Next Minnesota Vikings game

The Week 1 date, kickoff time and CBS assignment are listed on the official Minnesota Vikings schedule.

What time do the Vikings play?

The next Vikings game begins at 3:25 p.m. Central Time on Sunday.

International times should be rechecked on game day, because daylight-saving differences change the conversion.

What channel is the Vikings game on?

Packers at Vikings will be televised on CBS. Viewers inside the regional broadcast area can watch through their local CBS station, which is available via traditional providers, an over-the-air antenna and live-TV streaming services carrying the local affiliate.

The final CBS coverage map determines which areas receive the game. Viewers outside the regional market may need NFL Sunday Ticket.

How to watch the Vikings game today

Television in Minnesota

The game is available on the local CBS affiliate in the Twin Cities and selected Minnesota markets. CBS can be received through cable, satellite, an over-the-air antenna, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream. Local channel availability varies by ZIP code.

Paramount+

Paramount+ can stream eligible NFL games shown by a subscriber’s local CBS station, and the subscription must include the live local CBS feed. A viewer outside the broadcast region cannot use Paramount+ to select a different CBS market.

NFL Sunday Ticket

NFL Sunday Ticket is designed for Sunday afternoon games that are not available on the viewer’s local CBS or FOX station, and it is available through YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels. Check the Week 1 coverage map first: if the local CBS station already carries the game, Sunday Ticket is unnecessary.

NFL+

NFL+ carries live local and nationally televised games on supported phones and tablets in the United States. Location and device restrictions apply, and a mobile stream may not work on a television or through casting.

Outside the United States

NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries live games in many international territories, plus replays and condensed broadcasts. Local television agreements may affect availability.

How to listen to the Vikings game

The Vikings broadcast on KFAN 100.3 FM and the Vikings Audio Network, with Paul Allen on play-by-play and Pete Bercich as analyst. Pregame coverage runs before kickoff, followed by the full game and postgame reaction.

Audio may also be available through NFL+, SiriusXM, participating Vikings Radio Network affiliates and supported iHeartRadio access, depending on location and subscription. Online radio streams can carry geographic restrictions even when the local FM broadcast is available.

Vikings game status

This page runs in five modes, matching the five states of the scoreboard at the top.

• No game today. The scoreboard names the next opponent, the date, the kickoff time and the network.
• Pregame. From six hours before kickoff the page states “The Vikings play today.” and shows a countdown.
• Live game. The heading area changes to “Minnesota Vikings Game Live” and the scoreboard carries the score, quarter, clock and possession.
• Halftime. First-half leaders are listed in passing, rushing, receiving, tackles and sacks.
• Final. The clock is replaced by FINAL, and the page links to the box score, player statistics, highlights and the recap.

Vikings vs Packers Week 1

Minnesota begins the season with an NFC North game against Green Bay, the opening fixture on the 2026 schedule. The division rivals normally play twice a season, but an opening-week meeting gives the first result extra importance, because one team immediately holds a head-to-head advantage that may affect divisional tiebreakers in the NFC North standings.

It is also the Vikings’ first regular-season appearance of 2026 and their first chance to establish a home record at U.S. Bank Stadium. The starting groups are set out on the depth chart, individual profiles are listed under players, and the quarterback room is the position battle most likely to shape the opener. Individual numbers from the most recent meeting with Green Bay are on the Packers matchup statistics page.

Today’s injury information

Speculative player availability is not published in this permanent article. The live version of this page pulls from the official game status report.

The inactive list is usually the most reliable final indication, and it replaces earlier designations once released.

Where are the Vikings playing?

Minnesota hosts Green Bay at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The indoor venue protects the game from rain, snow and wind, although weather still affects travel, parking and arrival times.

On a home game day this section covers the stadium opening time, a mobile ticket reminder, the bag policy, parking and transport, roof status, local weather and the kickoff countdown. Stadium policies are linked to the official source rather than reproduced here, so they stay current.

After the game

This page changes immediately after the final whistle. The opening section then shows the final score, the Vikings record, the opponent record, the leading passer, the leading rusher, the leading receiver, the leading tackler and the turnover total, together with a link to full player statistics, a link to official highlights, and the date and opponent for the next game, plus a short original recap.
