Detroit then hosts the Chicago Bears in their home opener in Week 2 before traveling to play a road Monday Night Football contest against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. The matchup marks Detroit’s first-ever Monday Night Football game at Baltimore.

In Week 6, the Lions travel to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, their second-straight game against the Chiefs in prime-time. The Lions then host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 7, the first Monday Night meeting between the teams since 1998, before entering the Bye in Week 8.

In Week 11, the Lions make their second Sunday Night Football appearance of the season at the Philadelphia Eagles, the first-ever prime-time meeting between the teams.

Detroit’s 86th Thanksgiving Day Classic takes place on Thursday, Nov. 27 at 1:00 p.m. ET as the Lions welcome the Green Bay Packers, Detroit’s most faced opponent on the holiday, for the 23rd all-time Thanksgiving Day battle between the two clubs. Following Thanksgiving, the Lions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football in Week 14, the first time the teams will ever meet on a Thursday.

The Lions travel to play the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day in Week 17, their third-ever Christmas Day game and their third Thursday game in a five-week span. Detroit then concludes the regular season with a Week 18 road matchup at the Chicago Bears, the first time Detroit has concluded a season with two-straight road divisional games since 2014.
