Vikings 2025 Schedule Preview: Eagles, Chargers, Lions, Ravens in Weeks 7-10

The Vikings 2025 schedule — along with some fresh ink — was unveiled Wednesday.

Following one of the most unique five-game stretches in franchise history and a Week 6 bye, the next four Vikings opponents in 2025 combined to go 52-16 in the 2024 regular season.

The run starts with a home game against the defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles and is quickly followed by a Thursday Night Football game at the L.A. Chargers. Minnesota will stay on the road to visit the Lions before returning home to host the Ravens.

We've taken a look at intriguing player matchups in non-division matchups and offered 10 takeaways.

Now, we'll continue our four-part installment with Weeks 7-10 (games 6-9).

This current stretch is the first time Minnesota has lost four consecutive games at Detroit since the first four seasons of the Vikings franchise (1961-64).

2025 Status

Head Coach: John Harbaugh (172-104 in 17 seasons with Ravens and 13-11 in postseason)

Key additions in free agency/via trade: Receiver DeAndre Hopkins, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, backup quarterback Cooper Rush

Key departures in free agency/via trade: Guard Patrick Mekari, cornerbacks Brandon Stephens and Tre'Davious White, safeties Ar'Darius Washington and Marcus Williams

Icebreaking Storyline

Baltimore will be making just its third trip to Minnesota, and the Vikings will try to improve to 3-0 when hosting the NFL's other purple team. More of a coincidence than a correlation, but the Vikings followed home wins over the Ravens (2009 and 2017) by advancing to the NFC Championship.
