The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 16-3 on Sunday to finish the 2025 regular season 9-8, and on a five-game win streak. They won’t be in the NFC Playoffs, but we now know who their 2026 opponents will be.

The Vikings will have a third-place schedule with nine home games and eight road games next year for the 2026 regular season. Minnesota is going to need a better and healthier season out of quarterback J.J. McCarthy to take a step forward, but at least he can say that he won his last four starts of this season.

On December 18, a Detroit Lions player criticized the NFL for scheduling a Christmas game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The full NFL schedule won't be released until May, but you can find out the 2026 opponents for each team right now.

The Minnesota Vikings will head into the 2026 offseason with a five-game winning streak under their belt. They battled back from 4-8 on the season to finish 9-8 and prove that, regardless of the quarterback play, this defense in its current form can help them overcome a lot.
