The Detroit Lions are adding fuel to the fire ahead of the NFL’s big schedule release — and fans think they might’ve just dropped a major hint about the opener.
On Tuesday, the team released a short teaser video to build anticipation for the 2025 schedule reveal. It didn’t name any opponents or dates, but it was loaded with one strong visual message: Ford Field, from every possible drone angle.
So what’s the big takeaway? It sure looks like Detroit could be kicking off the season at home.
And that would make sense.
Ford Field was electric in 2024. The Lions have gone 15-3 in their last 18 home games, the crowd noise shattered records, and Detroit is now one of the NFL’s best home-field advantages. The league loves putting teams like that in primetime slots — especially for season openers.
The Opponent Guessing Game Begins
Detroit’s 2025 home opponents include some juicy matchups: Minnesota, Green Bay, Dallas, and even Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay could make for great primetime TV. And don’t count out divisional drama — a Week 1 clash with the Packers or Vikings would get the energy cranked up immediately.
Then again, it could still be a road game. If that’s the case, how about the Lions returning to Kansas City? Or maybe a showdown in Philly or Baltimore? Either way, the schedule is stacked with heavyweight matchups.
The Hype Is Real
Between this teaser and Terrion Arnold’s cryptic tweet, Lions fans are buzzing. Everyone’s bracing for a big-time opener, and with the full schedule dropping Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, we’re just hours away from finding out if all the clues line up.
One thing’s for sure — whoever the Lions face first better be ready for a packed house and a team with serious Super Bowl ambition.
