With the days until the start of camp dwindling and plenty of anticipation for this year's Lions team, buzz is high for the beginning of the new season. The Lions will have a new look with two new coordinators, but plenty of their top talents remain on roster.

Rookies will report to training camp on Wednesday, July 16, while veterans are scheduled to report on Saturday, July 12.

Detroit's first open training camp practice is set for July 26 for season-ticket holders and July 28 for the general public. With camp approaching fast, here's everything you need to know about Lions training camp in 2025.
