| What Radio Station Are The Detroit Lions On |
The Flagship Sails Again: 97.1 WXYT-FM
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Forget the pirate radio of yesteryear, mateys! The official home of the Detroit Lions on the radio waves is the mighty WXYT-FM, 97.1 on your dial. That's right, since 2021, these guys have been the captain of the Lions radio ship, bringing you every play, every touchdown (or, let's be honest, every heartbreaking interception) in glorious AM stereo...or is it FM stereo? Anyway, it sounds good!
Spreading the Gospel of Goff: The Lions Radio Network
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
But wait, there's more! WXYT isn't the only place to catch the Lions. The Detroit Lions Radio Network stretches across the great state of Michigan, with a whopping 50 stations in 40 markets ready to blare the sounds of the game. Think of it as a pride of radio lions, all roaring in unison. You can find a full list of affiliates on the Lions official website, but be warned, it might take longer to read than an entire Dan Campbell press conference.

QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Bonus Round: Beyond the Radio Dial
Let's face it, sometimes you just can't be near a radio. But fear not, fellow Lions fan! You can still get your football fix with these options:
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
- SiriusXM: They offer Lions games, but be prepared to shell out some dough for a subscription. Hey, at least you won't have to listen to annoying commercials about mesothelioma lawyers.
- NFL Game Pass or TuneIn Premium: These streaming services might be your best bet if you're tech-savvy and want to listen to the games online. Just remember, with great streaming power comes great buffering responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (Because We Know You'll Ask)
- How do I find the Lions radio affiliate in my area? Head over to the Detroit Lions website and navigate to the "Lions Radio Network" section. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you find the dulcet tones of Lions announcers.
- Can I listen to the games on my phone? Maybe! It depends on the app you use. Some radio stations have their own apps, and some streaming services like SiriusXM or TuneIn can be accessed on your phone.
- What if I don't live in Michigan? Well, buddy, you've got a few choices. Travel to Michigan (we recommend packing cheese curds for the trip), subscribe to SiriusXM, or become best friends with a Lions fan who lives in Michigan and is willing to share their streaming login (not recommended, but hey, we're not here to judge).
- Do I need to wear earplugs while listening to the games? It depends on your tolerance for screaming announcers and the general despair that comes with being a Lions fan.
- Is there anything stronger than coffee that will help me stay awake during a Lions game? Let's just say caffeine might not be enough. But hey, at least the dulcet tones of the announcers are there to lull you into a sweet, football-induced sleep.
