The 1940 Green Bay Packers season marked the franchise's 22nd season overall and their 20th year in the National Football League (NFL). In a scheduling idiosyncrasy, the Packers began 1940 playing six consecutive home games before finishing on the road for the last five contests of the season. The defending NFL champions, Green Bay finished with a 6âÂÂ4âÂÂ1 record under founder and head coach Curly Lambeau, earning them a second-place finish in the Western Conference.
