Nov. 15 is the leaked date for Detroit’s 2026 international game in Germany, set for 9:30 a.m. ET on FOX, though the Lions’ opponent remains unknown.
The Lions already know their 17-game opponent list through the NFL’s rotation formula: home dates with the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Giants, Jets, Buccaneers and Titans, plus road games against the Bills, Dolphins and others.
Detroit drew three last-place opponents after finishing fourth in the NFC North in 2025, helping produce what is projected to be the NFL’s easiest 2026 schedule.
FanDuel lists the Lions as NFC North favorites at +145, with playoff odds of -215 and Super Bowl odds of +1700, as the NFL prepares to unveil its full 2026 international slate on May 13.

Will the Lions’ historically easy schedule build a contender or leave them unprepared for the playoffs?
