The NFL continues to push forward with the business-as-normal approach, and that includes the preseason. Dates and times for all four Detroit Lions preseason games were finalized this week.
Detroit will play all four AFC East teams during the 2020 exhibition season. The preseason kicks off in Massachusetts against the New England Patriots on August 13th. The 7:30 p.m. local kickoff might be played in front of no fans due to the coronavirus pandemic and the local response, however.
That’s true for the home date with the New York Jets the following week. ESPN will broadcast the 8 p.m. kickoff nationally.
A trip to Miami and a home date with the Buffalo Bills round out the schedule. There could be joint practice sessions with the Dolphins in the days leading up to the Aug. 27th game, though that has yet to be determined.
Preseason schedule
August 13, 7:30 p.m. – at New England Patriots
August 20, 8 p.m. – New York Jets
August 27, 7:30 p.m. – at Miami Dolphins
September 3, 7 p.m. – Buffalo Bills
All games will be broadcast via the Lions preseason radio and television network affiliates.
