Another piece of the Detroit Lions<\/a>‘ 2026 schedule has crystallized.<\/p>\n The Lions are hosting the New England Patriots<\/a> in Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season from FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Munich, Germany. As previously reported<\/a>, it will be part of a FOX triple-header and kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 15.<\/p>\n The Lions last met the Patriots on Oct. 9, 2022, in Foxborough, Mass., from Gillette Stadium. Bailey Zappe, Rhamondre Stevenson and Jakobi Meyers led the way in a 29-0 Patriots shutout victory over the Lions. Detroit trails the all-time series against New England, 8-5.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Lions<\/a>‘ trip to Munich will mark the franchise’s third international game. Detroit played at Wembley Stadium in London in back-to-back seasons in 2014 and 2015. The Lions beat the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, 22-21, on Oct. 26, 2014. Then, on Nov. 1, 2015, the Lions fell to the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0in London, 45-10.<\/p>\n In its first international game, then-Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for 325 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Detroit rallied from a 21-0 halftime deficit to down the Falcons.
