Lions are in for another primetime-heavy season
The Detroit Lions are once again shaping up to be one of the NFL’s premier primetime attractions.
Even after missing the playoffs in 2025, Detroit is still drawing major national attention, and the early schedule leaks prove it. As things currently stand, the Lions are slated to play in a Thursday Night Football matchup, two Sunday Night Football games, a Monday Night Football showdown, and, of course, their traditional Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field.
A Week 2 road battle against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football would immediately place Dan Campbell’s squad back under the national spotlight.
Add in Detroit’s international appearance in Germany along with multiple standalone games, and the Lions are once again becoming one of the league’s most visible franchises.
Now, fans wait to see which leaks emerge next before Thursday night’s official NFL schedule release.
And if history is any indication, there are still plenty more surprises coming.
