The Lions and Thanksgiving is a tradition that goes back decades. But starting next season, it’s going to change -- slightly.

The 2025 NFL schedule release blows out the doors on Wednesday evening. While we already know the Detroit Lions home and road opponents for the coming season, the sequence and schedule of games haven't been unveiled.

Long gone are the days of the predictable 1 p.m. Sunday schedule for the Lions. They will play on Thanksgiving and Christmas, with five prime-time games and even more in the 4:25 p.m. window.

We don't know the 2025 NFL schedule yet but but we do know each team's opponents. Here's how all 32 teams rank by strength of schedule.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the two NFC North foes will square off on Thanksgiving at 1 p.m. at Ford Field, meaning the Lions will play a division rival for a third year in a row. The game will be televised on FOX.

Morton came back to the Lions as offensive coordinator after Ben Johnson left that position to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Detroit wide-receivers coach Antwaan Randle El left with him to become assistant head coach/wide-receivers coach in Chicago.

According to Fox insider Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions are scheduled to play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 1.
