Canadian fans of the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions who want to see their NFL team in a playoff game will have the opportunity to do so this weekend.
The Detroit Lions will host the Washington Commanders in an NFC divisional matchup at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday night.
After defeating the Denver Broncos in the AFC wildcard round, the Bills are scheduled to face the Baltimore Ravens in a conference divisional game on Sunday in Orchard Park, New York.
Detroit and Buffalo — a short trip for those who live in southern Ontario — have a chance to win the Super Bowl this year. The Bills have been a potential contender the past few seasons, while last year the Lions emerged as a team to be reckoned with.
Here’s a look at each team’s matchup, plus ticket prices for those who want to attend in person:
After earning the top seed in the NFC with a 15-2 record in the regular season, the Lions had a rest weekend and will begin their Super Bowl quest against the sixth-seeded leaders.

The Lions are hoping to make another playoff run after advancing to the NFC Championship Game last season, but losing to the San Francisco 49ers. This was the Lions’ first playoff appearance since the 2017 season.
Washington’s win over the third-seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wildcard saved Detroit from a rematch with Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams, or a third-seeded game against NFC North rival Minnesota.
The Lions are also new to the leaders, who have won five in a row – each time on a last-minute or last-second play. However, Detroit is the favorite to win the game and is a nine-point favorite, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
As of publication date, the price of a single ticket for the game on Stubhub, a secondary resale site, is between $700 CAD and $5,800 CAD. The cheapest ticket will put you at the top of Ford Field, while the most expensive ticket will put you in the front row behind the Lions bench.
Stubhub also shows which tickets are selling for more, but seat information is not available.
The Bills are looking to return to the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2020, but the Baltimore Ravens — led by star quarterback Lamar Jackson — will stand in the way.
The Ravens moved into the divisional round with a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night.
Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP, completed 16 of 21 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns against Pittsburgh. He also ran for 81 yards on 15 carries. Allen was 20 of 26 for 272 yards and two touchdowns against Denver. He ran for 46 yards.
The two teams met in Baltimore in Week 4, with the Ravens dominating the Bills 35-10. BetMGM Sportsbook considers the Bills to be a slight underdog by one point.
As of publication date, the price of a single ticket to the game on Stubhub is between $200 CAD and $4,500 CAD. The cheapest ticket will put you in the top row of the upper court at Highmark Stadium, while the most expensive ticket will put you in the front row on the middle deck of the stadium. A front row seat ticket in the lower bowl is selling for $1,338 CAD on Stubhub as of publication date.
