The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will open the NFL’s Thanksgiving slate at Ford Field on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET, with local and national viewing options set for the holiday matchup. Fox holds the national broadcast, and in-market fans can watch on their local Fox affiliate.
Streaming alternatives include Fox’s new platform, which carries live local games, and several live TV services that carry Fox such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream. Fans without a subscription can also access the game through free, ad-supported streams where available in certain markets or via the NFL+ mobile offering for live local and primetime games on phones and tablets.
For bettors and fantasy managers, the matchup offers several angles to monitor before kickoff. Detroit opened as slight favorites in most markets, and player props for stars like Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown drew attention after recent strong performances. Opta and other projection models provided insights on likely workloads and touchdown opportunities, information useful for live-betting and last-minute lineup moves.
Local coverage plans include pregame shows and in-depth injury updates that will shape final game-day rosters. Green Bay listed several players as questionable and ruled others out, while Detroit had its own injury questions to address. Those status reports will factor into coaching decisions on rotations and snap counts, especially on the short week.
