The 2025 season is officially in the books for the Minnesota Vikings, and now we know who they will face off against in 2026. Since it’s never too early to start looking forward to next season, let’s go ahead and break everything down for you here now, shall we?

Minnesota Vikings 2026 opponents

As always, the Vikings will have their annual home-and-home series against their three fellow NFC North division brethren. In 2026, they will also match up against the NFC South and the AFC East, facing all four of the teams from those two divisions.

As the third-place team in the NFC North, they will also face the third-place team from the other two NFC divisions, the NFC East (at home) and the NFC West (on the road). To round out the division, since it’s an even-numbered year, the Vikings will have a ninth home game that will see them host the third-place finisher from the AFC South.

With that, the Vikings’ 2026 opponents are as follows
