Prior to Tuesday's announcement, the league announced where each international game would take place. Three will occur in London, where the NFL began playing games in 2007. The league will also see a return to Brazil, where the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers opened their season last year.
The NFL schedule will be released at 8 p.m. Wednesday night. But we're tracking leaks and rumors for the Lions throughout the day.

The Bears have an entirely new coaching staff in 2025, so this matchup isn't going to look like last year's matchup did.
