Vikings Release 2026 Schedule

The Vikings' 2026 slate begins September 13 against the Green Bay Packers and includes notable matchups like a Monday night game against Buffalo Bills and a contest in Mexico City against the San Francisco 49ers. The team faces several challenges after a relatively quiet offseason, having parted ways with veterans Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen while trading edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to the Eagles.

Despite adding quarterback Kyler Murray, analysts predict a 9-8 finish for the Vikings, leaving them short of the NFC North crown. The team's projected win total stands at 8.5 games at FanDuel Sportsbook, with Super Bowl odds at +5000 and playoff odds at +190. With cap constraints limiting their offseason moves, Minnesota will rely on rookie defensive linemen Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange to contribute immediately. newsbetting.cv
