Cable Cutters, Rejoice!
Forget wrestling with a tangled mess of wires. These days, there are more ways to watch the Lions than Barry Sanders had juke moves. Here's your rundown of streaming services that will have you cheering from the comfort of your couch:
- Paramount+: The official streaming home of CBS, which means you can catch those Sunday afternoon Lions games without breaking a sweat (unless it's from all those hot wings). Bonus: They have a mountain of shows to keep you entertained during those inevitable commercial breaks.
- YouTube TV: Basically cable TV, but for your phone, tablet, or smart TV. Lions games galore, plus all the other channels your heart desires (because, let's face it, sometimes you need a break from football).
- NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube: Want every single NFL game, including those sweet, sweet Detroit victories (and, ahem, some not-so-victories)? This is your one-stop shop. Warning: May lead to excessive Sundays spent yelling at the TV.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Old School Cool: Cable
Still rocking the cable box? No judgement here. Here's the lowdown on which channels you'll need to keep your Lions fix satisfied:

- FOX: Fear not, fellow fans, FOX also nabs some Lions action.
- NBC & ESPN: You might catch the Lions on these channels for primetime games.
- NFL Network: Because who doesn't love reliving the glory days of Sanders and Stafford (and maybe erasing some painful memories from recent seasons...).
