Minnesota Vikings Matchups

One page for every NFL opponent: the Vikings’ all-time series record against each team, the latest completed meeting, a list of past games and how to watch the next one. The three NFC North rivals get deeper hubs, because Minnesota plays each of them twice every season.

How to use these pages

Pick an opponent below. Before a game, a matchup page answers the questions fans usually ask in the build-up: who leads the series, when the teams last met and how that game was decided. After a game, use it to see where the latest result sits in the long-term record. Depending on how often the teams have met, an opponent page typically covers:

• Head-to-head record: the all-time series between the two clubs.
• Latest meeting: the final score, how the game was decided and the leading passing, rushing and receiving numbers.
• Series history: past meetings, with the most notable games picked out.
• How to watch: TV, streaming and radio pointers for the next meeting.

For kickoff times and TV networks, which can change under flexible scheduling, the 2026 schedule is always the most up-to-date page on this site.
