The Detroit Lions' first international appearance in more than a decade will come against the New England Patriots.
Detroit and New England will face off at Germany's FC Bayern Munich Stadium on Nov. 15 at 9:30 a.m. ET, according to an announcement made Wednesday morning on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. The NFL's full international slate in 2026 includes contests in Australia, Brazil, France, London, Mexico and Spain, in addition to Germany.
The Lions last played overseas in 2015, when they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 45-10, at Wembley Stadium in London.

Aside from the bout in Germany, which will take place in Week 10, the only other game on Detroit's 2026 schedule to be confirmed is a Thursday Night Football battle versus the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 17 (Week 2). It'll be Buffalo's first game played at Highmark Stadium, which is set to open later this year. Of course, the Lions will play on Thanksgiving (Week 12), though an opponent has yet to be announced.
The NFL will reveal the full schedules for all 32 teams on NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday.
