The Detroit Lions' 2026 season is expected to be a big one. The team didn't change up much with regard to the makeup of their roster, but they did bring on some depth pieces by way of free agency and the draft who can contribute immediately.
Inter-divisional competition should be stiff this year, with the Minnesota Vikings landing a playable quarterback in Kyler Murray this offseason, in addition to the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears more or less running it back with their 2025 rosters. The Lions are also keeping consistent with most starters returning, save for some reshuffling on their offensive line and in their secondary.
This season already looks to be a tough one for the Lions and their quest to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history, However, a 4th-place schedule should help them to at least gain some favorable footing in the NFC North and ahead of the postseason.
