The Vikings (10-5) will host the Bears (7-8) at noon (CT) Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

This will be the 118th meeting between the teams and fourth consecutive season that Minnesota has hosted Chicago in Week 17.

Counterfeit Tickets

Due to high demand for the game against the Bears, the Vikings encourage all fans to be aware of potential fraudulent tickets and diligent with their ticket purchases.

The only authorized sources for Vikings tickets are on-line thru Vikings.com, Ticketmaster, NFL TicketExchange, StubHub and SeatGeek. Purchasing tickets from any other on-line source, such as Craig's List, Facebook, etc. is done at the buyer's risk and is discouraged. Additionally, PDFs, printed tickets, or screenshots are very likely fraudulent and should not be purchased.

Please note Vikings tickets are digital-only and will be transferred to recipients via the Vikings, Ticketmaster or StubHub apps. Stadium entry is done thru accessing tickets on a mobile device. Screenshots are not accepted for entry. Finally, secondary market prices can be extremely high; if a deal appears to be too good to be true, it likely is, so please remain extremely cautious with non-authorized sales sources. The selling of tickets on U.S. Bank Stadium property is illegal.

Mobile Entry

Tickets are accessible via the Vikings app or the online My Vikings Account portal and can be saved to fans' mobile devices. No hard tickets or printed PDFs are available.
