2026 Minnesota Vikings Season Schedule
The Minnesota Vikings finished the 2025 season at 9-8, narrowly missing the playoffs but showing strong resilience, especially in NFC North rivalry games. Minnesota went 4-2 in the division, including a season sweep of the Detroit Lions and a split with both the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, proving competitive within one of the league’s toughest divisions. The Vikings displayed flashes of offensive explosiveness (48 points against the Cincinnati Bengals) but struggled to be consistent against elite AFC and NFC contenders like the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles. Their season featured international exposure (Ireland, London) and multiple national TV appearances across FOX, CBS, NBC/Peacock, ESPN, and Prime Video. Despite a midseason slump, Minnesota closed strong with key wins over playoff-caliber teams, highlighting its potential. Heading into 2026, the Vikings project as a legitimate Wild Card contender, with division success and improved consistency likely determining whether they can return to the postseason.
