Streaming Lions on FOX 2

FOX 2 is the Home of the Lions and we proudly stream preseason Detroit Lions games but we can only do so within the designated viewing area (DMA)

Trouble Watching the Game? Check Your Location Settings

Due to NFL streaming rules, this game is only available to viewers inside our designated viewing area (DMA). We use your device’s location to verify eligibility, and sometimes location settings or network issues can cause problems.
If you’re inside the viewing area but still getting a "stream not available in your location" message, try the following:

On Web Browsers (Desktop or Laptop)

  1. Allow Location Access – Make sure your browser is allowed to share your location with our site.
  2. Disable VPN or Proxy – Virtual Private Networks, proxies, or other tools can hide your true location. Turn them off and refresh the page.
  3. Check IP Accuracy – If your internet provider is routing traffic through another city, your IP address may appear outside the DMA. Restart your modem/router to refresh your connection.

On Mobile Apps (iOS & Android)

  1. Enable Location Services – Go to your device’s Settings and confirm that location permissions for our app are set to "While Using the App" or "Always."
  2. Disable VPN or Private Relay – On iOS, go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Private Relay and turn it off. On Android, disable any active VPN.
  3. Switch to Mobile Data – If Wi-Fi is showing the wrong location, try using cellular data instead.

On Connected TVs (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Smart TVs)

  1. Restart Your Device – Sometimes a reboot helps update location info.
  2. Check Your Internet Connection – If using Wi-Fi from a different market, location may be incorrect.
  3. Disable VPN or Network Tunneling – Connected TV devices using VPNs or tunneling services may not pass accurate location.

If you’ve tried these steps and still cannot view the game, please email us at wjbkwebteam@foxtv.com with your IP address, ZIP code, and the device you’re using so we can help. You can find your IP address by searching "what is my IP address" in the Google search bar.
