clear. If the signal is unusable, try another currently confirmed affiliate that serves your area.

I use a portable AM/FM radio for this check because it separates over-the-air reception from internet-streaming restrictions.

Where a city has both AM and FM affiliates, try both rather than assuming one band must be better. An indoor location that receives one poorly may receive the other clearly.

Step 3: Confirm the Game and Save a Backup

Check the opponent and game date. A Packers discussion show, replay, or preview is not the live game.
Listen for coverage of the current matchup. Before kickoff, that may be pregame discussion; once play begins, it should become live play-by-play.
Save the working station as a preset. If another active affiliate is also clear, save it as a backup.
Keep listening on the clearer signal. If neither local option is usable, switch to a licensed game-audio service rather than continuing to search unrelated stations.

For a drive, choose the broadcast before you leave and save any useful backup station while parked. A preset that works at home may fade as you travel out of its coverage area.

How to Listen Outside Local Packers Radio Coverage

If you cannot receive a local affiliate, searching the FM dial for the Milwaukee frequency will not solve the problem.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Streaming

A SiriusXM channel assignment belongs to a particular game, not to the Packers for the entire season.

The following previously listed matchups illustrate the different assignments. They are examples, not current channel guarantees for every future meeting between those teams.

Previously Listed Matchup	Packers Broadcast	Opponent Broadcast
Packers vs. Vikings	SiriusXM channel 228	SiriusXM channel 385
Packers vs. Bengals	SiriusXM channel 225, home feed	SiriusXM channel 381, away feed
Packers vs. Commanders	SiriusXM channel 225	SiriusXM channel 226
Packers vs. Bears	SiriusXM channel 226	SiriusXM channel 380

To select the broadcast:

Find the current Packers game in SiriusXM and select the listed feed.
Choose the feed labeled Packers or Green Bay. Do not choose solely by “home” or “away,” because Green Bay’s role changes with the venue.
Use the channel or stream shown for your device. Check whether the listing applies to your satellite receiver or the app.
Tune in or start playback and confirm the matchup. Make sure your subscription provides access to that feed.

If you hear the opposing team’s announcers, you may have selected the opponent feed rather than the Packers feed. Return to that game’s listing and choose Green Bay.

Internet Listening on a Phone or Computer

For online listening, use an option explicitly offered for live game audio. Use the current game’s listening information on Packers.com or your licensed audio service’s game listing to identify a live audio option for that matchup.

Before settling on a stream:

Check the program description. Look for live game coverage or play-by-play, not merely “Packers radio,” which can also mean interviews and analysis.
Check availability for your location and device. A stream that works in one market may not be available everywhere.
Sign in if required and start playback.
Confirm that the audio matches the current game. Leave the player running once you have a working broadcast.

Repeatedly refreshing a station’s player will not necessarily restore missing Packers game audio.

How to Check and Fix Packers Radio Audio

First identify the problem: a weak radio signal, the wrong program, or an unavailable internet stream. Each needs a different fix.

Weak or Noisy AM/FM Reception

If you can hear the game underneath hiss, buzzing, or fading, you have probably found the broadcast but need better reception.

For a portable radio:

Move it closer to a window. Try a different side of the room if the signal remains weak.
Move away from electrical noise. Chargers, computers, and other nearby electronics can interfere with reception.
Try batteries if the radio supports them. If reception improves away from its power adapter, the adapter or nearby equipment may be contributing noise.

After each change, listen for clearer speech. Stop adjusting when you have a stable, intelligible broadcast; a louder signal is not necessarily a cleaner one.

If another confirmed affiliate is available, compare it before buying an antenna or replacing the radio. A different local signal may solve the problem without additional equipment.

The Wrong Program on an AM/FM Station

A strong, clear signal playing music or unrelated talk usually is not an antenna problem.

Confirm these details:

Station identity: The call letters match the affiliate you intended to tune.
Current affiliation: The station still carries Packers games, rather than appearing only in an old directory.
Game timing: You have the correct date and local kickoff time.
Game coverage: The station’s schedule includes that particular broadcast.

Look for live game coverage or play-by-play in the station’s schedule, not just a Packers-related show. Pregame shows, postgame analysis, and weekday team coverage serve different purposes.

Once you identify the mismatch, switch to a confirmed source for that matchup. Verify the opponent before saving the replacement station.

A Stream That Stops or Changes at Kickoff

If an online station plays normally and then switches away from the game, streaming restrictions are a likely explanation. The station’s terrestrial signal may still carry it.

If you are within range, try the actual AM/FM broadcast. Otherwise, choose an option available in your location.

For buffering or complete silence, separate a connection problem from an availability problem:

Check whether another audio stream plays on the device.
Confirm that the Packers feed is available through your account and in your location.
Reopen the selected game feed and confirm playback.

Streaming audio can also run behind television or another radio feed. A delay does not necessarily mean you selected the wrong game; compare the opponent and game action before changing services.

Before game day, charge your listening device or check the radio’s batteries. Test your chosen source before kickoff.
