FAQs: Lions vs Vikings
Where can I watch Lions vs. Vikings on December 21?
The game streams exclusively on Netflix. You won't find it on NBC, Fox, ESPN, or ABC — Netflix has it all to itself. That means you need to be a Netflix subscriber to watch. There is no traditional TV broadcast for this one.
Is the game available anywhere besides Netflix?
In the Detroit and Minneapolis TV markets, Fubo carries the game as a local option. Outside those two markets, Netflix is the only way to watch. Fubo does offer a free trial, so fans in those cities who aren't already Fubo subscribers can check that out.
When does the Lions vs. Vikings game kick off?
The game is scheduled for Sunday, December 21. Based on available details, it is a Week 16 matchup of the NFL season. The Lions entered the game at 5-2 through the first part of the season, and the Vikings were in the mix as well, making this a meaningful NFC North showdown.
What happened in the game?
The Vikings won, 29-24, knocking the Lions out of playoff contention. Detroit quarterback Jared Goff had a rough outing — he threw two interceptions and lost three fumbles. Minnesota won despite rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, in just his second career start, finishing the game with only three net passing yards.
Is this a regular-season game?
Yes, Lions vs. Vikings on December 21 is a regular-season NFL game. It falls in Week 16 of the season, late in the schedule when playoff positioning is still very much on the line for both teams.
