Add The New York Post on Google Tonight isn’t just the first Thursday Night Football of the 2026 NFL season, it’s also the start of a brand new era in Buffalo.
The Buffalo Bills host the Detroit Lions tonight, Sept. 17, in the first regular season NFL game played in their new home.
The team is already getting used to the new Highmark Stadium as they won two preseason matchups there — a 29-14 opening victory against Carolina and an extremely close 28-27 win against Pittsburgh.
Both the Bills and the Lions are entering this week off Week 1 victories, but the Lions have an opportunity to become part of Buffalo Bills history tonight by extending their record to 2-0 and winning the first official game played at the new Highmark Stadium.
The Bills opened the season in Houston with a 36-31 victory, where Josh Allen went 20-for-29 with two touchdowns and 334 passing yards. Detroit’s home opener against New Orleans was a narrow 31-30 overtime victory thanks to a clutch two-point conversion after the team had lost a three-touchdown lead in the third quarter.
Tonight’s (Sept. 17) Lions versus Bills TNF matchup is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
