On Nov. 27, the Packers head to Ford Field in Detroit for a time-honored tradition that both sides are familiar with. Not only is the Wisconsin-based team playing its third-straight Turkey Day game in a row, but they're tied with the Chicago Bears for the third-most played in NFL history.

But the Packers' 39 Thanksgiving games (with a 16-20-2 record) pale in comparison to the Lions' 85 Thanksgiving games (38-45-2), per NBC 5. This matchup also marks the 23rd time that the teams have played each other on the holiday.

In addition to watching fan-favorite players like Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown battle it out on the field, viewers can also look forward to a heart-pumping halftime performance from Jack White. CeCe Winans will kick off the game by singing the national anthem.

Here’s everything to know about how to watch the Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving Day 2025.
