It’s going to be another early morning for fans of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, as their team will play their second consecutive game on European soil. The purple will face off against the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in their final game before their Week 6 bye week. If you want to follow along with all of the action, we’ll be giving you all the ways that you can do that right here.
Kickoff for this one is going to be earlier than we’re used to, with the festivities set to get away at 8:30 AM Central on Sunday morning. That’s about 2:30 in the afternoon Dublin time. This game will be broadcast on the NFL Network, and because we’re apparently being punished for some reason, the team of Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma in the booth. Now, if you’re in the Twin Cities metro area, you’ll be able to find this game on KMSP-9, and if you’re a Vikings fan in the Cleveland area you can see it on WEWS-5. Other than that, the NFL Network is your source.
For our men and women in uniform serving our country overseas. . .well, to be honest with you, I don’t know if you’re going to be able to see this one or not. Thanks to the government shutdown, the American Forces Network is limited in what it’s able to do. AFN Sports is still on the air for now, and I would assume that they’d be airing this game since it’s the only game on at the time it kicks off, but I don’t know for sure. If they do, like last week, the game is set to kick off at 1330Z, which works out to 1530L for viewers in Central Europe, 1630L for those on Arabian Time, and 2230L for fans in Japan and Korea.
If you’re going to be traveling or just prefer to listen to things through the magic of radio, we have updated our list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates for this season. Wherever you are in the upper Midwest, you should be covered.
If you have satellite radio, you can catch the Vikings feed on Channel 380. You can also get the national feed from Westwood One on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Channel 88. If you’re utilizing the SiriusXM app, you can listen on the Vikings’ permanent home there, which is Channel 820.
According to Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this one will be headed up by Scott Novak. Oddly enough, the last time the Vikings saw Novak’s crew was also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, as his crew handled the Vikings’ 23-17 victory over the New York Jets in last year’s trip overseas. Hopefully he’ll be able to see the same result up close this time around as well.
This game is going to be played in the elements, but much like last week in Dublin the...
