Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers preview: Date, kick-off time, news, prediction and how to watch the NFL on DAZN

Here's everything you need to know about the Lions vs Packers in Week 1.

Lions vs Packers date, start time

All eyes will be on Micah Parsons as he suits up for his Packers debut just days after completing his blockbuster trade from the Cowboys .

He’ll join forces with breakout candidate Edgerrin Cooper and versatile safety Xavier McKinney to form a defensive trio that has the potential to give even an offense as explosive as Detroit’s plenty of problems.

That said, Jared Goff won’t be short of options. With Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs at his disposal, the Lions boast arguably the best group of skill players in the league .

For Green Bay, Jordan Love enters his fifth season, and third as the starter, hoping to spark early chemistry with rookie wideout Matthew Golden.

But standing in his way is a Detroit defense that could be among the league’s best in 2025, powered by the return of elite pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

• Date: Sunday, September 7
• Kick-off: 9.25pm BST / 4.25pm ET / 1.25pm PT

Prediction

Goff and the Lions’ offense waste no time finding their rhythm in Week 1, with Gibbs and St. Brown helping Detroit overcome Parsons' first sack in a Green Bay uniform.

Golden provides flashes of big-play ability, and running back Josh Jacobs has his chances, but the Packers still don't have enough offensive firepower to hang with their division rivals.
