Minnesota Vikings 2026 schedule has been released with a massive game to start the season
The 2026 NFL schedule release is finally here, and the Minnesota Vikings have a strong opening two weeks against the NFC North.
The Minnesota Vikings are in a great spot moving forward, and their 2026 schedule will show them the path toward making the playoffs.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell is entering his fifth season with the Vikings. Despite a tremendous record of 43-25, his lack of success in the playoffs with an 0-2 record leaves something to be desired. Finding success this season is going to be paramount, not just for the franchise, but also to keep him off the hot seat.
We made our predictions earlier this week, trying to see what the Vikings would do, and we don’t have to guess anymore. Here is the Vikings’ 2026 schedule.
