4 Reasons Detroit Lions 2026 NFL Schedule Is Very Promising
The Detroit Lions schedule is now officially available to review and examine.
While Dan Campbell’s squad is playing a fourth-place schedule, the ending stretch, which features three division games in four weeks on the road, presents the roster their biggest challenge.
Early in the season, there are opportunities to secure a handful of victories, as the opponents are coming off disappointing 2025 seasons.
Here are four reasons the Lions 2026 NFL schedule can end up being beneficial to Campbell’s squad.
Early portion of schedule is favorable
In the first five weeks, the Lions only play one team, the Buffalo Buffalo Bills, that was able to secure a playoff victory last season.
Detroit opens up against a Saints team that is still in the early phases of a new regime. Campbell should be quite familiar with the Jets and will have the Lions in prime position to take advantage of knowing how Aaron Glenn operates.
The Arizona Cardinals are not favored to win a single game on their 2026 schedule.
Bills game is early in the season
Typically, it takes NFL teams about three to four games to get fully acclimated at the start of a new season.
Buffalo will be still learning how new head coach Joe Brady likes to operate in his new role leading the team.
Facing Buffalo in Week 2 should give Detroit an opportunity to take advantage of any early season woes that are inherent when a team hires new coaches and brings in new players.
Lions have opportunity to win all games at Ford Field this season
Detroit’s first two division games take place at Ford Field. Following an early bye in Week 6, the team faces the Packers and Vikings just before the halfway mark of the season.
The game against the New England Patriots to set to take place in Germany. Detroit’s home slate features many winnable games and will provide fans the opportunity to celebrate after the conclusion of 60 minutes of action.
Lions road schedule is not daunting outside of division games
Detroit will face their fair share of challenges against division rivals. But when the team packs up their bags and heads on the road, they are favored in the majority of road games.
The Bills game is the most challenging on paper, as the Lions are also scheduled to face the Falcons, Cardinals, Panthers and Dolphins away from Ford Field.

5 years after her killing, Aniya Allen’s grandfather is returning to peace activism
Monday will mark five years since the tragic killing of 6-year-old Aniya Allen in Minneapolis.
Family says it’s a loss that will never heal.
“I went from anger to being heartbroken, “said KG Wilson.
Allen, 6, was hit by a stray bullet. It was the second of three child shootings in a three-week span that shook Minneapolis.
After that, Allen’s grandfather walked away from his well-known role as an advocate for peace. Now five years later, he’s ready to push for change again.
“I’m coming out of a mask of tears, hurt, anger and grief,” said Wilson.
The pain of losing a granddaughter continues to hurt his soul.
“I cannot believe that human beings can hold in a secret of somebody who shoots and kills an innocent child,” Wilson said.
The person who shot and killed Allen has not been found. In February, William Burton was sentenced for straw purchasing dozens of guns, including one used in the shooting of Allen.
For years, he stood on street corners, helping families searching for justice after their loved ones were taken by gun violence.
When Allen was murdered, he left that work and left Minneapolis.
His pain turned to anger.
Sitting on the bench where he announced his retirement five years ago, Wilson has turned his anger into action.
“So much grief and so much anger still, but I decided to, instead of just sitting, to channel it into something positive and productive. I’ll be coming up out of retirement after five years it won’t be in Minneapolis, but it will be in St. Paul,” said Wilson.
Wilson wants to help, anyway he can, to stop the violence and save lives.
Working in Minneapolis is too painful for him, his focus now is on the capital.
“I couldn’t save the life of Trinity or Aniya. I couldn’t save LaDavionne from getting shot. None of those three children, but maybe I can come back out of retirement and save somebody’s child or their grandchild and that’s my mission and it will all be in memory of Aniya.”
A $180,000 reward is still being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction in Allen’s killing.
Wilson is planning an Angel-versary celebration for Allen on Monday. Family and friends will gather at Lakewood Cemetery at 4:30 p.m. for a memorial to include a ballon launch. Everyone is invited.
