The 2025 Hall Of Fame Game Will Feature The Lions Against The Chargers
It always marks the beginning of the NFL preseason games. And serves as a reminder that the start of the regular season is just around the corner. And today the Pro Football Hal of Fame announced the details about this year’s affair. The 2025 Hall of Fame Game will feature the Detroit Lions against the Los Angeles Chargers with the Lions hosting the Chargers. The game, presented by Novartis, will be at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, July 31, in Canton as part of Enshrinement Week presented by Novartis.
The matchup, which kicks off the National Football League’s 106th season in the city where the League was born, will take place in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium — adjacent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. NBC Sports will return as broadcast partner, airing the game live on NBC and Peacock with Mike Tirico (play-by-play). Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) and Terry McAulay (rules analyst) as the on-air crew in Canton.
“This game features two teams that can be considered legitimate contenders to reach Super Bowl LX next February,” said Jim Porter, president & CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “For them to face each other right out of the gate in Canton, Ohio, should create a dynamic opening to another spectacular NFL season.”
This year’s class was a small one with only four former players being selected. They are Antonio Gates, Eric Allen, Jared Allen and Sterling Sharpe. All of the 2025 class members will be introduced on the field prior to the opening kickoff. The four will receive their Gold Jackets the following evening in downtown Canton and will be enshrined Saturday, Aug. 2, inside Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
