Breaking Down the Lions Schedule

Following a shocking loss in the Divisional Round last season, the Lions open the 2025 season in the CBS Week 1 national window at division rival Green Bay. The Lions’ recent turnaround has vaulted them to marquee status, as Detroit is scheduled for five primetime games this season.

The Lions’ schedule is highlighted by Divisional Round rematch against Washington in the Week 10 national window on FOX, followed by a trip to Philadelphia for Sunday Night Football. After a Thanksgiving Day meeting with the Packers, Detroit faces the Cowboys in a Thursday night showdown and has another holiday game on Christmas Day against the Vikings on Netflix.

In cross-conference action, Detroit faces tough tests against the Chiefs, Ravens, and Bengals, all on the road.
