2026 Detroit Lions Season Schedule
The Detroit Lions finished the 2025 season with a 9-8 record, remaining competitive in the tough NFC North division. Detroit had several strong performances during the year, including dominant wins over the Chicago Bears and impressive victories against AFC opponents like the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. In division rivalry games, the Lions split their series with the Bears but struggled against the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, which impacted their playoff chances late in the season.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Detroit fans will hope the team can build on its winning record and improve its performance in key NFC North matchups. With a solid core and momentum from several big wins in 2025, the Lions will aim to stay competitive in the division and push for a playoff spot in the upcoming National Football League season.
