The Detroit Lions' offseason is in full swing now that the NFL Draft and free agency are out of the way. From this point on, it's all about making the 90-man roster as good as it can be via OTAs, workouts, and training camp.
One key offseason aspect is hurling itself towards us over the coming weeks, as well, and that's the NFL's schedule release. We already know the Lions' 2024 opponents, but when and where they play the opposition is far more valuable then simply knowing who they play.
So, let's not waste any more time and go over everything we currently know about the Lions' 2024 schedule, and more.

Biggest Games
The NFC North games: This divsion is going to be a fun one this year. For the first time since 1994, the Lions are defending a championship. Now these games that already meant so much, mean even more now.
Lions vs Rams: I mean there is just no way that this isn't a primetime game right? This thing has Monday night football written all over it. Especially after the wildcard game was watched by so many and the game was easily the best of that round. Don't forget the storylines either. This thing is full of them.
Lions vs 49ers: A rematch of the NFC Championship game and a potential preview of next years NFC Championship game. This is another one that could be in prime time. The Lions are likely to be looking for revenge in this one.
Primetime Matchups And Thanksgiving
The Lions have five primetime games in 2024. They'll start the season off with a rematch of their Wild Card game with the Rams on Sunday Night Football. They'll be back on Sunday night against Texans in Week 10.
They have two Monday night games. One against the Seahawks and then a huge one against the 49ers in Week 17. A game that could very well have seeding implications.
Then the Lions will be on Thursday Night Football on the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field.
Speaking of Thursday, the Lions will take on NFC North rivals the Bears on Thanksgiving. This should be an interesting one with first overall pick Caleb Williams coming to town. The Lions are looking for their first Thanksgiving win since 2016, can they get it here?
Revenge Games on the Lions' 2024 schedule
Matthew Stafford vs Detroit part two: This cat is going to be coming back again and he's going to want to embarrass the Lions after things didn't work out last year. He's bringing another former Lion in with him in Jonah Jackson.
Baker Mayfield: The last pass that Mayfield threw last year was to Derrick Barnes. He probably wants to come out and make sure he plays his best against the Lions after both games in 2022 didn't work out.
Lions vs Cowboys: The Lions are going to be seeking some revenge as well. They didn't lose to the Cowboys in 2023. They had a game stolen from them. While the Cowboys can't control officiating, this always seems to happen against them. Now it's time to just go out and beat them straight up.
Carlton Davis vs Bucs: The Bucs decided that trading Davis was better than playing him what he's owe. Now he has a chance to show the Bucs what they're missing out on.
4 Must-watch Matchups
Justin Jefferson vs Carlton Davis: The Lions have a real number one cornerback now and he says that he's going to stop evert teams WR1. Well, here's your shot to really make a splash.
Nick Bosa vs Penei Sewell: Last year Sewell kept Bosa quiet in the NFC Championship game. Can he do it again?
Lions secondary vs everyone: The Lions have a brand new unit in their secondary and the one thing that everyone is going to be looking for is how well this is going to go. Every week is going to be a must-watch.
Amon-Ra St. Brown vs L'Jarius Snead: The Titans got their new CB1. Let's see how the Sun God plays against him in this matchup at Ford Field.
