The Detroit Lions will host the Washington Commanders at Ford Field on Saturday for their second preseason matchup of the 2026 season. Quarterback Josh Dobbs is slated to start the game, with rookie Luke Altmyer expected to share playing time throughout the contest. Head coach Dan Campbell has indicated the team will deploy a substantial portion of its starting roster, though he refrained from disclosing the complete roster plan.
Local viewers in the Detroit area can tune in to the game on Fox 2 Detroit (WJBK) starting at noon ET on Saturday, August 22. The broadcast team will include play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti, color analyst T.J. Lang, and sideline reporter Patti Cesarini reporting from Ford Field.
Fans outside the Detroit market have the option to stream the matchup through an NFL+ subscription service, which provides access to out-of-market preseason games across multiple devices including televisions, computers, phones, and tablets. Monthly subscriptions are available for $6.99, while annual memberships cost $39.99.
Radio listeners can follow the action on the Detroit Lions Radio Network, where play-by-play announcer Dan Miller will be joined by color analyst Lomas Brown for coverage of the preseason contest.
