The Minnesota Vikings 2026 regular season is scheduled to include nine home games and eight road games.
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 NFC East and AFC South teams that finish in the same place in their division as the Vikings finish 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 NFC West team that finishes in the same place in its division as the Vikings finish in the NFC North
An NFL rotational formula that was developed when the league expanded to 17 games will be implemented for the fifth season.
Under the formula, NFC teams play nine home games and eight road games in seasons that end with even numbers.
The schedule will again include home and away contests against division foes and use a formula that rotates to determine the other 11 matchups.
Minnesota knows all but three contests. Those remaining matchups will be determined by 2025 results.
In recent years, the NFL has consistently announced full schedules for teams in May.
