In 2026, during the nine-week Michigan High School football regular season, one coach that best develops their players' character, discipline, and football skill in addition to emphasizing player health and safety in their program, will be recognized for their commitment to the team, school, and community. Each weekly winner is selected by a panel of high school football media members - Mick McCabe (retired Detroit Free Press prep writer), Hugh Bernreuter (MLive-Saginaw News), Bret Bakita (WOOD Radio-106.9 FM, 96.1 FM- The Game, Fox 17/Grand Rapids), James Cook (Traverse City Record-Eagle), Scott DeCamp, (DeCamp Creative Solutions LLC) and the Lions Executive Director of Football Education, Chris Fritzsching.
The Detroit Lions High School Football Game of the Week, presented by Sam Bernstein Law, will travel to nine different Michigan communities during the high school football season to promote and capture the excitement, enthusiasm and community pride that Michigan High School football provides.
Each week, the Lions will have a pre-game and first half activation tent including giveaways, T-shirts, contests and more. In addition, the home and away team will receive a grant of $500 for use within their football program.
Weekly matchups will be highlighted on the Detroit Lions Football Education webpage at www.DetroitLions.com/footballeducation as well as social media pages, which can be found @Lionsyouthfb on Instagram and X and at Detroit Lions Youth Football on Facebook.
