Detroit Lions launch sold‑out 2026 training camp at Meijer Performance Center

The Detroit Lions began their 2026 training camp on July 29 at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park, Michigan. All public viewing tickets sold out, and fans with tickets receive access to food trucks, ice‑cream, giveaways, photo opportunities with cheerleaders and team legends, and a chance for Cub Club members to participate in a pre‑practice helmet handoff. The camp schedule runs from late July through mid‑August, with free parking in designated lots and a shuttle service from nearby Fairlane Circle.

Rookie right tackle Blake Miller, the No. 17 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, reported a strong start at camp, spending most of his practice time with the first‑team offense. He said veteran lineman Ben Bartch advised him to treat early career challenges like a game of whack‑a‑mole, focusing on one issue at a time. Miller praised the guidance as helping him adjust to the NFL’s pace.
