How to watch Rams vs. Lions: Start time, TV info for NFL kickoff

The Detroit Lions will welcome the Los Angeles Rams to Ford Field as Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season continues Sunday night.

It's a rematch of last year's dramatic NFC wild-card playoff meeting, which saw the Lions break a 33-year wait for a playoff win of any kind by a 24-23 scoreline. An offense featuring Amon-Ra St. Brown found real chemistry last year with the acquisition of Jared Goff and 2023 first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs, and a run to the NFC title game means Lions fans enter this new campaign with more hope for sustained success than the team has had in years.

With two appearances in the Super Bowl in the last seven seasons, the Rams are also aiming high, meaning this might be one of the best games of Week 1. With Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams all available on offense, head coach Sean McVay will once again lean on a high-powered offense to lead his team in the competitive NFC West.

Here's what to know to catch the action between the Rams and Lions.
