Vikings 2022 Schedule Released: Minnesota’s 17 Opponents, Game Dates

The Vikings will begin a new chapter in the 2022 season with a new head coach, Kevin O’Connell, and a new general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Last season, Minnesota finished with a 8–9 mark, good for second in the NFC North behind the Packers. 

There are some constants still remaining on Minnesota’s roster despite the change at coach and GM. With quarterback Kirk Cousins returning, the Vikings will seek to establish itself as a contender in the division this season. 

Here’s who Minnesota will face next season.
