Detroit Lions fans will now be able to attend select away games thanks to new nonstop flights through Delta Air Lines at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. The airline will offer roundtrip tickets to five Lions away games, as well as one University of Michigan away game. Lions season tickets are sold out for the 2025-2026 season, and single tickets are limited. The move will allow fans to watch their team at stadiums across the country more easily.

“We’re excited to offer these flights to fans for what we hope will be another winning season of Lions football,” said Tory Richardson, President and CEO, Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority. “With home games at Ford Field in high demand, our partners at Delta are making it easier than ever for West Michiganders to catch the Lions in action at five exciting away game destinations. Delta has also added a special opportunity for Wolverines to see their team at an early game in Oklahoma. We appreciate Delta’s continued investment in our community and can’t wait to touch down across the country for the Detroit Lions.”

University of Michigan at Oklahoma, departing Sept. 5 returning Sept. 7

“From kickoff to the final down, Delta is making it easier than ever for Detroit fans to get in on the action – with new, nonstop routes in Grand Rapids and extra capacity for key games,” said Amy Martin, Vice President North America Network Planning, Delta. “We know our Michigan customers love their teams, so we have timed these flights to make it faster and easier to get them to the games that matter most.”
