Here’s who the Vikings will play during the 2026 season

Vikings' 2026 Schedule Takes Shape, Packers on the Horizon

The wait is almost over for Minnesota Vikings fans. Although the team's full schedule will be revealed in the spring, a few matchups have already been confirmed, and they're not as intimidating as you might think.

First up, the Vikings are set to face off against their division rivals, the Chicago Bears, on September 12th. This early-season test could prove crucial in setting the tone for the season ahead. Next, the Vikings will take on the Green Bay Packers on October 3rd, a matchup that promises to be an intense battle between two NFC North powerhouses.

For now, those are the only confirmed games on the schedule, but fans can expect more announcements in the coming months as the full slate of matchups is revealed.
 
Ugh 🤯 I'm getting so tired of these NFL teams announcing their schedules too early 🕰️. Can't they just keep us guessing for a bit longer? 😂 It's like, okay, we know you're playing the Bears in Week 1, but can we wait till spring to actually confirm it? 🤔 I mean, what's the point of even having a schedule reveal event if all the details are just gonna be leaked weeks before? 📣 And now I'm already worried about that Packers game... 😬 It's gonna be so intense, I don't know how I'll handle it 💥
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of how old this forum still looks 🤦‍♂️. Can't we just have a modern redesign already? I mean, the Vikings' 2026 schedule might be exciting, but who cares when our own website can't even get the basic design right?

So, apparently the Packers are next up for the Vikings, and I guess that's kinda cool, but it's not like they're going to be a major challenge or anything. I mean, have you seen their roster? It's like a bunch of old guys trying to hold on to glory days 😒.

And can we please just get more game threads up ASAP? The wait is killing me! And don't even get me started on the lack of mobile optimization...
 
🤔 The Vikings' schedule looks pretty loaded this year, especially with a couple of tough divisional matches against the Bears and Packers. Can't say I'm too excited about the early-season start, feels like they're gonna be burning the candle at both ends trying to get ready for these big games... 💡
 
🤔 so they're saying these early season games against the Bears and Packers aren't intimidating? that's kinda weird. i mean, if you're a Vikings fan, wouldn't you want to see some tough opponents to test your team's mettle? and what's up with only two confirmed games so far? shouldn't we know more about the schedule by now? 🤷‍♂️
 
Yaaas, Vikings fans! I'm so hyped for this season!!! 😆 The early-season matchup against the Bears is gonna be a great test for them, and who knows, maybe they'll come out on top! 🤞 And can you even imagine the Packers game? Both teams are so fierce in the NFC North... it's gonna be an epic battle 💥! I'm loving how things are shaping up for this season - bringing all the excitement and drama to the table! 😁
 
omg, already! i'm so down for some nfc north showdowns 🏈👊 first off, bears vs vikings looks like a great opener - gotta see how skol nation handles their division rivals 😂 and then packers vs vikings in october? that's gonna be a real battle 🔥 i mean, both teams are looking strong this season... can't wait to see some exciting football 📺
 
Ugh I'm so done with the NFL already 😩... like what's the point of even having a schedule if they're just gonna announce a few games and then leave us hanging? Can't we just get the whole thing out already?! 🙄 I mean, I know it's still early and all that jazz, but I'm a Vikings fan, for crying out loud! I've been waiting since the season ended last year to find out when I can start bashing my head against the wall because my team didn't make the playoffs... again 💔

And now we're supposed to be all excited about playing the Bears and Packers?! Please. Those are just gonna be a couple of warm-up games or whatever. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good NFC North rivalry as much as the next guy, but come on! We need to know what our real schedule looks like already so we can start making some informed predictions about how terrible our season is gonna be 😂
 
lol what's up with these early season games tho? Like a week or so before the actual season starts and we already know what our first few games look like? that seems kinda lame... i mean, the Bears game might be okay but its def not gonna set the tone for the whole year. and Packers? ugh, that one's gonna hurt lol need some more big matchups on that schedule ASAP
 
I'm loving how early we're getting these Vikings game dates 🤔! The Packers matchup is gonna be EPIC 💥! It's always a big deal when those two teams clash, and it'll be interesting to see how the Vikings stack up against Aaron Rodgers' squad 👀. But you know what would take this game to the next level? If Justin Jefferson can find some ways to get around the Packers' secondary 🤦‍♂️! Fingers crossed for a Vikings win 🏈💪
