Will the Lions host a playoff game? All about Detroit's NFL playoffs schedule

The Detroit Lions are having a season to remember in 2023. Dan Campbell and his squad have secured the NFC North Division and, thus, a postseason berth.

Yes, the Detroit Lions will host a playoff game in 2024 for the first time since Ford Field was opened. The last time the Lions hosted a playoff game was on Jan. 8, 1994, when Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers ended their season at the Pontiac Silverdome.

Recent update on the NFL playoffs situation:

Following the Lions' Week 17 loss, one might not see the team host a playoff game in 2024. Their loss makes them the No. 3 seed in the NFC, making it extremely tough for the Lions to move up the table.

Unless the team regains their No. 1 seed, they won't be hosting a playoff game this season.

Lions playoffs tickets and TV schedule: Everything you need to know

It's a great time to be a Detroit Lions fan, with the franchise on the verge of a historic postseason appearance. They have been at the bottom of the NFL for the longest time, but their fortunes have improved under Dan Campbell.

The Lions are scheduled to host a wildcard round postseason game on the weekend of Jan. 13-14 or Monday Night Football on Jan.15.

Lions’ fans would be eager to cop tickets for the postseason, and unsurprisingly, the tickets are being sold for a hefty fee. According to StubHub, wildcard game tickets are available with the specification that "date and time are to be determined." The cheapest is at $508 for section 343, row 13.

It is important to note that there are currently 367 single tickets for sale on StubHub, with the costliest listed at $3,496 for a seat right at midfield in section 127, row 9.

Furthermore, paying $1,000 would get you a plush single ticket in section 123, row 8 or section 124, row 24. That row is a vantage spot in the Ford Field.
