A new NFL schedule leak suggests the Detroit Lions will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 on Thursday Night Football.
The 2026 NFL schedule may not officially drop until Thursday night, but one major Detroit Lions matchup may have already leaked early.

Bills reportedly opening new stadium against Lions The leak becomes even more intriguing because the Bills are reportedly planning to use the matchup as the grand opening of their new stadium. That means the Lions could be walking directly into one of the biggest regular-season atmospheres of the entire NFL season just two weeks into the year. A primetime matchup featuring Jared Goff and Josh Allen would instantly become one of the marquee games on the early NFL calendar.
Lions continue primetime trend Even after missing the playoffs with a 9-8 record in 2025, Detroit continues to receive major national attention. If this leak proves accurate, it would mark yet another high-profile standalone game for Dan Campbell’s team. The Lions have become one of the league’s premier television draws over the last several seasons thanks to their explosive offense, aggressive style, and growing national popularity.
