Detroit Lions Schedule for 2024: Finished Home/Away Matchups

Detroit Lions schedule for 2024: Finalized Home/Away Opponents
That concludes the matter! We can now officially conclude the 2023 NFL regular season and turn our attention to the NFL Playoffs. That being said, we now have a clear idea of the opponents the Detroit Lions will face in 2024. As we witnessed with the unveiling of this year’s schedule on May 11th, the exact week-by-week lineup won’t be known until the spring of 2023. However, now that the 2023 standings have been determined, we can clearly see who the Lions will play both at home and away.

How will the Detroit Lions 2024 schedule be created?

Before we look at who the 2024 Detroit Lions’ home/away opponents will be, let’s take a look at how the opponents are determined.

Each NFL team will play a 17-game regular-season schedule that will include one bye week. Teams in the AFC and NFC will alternate seasons in which they have 9 home regular-season games and one home preseason game, or 8 away regular-season games and two away preseason games. The NFC will have eight regular-season home games in the 2024 season. This means the Lions will play nine home games and eight road games in 2024.

Here is the breakdown of how the opponents are determined: Via NFL Operations:

• • Six games against divisional opponents — two games per team, one at home and one on the road.

• Four games against teams from a division within its conference — two games at home and two on the road.
• Four games against teams from a division in the other conference— two games at home and two on the road.
• Two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference — one game at home and one on the road. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.
• The 17th game is an additional game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.

  Since the Lions finished in first place in the NFC North, they will play the No. 1 team from the NFC South (The Tampa Bay Buccaneers), the AFC East (The Buffalo Bills), and the NFC East (Dallas Cowboys).

  Note: Since the Lions haven’t played an international game since the 2015 season, one of the home games on the schedule below is probably going to be an international match.
