Now that the 2022 regular season is over, one of the things we’ve learned is the full slate of opponents for the Detroit Lions in the 2023 campaign.
The NFC North draws the AFC West and NFC South in the full divisional crossover matchups. All four teams in the NFC North will play each of the four teams in those two divisions.
Detroit’s 9-8 record finished second in the NFC North. As a result, the Lions draw the second-place teams from the AFC North and NFC West by the predetermined NFL scheduling methodology. Like all NFC teams, the Lions will have one more road game than home date in 2023 in the 17-game schedule.
The full sequence of the games won’t be determined until after the 2023 NFL, with dates and times to follow as well. But these are the 14 teams the Lions will play in 2023:
Home: Bears, Packers, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Raiders, Seahawks
Away: Bears, Packers, Vikings, Chiefs, Chargers, Saints, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Ravens
