The Packers and Lions will be playing for the NFC North championship in primetime.

The New Year's Day game in Detroit originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff will now start at 8:30 p.m. ET, the NFL announced Sunday.

It will be Game 256, the final game of the 2016 regular season. Regardless of what happens in Detroit's game Monday night at Dallas (12-2), next Sunday's game between the Packers (9-6) and Lions (9-5) will decide the NFC North.

Two other games — and possibly a third — were moved.

Two other 1 p.m. kicks have been moved to 4:25 p.m. ET. The Giants (10-5) and Redskins (8-6-1) game in Washington could have playoff implications and will get the late afternoon kickoff. Though the Falcons already have wrapped up the NFC South and the Saints (7-8) have been eliminated, their game at the Georgia Dome also was pushed back from 1 to 4:25.
