ALLEN PARK, MICH. ~ 2026 NFL training camp for the Detroit Lions is set to begin tomorrow as the rookies will look to impress coaches over the first few days at the Meijer Performance Center. Veterans will report on Tuesday, July 28.
Training camp will run until Aug. 27 and will look a little different than last year. Detroit will not be holding any joint practices this preseason, which is the first time the Lions haven’t participated in a practice with a different team in training camp since head coach Dan Campbell’s first year in 2021.
The first day of camp open to Lions Loyal Members will come on Sunday, Aug. 2, while the first session open to the general public will be Monday, Aug. 3. Tickets for training camp have already sold out on the Lions’ website.
