The Detroit Lions<\/a> won’t need their passports to play football in 2025.<\/p>\n

The NFL released its slate of international games May 13 and the Lions were not listed among the teams to play an international game. There have yet to be any confirmed leaks<\/a> about the Lions regular-season schedule.<\/p>\n

The only NFC North team that will play an international game is the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>, who play back-to-back games overseas in Weeks 4 and 5. They will play the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in Dublin, Ireland on Sept. 28 and the Cleveland Browns<\/a> in London on Oct. 5, becoming the first team in NFL history to play back-to-back international games in two different countries.<\/p>\n
