Detroit Lions Could Open 2025 NFL Season Against Super Bowl LIX Winner
The Detroit Lions may find themselves kicking off the 2025 NFL season against the Super Bowl LIX champion, thanks to the league’s tradition of having the reigning champs host the season opener. With the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles battling for the title, and both teams already scheduled to host the Lions next season, Detroit is a strong candidate to be featured in the league’s first game of the year.
After a remarkable 15-2 regular season in 2024, the Lions became the most-watched team in the NFL, making them an attractive choice for a high-profile matchup. If they don’t end up facing the Super Bowl winner on opening night, there’s still a chance they could take on the loser in another marquee primetime slot, such as Sunday Night Football or Monday Night Football.
Regardless of how the schedule shakes out, one thing is clear—the Lions will be in the national spotlight early and often in 2025. With a loaded roster and high expectations, Detroit’s journey back to the postseason could start with a statement game against one of the league’s best. The official 2025 schedule will be released in May, but Lions fans should prepare for an exciting start to the new season.
