The invention discloses an antibacterial polyethylene film and a method for preparing the same. The film consists of an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer; the outer layer consists of low-density polyethylene and linear low-density polyethylene; the middle layer consists of low-density polyethylene and linear low-density polyethylene; and the inner layer comprises low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, metallocene linear low-density polyethylene, a slipping agent and an antibacterial agent. Compared with the prior art, the antibacterial polyethylene film has the characteristics of broad-spectrum sterilization, lasting antibacterial effect, good safety, no toxicity, no side effects and uneasy discoloration, thereby really achieving the protective function onpackaged foods.
