If you’re looking to catch the Lions-Packers showdown, you’ve got several reliable options to ensure you don’t miss a single play of this classic NFC North rivalry.
Broadcast TV Options
The easiest way to watch is through your local FOX affiliate, as they typically carry most Lions and Packers games when they’re playing each other. Just make sure you’re in the broadcast region – this usually covers Michigan, Wisconsin, and surrounding states in the Midwest.
Streaming Services
If you’ve cut the cord, don’t worry – there are plenty of streaming options available:
• NFL+ ($6.99/month): Perfect if you’re planning to watch on your mobile device
• YouTube TV ($72.99/month)
• Hulu + Live TV ($69.99/month)
• FuboTV ($74.99/month)
Game Day Pro Tips
Here’s a insider tip: sign up for a free trial of any of these streaming services just before the game. Most offer 7-day trials, but just remember to cancel if you don’t plan to keep the service. I’ve used this strategy myself during crucial games!
Sports Bars and Public Viewing
Sometimes the best way to experience a rivalry game is with fellow fans. If you’re in Detroit or Green Bay, you’ll find plenty of sports bars showing the game. In Detroit, check out establishments like Sports & Social Detroit or Nemo’s Bar. If you’re in Green Bay, Stadium View Bar & Grille is always electric on game day.
International Viewing Options
For our friends outside the US, NFL Game Pass International is your best bet. It’s a bit pricier but gives you access to every NFL game throughout the season. Just be aware that you’ll need a VPN if you’re trying to access it from within the United States.
Backup Plans
Always have a backup plan ready. I learned this the hard way during last season’s playoff game when my primary streaming service crashed. Download your streaming app of choice beforehand and test your connection. If you’re using cable or antenna, check your signal strength well before kickoff.
Remember that game times can vary, so double-check the schedule closer to game day. By 2025, we might even see new streaming options emerge, but these current choices should have you covered for this classic matchup between two of the NFL’s most storied franchises.
