Whether you’re watching from the stands, streaming on your phone, or listening in your car, here’s your complete guide to the Lions’ big night.
📺 Where to Watch — Primetime, Baby!

🎉 Pregame Party Central — Pride Plaza
Game day in Detroit isn’t complete without a stop at Pride Plaza on Brush Street — the Lions’ official tailgate spot presented by Bud Light. The fun kicks off at 4:00 p.m., and admission is totally free. Expect Detroit food trucks, music, fan games, and a special performance by the Detroit Lions Drumline — the Honolulu Boom.
If that’s not enough, swing by Power Hour hosted by Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, where you’ll find food and drink specials, autographs from Lions Legends, and a chance to meet the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders. Talk about pregame energy!
🏈 Game Day Extras — Because Detroit Does It Right

And don’t miss the Lions Light Show — every fan gets a light-up wristband to turn Ford Field into a glowing sea of blue and silver. If your seat doesn’t have one, pick it up at guest services before kickoff!
🎺 Halftime Magic — Go Blue Meets Honolulu Blue
For the first time ever, the 128th University of Michigan Marching Band, led by Dr. John Pasquale, will perform at halftime. Expect high-energy tunes, precision formations, and a serious dose of Michigan pride.
