What channel is Packers vs. Lions on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch NFL Week 1 game image

This game is going to be a doozy.

Not only does it pit the top two teams from the NFC North against each other in the Packers and the Lions, but it will be the first time NFL fans will see Micah Parsons in a new jersey after he was traded to Green Bay from the Cowboys.

The Packers also added first-round rookie wideout Matthew Golden to an offense led by quarterback Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs.

The Lions, meanwhile, have a very similar roster but with new coaches on the sideline. Both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn took head coaching jobs elsewhere, leaving some uncertainty around Detroit's ability to repeat in 2025. But, the stars remain, including quarterback Jared Goff, running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who will return to the field for the first time after he sustained a broken leg early in the 2024 season.

Here is everything you need to know about the Packers vs. Lions, including TV and streaming options for the Week 1 NFL game.
