With the 2024 season all over, it is time to turn our attention to the 2025 season<\/a>. For the Detroit Lions, the 2024 season was once again a big success, although their wait for making the Super Bowl continues each passing year. It is now 2 straight years that the Lions have made it deep into the playoffs, but both times they fell short when they were expected to march on. Unfortunately, for Lions fans, what is done is done and one can only look forward to the future with hope still intact. <\/p>

Between now and the start of the 2025 regular season, several changes will take place for all 32 NFL teams. The draft will see a plethora of new players enter the league, there will be quite a few retirements from the game, teams will make some free agent signings, they will release some other players, and much, much more. However, one thing is set in stone even now. We already have the full list of opponents the Detroit Lions<\/a> will face in the 2025 season. <\/p>

Even though the schedule for the new season will be released later, we already know which teams the Lions will face and which of those games will be home and away.<\/p>

Detroit Lions 2025 Season Home Games <\/h2>

As per the NFL’s policy, each team will play the other three teams in their division twice, once at home and once on the road. The Detroit Lions belong to the NFC North division, which includes the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, and the Minnesota Vikings. Therefore, the Lions will face each of these teams once at home. <\/p>

Then, the Lions will face four teams from another division in their conference (NFC), but only two games will be home games. This year, the NFC North will face off against the NFC East. The Lions will play the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants at home. <\/p>

Moreover, Detroit will face the four teams of one division from the other conference (AFC). As per the NFL’s rotational policy, the NFC North will play the AFC North this year, with two of the games being at home. The Lions’ home games will be against the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers. <\/p>

The Lions will then play 3 division winners – 2 from the NFC, NFC South, and NFC West as well as the AFC West Champions as they finished atop the NFC North in 2024. However, they have only one home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFC South). <\/p>

Recap of Lions 2025 home games: Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, Dallas, New York Giants, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay.<\/strong><\/p>
