The Detroit Lions are eagerly awaiting the official reveal of their 2025 NFL schedule, but we already know their full list of home and away opponents. With the Lions now seen as true Super Bowl contenders after back-to-back playoff seasons, fans can expect several of their matchups to land under the bright lights of primetime this year.
At home, the Lions will host the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Cowboys, Browns, Buccaneers, Giants, and Steelers. On the road, they’ll visit the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Bengals, Chiefs, Commanders, Eagles, Rams, and Ravens.
Among the top primetime candidates? The showdowns with a Caleb Williams-led Bears and Jordan Love’s Packers are easy picks, while the rematch against the Commanders — who stunned Detroit in last year’s Divisional Round — feels like must-see TV. Add in heavyweight battles against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and the always-dangerous Chiefs, and the Lions are looking at multiple national spotlights.
It’s a big shift for Detroit, a team that historically has been one of the least-featured franchises in primetime since 2002. But with a rising roster, a stacked NFC North, and high expectations, the Lions are ready for center stage — and the 2025 schedule is about to reflect that.
