2026 Opponents
The Minnesota Vikings 2026 regular season is scheduled to include nine home games and eight road games.
Most of the schedule had been decided before Week 18 because of divisional doubleheaders and rotational matchups, but three 2026 opponents were not finalized until the 2025 regular-season finale.
Minnesota defeated Green Bay 16-3 and finished third in the NFC North, a half-game behind the Packers, who previously had secured the NFC’s No. 7 seed.
Vikings Home Opponents: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers of the NFC North; Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers of the NFC South; Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins of the AFC East; the Washington Commanders of the NFC East and the Indianapolis Colts of the AFC South (Washington and Indianapolis finished in the same place in their divisions as the Vikings finished in the NFC North)
Vikings Road Opponents: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers of the NFC North; New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFC South; New England Patriots and New York Jets of the AFC East; the San Francisco 49ers of the NFC West (determined by divisional order of finish)
