Get the NFL app. Set notifications for the Detroit Lions. It will literally scream at you: “GAME TIME CHANGED! NOW 4:25 PM!” It’s annoying, but it works.
Or, follow the Lions’ official social media. They post the time with a meme of a lion eating a clock. Very professional. Very funny.
Also, check ESPN’s website each Tuesday. That’s when they announce Sunday’s times. If you miss it, you might show up at noon for a 4 PM game. Done that. Brought a book.
The "Primetime Curse" is a Joke Now
For years, Lions fans dreaded prime time. We’d lose horribly. Embarrassingly. But now? We’re good. Suddenly, a Sunday Night Football game is must-see TV. You want to know the time because you’re planning a watch party. That’s a luxury problem.
Remember that 2026 game against the Seahawks? Started at 1 PM. Ended at 4:30 PM with a field goal miss chaos. Time meant nothing. Emotions meant everything.
