The Detroit Lions play 17 regular-season games in the 2026 NFL season, 9 at home at Ford Field and 8 away, opening on Sep 13 and finishing on Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC North rivals. The bye falls in week 6, between Oct 11 and Oct 25 — the one week of the season with no game, and a gap in this team's row on the grid rather than a hole in the data. The longest run at home is 3 games, from Nov 15 to Nov 26; the longest run on the road is 2, from Oct 4 to Oct 11.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Detroit Lions' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.
The Detroit Lions' next game is at home against the New Orleans Saints on Sep 13. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
Week 6, between Oct 11 and Oct 25. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.
17 regular-season games: 9 at home at Ford Field and 8 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC North opponents. The playoffs are not included.
Yes — one game: FC Bayern Munich Stadium on Nov 15. It keeps the league's own calendar date, and the kick-off converts to your timezone like any other game on this page.
Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
