The NFL returns in earnest Thursday night with the iconic Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio.

This year's matchup features a pair of playoff teams from a year ago: the Lions and Chargers.

Detroit has its sights set on more success following consecutive NFC North championships. And the Lions will benefit from the return of star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, a training camp standout in the wake of a fractured leg.

Meanwhile, Year 2 of the Jim Harbaugh era is underway in Los Angeles. Former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance is slated to get the start for the Chargers to begin the preseason Thursday night.

Here's everything you need to know about watching Lions vs. Chargers, including TV and live stream information for the Hall of Fame Game.
