Where to Watch Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings
← Where to Watch: every Vikings viewing guide
Sunday 13 September 2026 · U.S. Bank Stadium · Final: Vikings 39, Packers 22 · Updated 16 September 2026
CBS has the game
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings was shown on CBS on Sunday, 13 September 2026, with kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium at 3.25pm CDT. In the Twin Cities, the game aired on WCCO. Minnesota won 39-22 to open the season 1-0; the Week 1 recap and box score has the details. The viewing notes below are kept for reference.
To find it, open the programme guide for the CBS station your provider carries and go to Sunday afternoon. Everywhere outside the Twin Cities, that means the CBS station serving your own address rather than WCCO. Channel positions are set by each cable and satellite provider and differ by area, so take the number from your own guide rather than a general list. Watching over the air is possible where a local CBS signal reaches you, but that depends on your address, your aerial and conditions on the day, so test it before Sunday rather than assuming it.
Pregame is on a different channel. FOX 9's morning Vikings programme is pregame coverage. The live game itself is on CBS, so do not settle on FOX 9 expecting kickoff.
Streaming Packers vs Vikings on Paramount+
Paramount+ carries the local CBS NFL game, which makes it a route to this match wherever the local CBS feed is the one showing Packers at Vikings. That condition is the whole of it: the service follows your local CBS assignment rather than offering every game on the schedule.
In practice, sign in, find the live NFL event and check that the listing actually names Packers at Vikings before you settle in. Plan requirements and supported devices change, so read the current terms on Paramount+ live TV and confirm the device you intend to watch on is covered. No particular tier is named here, because that is the sort of detail worth reading at the point of purchase rather than taking from an article.
If you already pay for a television streaming service that carries your local CBS channel, you may not need anything new at all. YouTube's official NFL viewing guide sets out local CBS coverage through its relevant TV plans, and lists Paramount+ separately as a Primetime Channel. Buying through another platform and subscribing directly are different arrangements, with different accounts and different places to cancel, so check which one you are actually signing up for.
Sunday's kickoff
3.25pm CDT in Minnesota and Wisconsin · 4.25pm EDT · 1.25pm PDT
All three are the same moment on 13 September 2026. Pregame programming starts earlier than kickoff, so the time in your listings may not be the time the ball is in the air. For a game happening right now, try today's Vikings game.
If your CBS station is showing another game
CBS carries several games in the same window and splits them between markets, so the station near you may be showing a different matchup. The team's dated viewing announcement carries the coverage map for this game, and your own provider guide will confirm what is actually scheduled at your address. Read both before deciding you cannot watch, and check the Vikings schedule if you are not certain which meeting you are looking for, since the teams play twice.
If your local channels are showing something else, NFL Sunday Ticket becomes relevant. It covers eligible Sunday afternoon games that are not being televised locally, and games shown on your own local channels are excluded from it. The standalone purchase through YouTube does not require a main YouTube TV plan. Whether it applies to you turns on your location and the actual assignment for the day, not on which team you follow or which state you live in. The official Sunday Ticket availability guidance sets out the eligibility rules.
