Detroit Lions’ first 2 preseason games will be nationally televised

If you’re an out-of-state Detroit Lions fan eager to see the beginning of the Dan Campbell era, you may be bummed preseason games are typically only regionally televised. But worry no longer. On Monday, the NFL announced that NFL Network will carry 23 preseason games live on their network, and the Lions will be included in two of those games.

On Friday, August 13, the Lions’ preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills will be nationally televised to kick off a double header on NFL Network (Cowboys vs. Cardinals at 10 p.m. ET). The following week, NFL Network will carry Detroit’s one away preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, August 21 at 7:30 p.
