The Classic Cable Catch
For those of you who haven't embraced the streaming revolution (or maybe just haven't gotten around to untangling that giant ball of cords yet), fret not! The Lions can still be your Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday) ritual. Here's the breakdown:
- The Big Three: CBS, FOX, and NBC are your primary channels for Lions action. These networks snag most of the regular season games, so keep an eye on your local listings.
- Monday Night Magic: If the Lions are gracing the primetime stage, flip over to ESPN for some Monday Night Football action.
- Pro Tip: Not sure which channel? Most cable providers offer a handy dandy program guide. Just punch in "Lions" and let it do the work!
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Cutting the Cord? No Problem!
Streaming services are all the rage these days, and lucky for you, Lions fans can get their fix online too. Here's a quick rundown of some popular options:
- Streaming the Pride: Services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV offer live TV streaming packages that include the major networks mentioned above. Pay a monthly fee, ditch the cable bill, and cheer on the Lions!
- Peacock: If the Lions snag a Sunday Night Football slot, Peacock (NBC's streaming service) might be your go-to.
- Going Solo: Some networks, like CBS and ESPN, also offer standalone streaming subscriptions, so you can pick and choose what you pay for.
Bonus Round: NFL Game Pass (with a But)
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Now, NFL Game Pass might seem like a tempting option to catch every single Lions game. However, there's a catch (there always is, right?). Local blackout restrictions might apply, meaning you could be blacked out of watching your own team if the game is being aired locally. Check the fine print before you subscribe!

Ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream. And maybe some tissues. We've all been there. But hey, at least there's always next season, right?
