The Detroit Lions will host their 86th Thanksgiving Day classic, hoping to improve their overall record on the holiday of 38-45-2.

But before we can start predicting wins and losses, we need to know who their opponent will be on Thanksgiving. This year, the Lions host eight different teams at Ford Field for the 2025 NFL season: the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Cowboys, Giants, Browns, Steelers, and Buccaneers.

We already know it won’t be the Cowboys, as they host the second game on Thanksgiving every year. Thanks to another schedule leak on Monday night, we can eliminate a second team from the Thanksgiving Day classic.
