Today’s Lions game — quick channel map
Open the day’s slot first, then read the channel:
- Sunday early afternoon (1pm ET kickoff): default NFC network. Cross-flex week (vs. AFC opponent): AFC network instead.
- Sunday late afternoon (4pm ET): NFC network late window. Some marquee weeks the Lions land here.
- Sunday night (8pm ET): the major Sunday-night broadcaster. Lions earn primetime regularly with their NFC North rivalries.
- Monday night: the primary cable home of MNF.
- Thursday night: the streaming-platform primary + the simulcast cable network.
- Thanksgiving Day (12:30pm ET): the major NFC network — Detroit hosts the early Thanksgiving game annually.
How Slam Dunk Zone covers every cell on that grid
The reason the SDZ lineup works for Lions fans: it includes the major NFC over-the-air network, the major AFC over-the-air network, the major Sunday-night broadcaster, the primary MNF cable home, and the TNF simulcast cable network. That’s every cell on the channel map above, minus the streaming-platform-only TNF games — and those are simulcast on the cable network for the games that get the simulcast.
One IPTV membership at $39.95/mo flat replaces a $185/mo cable bundle, replaces an $82.99/mo streaming bundle, and replaces the dedicated TNF streaming subscription on top of either of those.
