The second week of the NFL season sees the surprisingly 1-0 Detroit Lions hosting Seattle Seahawks.

The Lions scored an upset victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in week one, and they're looking to build on that victory this week as the Seattle Seahawks come to town. Geno Smith and The Seahawks were a victim of their own upset last week, as they fell 30-13 to the Los Angeles Rams.

When and where?

The Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions will face off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET or 6 p.m. BST in Detroit, Michigan at Ford Field.

How to watch Seahawks vs. Lions from anywhere

Streaming specific NFL games can be hard, especially in the 1 p.m. window on Sundays. With multiple games going on across the country, not all of them will be available in your area. If you’re in the US, you might be able to watch the game on Paramount+ so long as you live in one of the markets where CBS is broadcasting the same game. Obviously that makes it easy for the Lions fans in Detroit and Seahawks fans in Seattle to stream the game, but not so easy if you happen to be out of town for work or vacation.

We only get 17 Sundays with our favorite football teams, and maybe few more if they make the playoffs, so you never want to miss a game. That’s where a VPN can help you out. Using one of our best VPNs, like our current top-rated choice ExpressVPN, will allow you to change your location virtually, and add extra security to your internet connection.

VPNs are now incredibly simple to operate. The best VPN providers are aware that the average person can find the thought of using them intimidating and have addressed it by simplifying it down to installing the VPN (usually a button click, maybe two) and selecting a server location. We recommend ExpressVPN, but check out our best VPNs for other top options. Regardless, it's important you pick a reputable VPN provider.

ExpressVPN allows you to mask your IP address by rerouting your internet connection through global servers. To watch the Seahawks vs. Lions from anywhere: Sign up for ExpressVPN and install its app, open it and connect to a server in a region broadcasting the game, and go to a live TV streaming service showing the game in that region. You will then be able to stream the game. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out all the best VPN deals available now.
