There is rarely a dull moment during the Minnesota Vikings offseason these days. That was again the case Wednesday night, when the official 2025 MN Vikings schedule dropped as scheduled, at 7:00 PM CDT, revealing a new regular season slate that had already leaked long before it became official tonight.
Prior to today’s official release, news broke that the Vikings will become the first NFL team to ever play back-to-back international games in a season. Then this morning, we even found out that they’ll be hanging out on Netflix for us Christmas Day, too.
Official 2025 Minnesota Vikings schedule + release video
Last season, the Minnesota Vikings hosted nine home games, although one took place in London against the New York Jets. This season, they will play eight home games, all of which will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium. Their nine road games include neutral site contests at Croke Park (Dublin, Ireland) and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, United Kingdom).
The new look Vikings also have a whopping seven nationally televised games on the schedule. That’s clearly a reflection of a team that won 14 games last year. But without further ado, here’s the Minnesota Vikings schedule release video you’ve all been waiting for… along with the full official 2025 MN Vikings schedule directly below.

Notables on the 2025 Vikings schedule
The Minnesota Vikings 2025 NFL regular season schedule has plenty of intrigue. Two primetime games to start the year, then two straight games overseas, all in the first five weeks. Then, they get another early bye. One of their late-season road games (week 13) will be in Seattle against last year’s starter, Sam Darnold.
The second-half features six Vikings home games in the final ten weeks. NFC North tilts against the Lions and Packers to close the season could have massive playoff implications. Both contests will be played at U.S. Bank Stadium.

If the Vikings can win four of their six division games, stay undefeated internationally, then beat teams they should, like Atlanta, Seattle, LAC and NYC… that’s already 10 wins for the good guys, with seven more to pick through. Baltimore and Philadelphia are tough opponents, but both have to come to U.S. Bank Stadium.
Improving on a 14-3 record isn’t the expectation, but overall, there’s no reason why the 2025 Minnesota Vikings can’t be better and play deeper into the postseason than the 2024 squad.
