DETROIT (FOX 2) - The stage is set for the Detroit Lions as their 2025 opponents have been decided at home and on the road. After a historic 15-2 regular season and being crowned kings of the NFC, the Lions are already looking ahead to later this year, and who they will be playing during their 2025-26 season.

In addition to hosting NFC North rivals Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, the Lions will welcome in the Cowboys, Buccaneers (NFC South champions), Steelers, New York Giants and Cleveland Browns.

The Lions still have work to do this season, but their 2025 opponents — which include nine teams that made the 2024 playoffs —have been set.

The Lions just finished the best regular season in franchise history but say their ultimate mission is just beginning. Why it matters: Football-obsessed Detroit has never been to a Super Bowl, and this is maybe the city's best chance ever to make it.
