Honolulu Here We Come (Except It's Probably Not Honolulu): Your Guide to Watching the Detroit Lions on Xfinity
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team that, like a fine wine (or perhaps a bathtub full of lukewarm instant ramen), only gets better with age... if you squint real hard and maybe chug a beer. But fear not, fellow fans! Even if the Lions haven't quite figured out how to roar yet, there's still a way to catch all the action (and inevitable heartbreak) from the comfort of your couch, courtesy of Xfinity.

Channel Surfing Safari: Finding the Pride
First things first, you gotta know where to look. Xfinity offers a jungle of channels, and the Lions could be lurking on any number of them, depending on the day of the week. Here's your handy dandy guide:
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
- Sunday Funday: Catch the Lions dominating... well, maybe competing valiantly... on FOX or CBS. These channels are usually included in most Xfinity packages, so dust off your lucky jersey and get ready to cheer (or cry, we won't judge).
- Primetime Prowl: Did the Lions snag a coveted Monday or Thursday night game? Then fire up the ESPN or NBC channels (depending on the day) and prepare for some primetime purring (or, more likely, some exasperated yelling at the TV).
- NFL Network: The Lion's Den (with a Subscription Fee) For the truly dedicated fans (or those who enjoy watching endless highlight reels of Barry Sanders jukes), Xfinity offers the NFL Network as part of their More Sports & Entertainment package. This channel dives deep into all things NFL, Lions included, but it'll cost you a bit extra.
Pro Tip: Download the Xfinity Stream app to catch all the action on your phone or tablet, perfect for those bathroom breaks that mysteriously coincide with every Lions third down.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.

Cutting the Cord, Not the Fun: Xfinity Stream for the Modern Fan
Who says you need a million cables to enjoy the Lions? Xfinity Stream offers all the channels mentioned above, plus the ability to stream them live, so you can ditch the bulky box and watch Matthew Stafford launch (or perhaps gently lob) spirals from anywhere with a decent Wi-Fi connection.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
But Wait, There's More! (Because the NFL Season is Long)
If you're looking for a more comprehensive NFL experience, Xfinity also offers:
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
- NFL RedZone: This channel cuts through all the boring parts of other games and shows you nothing but touchdowns! Perfect for those who just want to see the Lions score (or any team score, really, we're not picky at this point).
- NFL Sunday Ticket (via YouTube): For the ultimate fan, Xfinity now allows you to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube. This package lets you watch every single out-of-market game, so you can witness the Lions, uh, compete, no matter where they're playing.
Frequently Asked Questions (Because We Know You Have Them)
- How to find out what channel the Lions game is on? Check your Xfinity TV guide or use the handy "Sports" section on the Xfinity Stream app.
- I missed the game! Can I record it? Absolutely! Most Xfinity packages include Cloud DVR, so you can set it and forget it, then relive all the glory (or misery) later.
- What if I don't have Xfinity? Xfinity isn't the only game in town. There are other streaming services that offer NFL coverage.
- Do I need a special Xfinity package to watch the Lions? Most Sunday afternoon games will be on FOX or CBS, which are usually included in basic packages. However, for primetime games and extras like NFL Network, you might need a higher-tier package.
- Why are the Lions always losing? That, my friend, is a question for the ages. But hey, at least they keep things interesting!
