The 49ers host the Lions on Monday Night Football in Week 17, and here's how fans can tune in live to the primetime showdown.

The San Francisco 49ers finish off their 2024 primetime schedule in a rematch of last season's NFC Championship game, hosting the 13-2 Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football to close out Week 17.

At 6-9, the Niners have responded in nearly the exact opposite way to heartbreak from a year ago, fully eliminated from postseason contention, whereas Detroit doesn't appear to have skipped a beat after losing to San Francisco at Levi's Stadium last January.

While both teams have dealt with an incredible amount of injuries this season, head coach Dan Campbell's group still has aspirations of making it just one more round beyond what it did earlier in 2024.

And, despite there being a scenario where Week 17 means nothing to Detroit, Campbell already stressed having no desire to rest his starters for this primetime showdown.

Speaking of, here's how fans can tune in live to Monday night's contest.
