Detroit Lions Preseason 2022: Full Schedule, Fixtures and Live Stream Details

The schedule for the Detroit Lions‘ 17 regular-season contests and a bye week in 2022 is now decided. We already knew who they would play in each of their three preseason games, but the team just formally revealed the dates and times earlier this week.

How did the Detroit Lions fare last season?

A 3-13-1 overall record and an 0-8 start provide a lot of material for difficult losses, which is exactly what happened to the 2021 Detroit Lions. However, they significantly improved late in the season, winning three of their final six games (two of which were against playoff opponents), and six of their 13 losses were decided by a single point (seven by less than 10 points).

The Lions were just outmatched early in certain games and were never able to make up ground. A roster that was already whittled out by injuries and eventually COVID-19 problems. The Lions were occasionally outmatched; the effort was seldom ever a noticeable problem.

The Lions had many options to make and questions to consider. It took a while for the Lions to decide, but general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell collaborate to make sure the team chooses the path they believe is best for it.

The Falcons and Lions are something of a mirror image of one another to start the preseason. Both clubs are looking for a franchise quarterback after parting ways with one, though it’s clear that the Lions’ timing was superior given the circumstances. Fans and draft experts who believed quarterback Desmond Ridder ought to have been on the Lions’ radar will be able to see him in a Falcons’ uniform.

The Colts and Lions will practice together twice prior to the Lions’ Week 2 preseason matchup. The Lions will get the opportunity to test themselves in those sessions against a strong opposition before playing what will probably be the season’s first dress rehearsal.

Here are the dates, timings, and locations of the three preseason games the Lions will play.

 

Game Date Time Venue
