The upcoming 2022 National Football League schedule is set to be revealed this week.

On Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET, the league will reveal each teams' opponents and the week of each matchup.

Also, two hours before the big reveal at 6 p.m. ET, each team will announce its first home opponent.

NFL Network's coverage typically includes a thorough breakdown of the regular season schedule, division by division, analyzing the top matchups and primetime games.

The Detroit Lions will not play any games this season outside of the United States, as they have been left off the slate of international games that were previously announced.

CBS will be the television network that broadcasts the Lions’ Thanksgiving game this year.

Michael North, the vice president of NFL broadcast planning, recently discussed the likelihood of the Lions playing an AFC team on Thanksgiving in 2022.

“This year, in Detroit, we know they’re hosting Miami and Buffalo for the AFC games, and Detroit is going to be on CBS this year,” North said. “So, right now, your choices for Thanksgiving in Detroit are Miami or Buffalo. Whichever one of those you choose is going to take you down a path of the search tree that is going to be very, very different.”
