The Minnesota Vikings' 2026 season

The Minnesota Vikings play 17 regular-season games in the 2026 NFL season, 9 at home at U.S. Bank Stadium and 8 away, opening on Sep 13 and finishing on Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC North rivals. The bye falls in week 6, between Oct 11 and Oct 25 — the one week of the season with no game, and a gap in this team's row on the grid rather than a hole in the data. The longest run at home is 2 games, from Nov 29 to Dec 6; the longest run on the road is 2, from Sep 20 to Sep 27.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Minnesota Vikings' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Minnesota Vikings play next?

The Minnesota Vikings' next game is at home against the Green Bay Packers on Sep 13. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

When is the Minnesota Vikings' bye week in 2026?

Week 6, between Oct 11 and Oct 25. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.

How many games do the Minnesota Vikings play in 2026?

17 regular-season games: 9 at home at U.S. Bank Stadium and 8 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC North opponents. The playoffs are not included.

Do the Minnesota Vikings play outside North America in 2026?

Yes — one game: Estadio Banorte on Nov 22. It keeps the league's own calendar date, and the kick-off converts to your timezone like any other game on this page.

What time do the Minnesota Vikings' games start in my timezone?

Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
