The Packers and Aaron Rodgers will host the Panthers in some Saturday night football action during Week 15.

Carolina (4-9) doesn't have anything to play for besides draft position, while the Packers (10-3) have already clinched a playoff spot and an NFC North title. That'll make this a tune-up sort of game for Rodgers with Green Bay as the heavy favorites against Teddy Bridgewater and company.

The biggest thing to watch Saturday night might be Davante Adams' touchdown streak, which is at eight consecutive games and counting. He's made the case as the best wide receiver in football, and no one would bet against Adams catching another touchdown in Week 15.

Below is everything you need to know about how to watch Saturday's game in Green Bay, plus a look at the complete Week 15 NFL schedule.

What channel is Packers vs. Panthers on today?

The NFL's Saturday games are available for broadcast exclusively on NFL Network, without the Fox simulcast that is common for Thursday Night Football. That means you'll need a cable provider to watch the game. Packers vs. Panthers will be called by Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and Mark Schlereth (color).

NFL Network is available via most cable providers in the United States. It also is available via satellite provider DirecTV (channels 212 and 1212) and IPTV providers Verizon FiOS (channels 88 and 588) and Google Fiber (channel 2019).
