And here's the team's preseason schedule, with two of the three games at U.S. Bank Stadium. Dates and times are TBD.
- Preseason Week 1: at Seattle Seahawks
- Preseason Week 2: Tennessee Titans
- Preseason Week 3: Arizona Cardinals
The Vikings' regular season slate includes five primetime games, though the two Sunday night matchups and the MNF game against the Broncos are eligible to be flexed out at the NFL's discretion.
Minnesota will play both of last season's Super Bowl participants within the first five weeks, and they'll also play both conference runner-ups later in the campaign. The schedule, on paper, eases up a bit in the middle. After a late Week 13 bye, the Vikings will end the final stretch with three consecutive games against division opponents, including two against the Lions, who are favored to win the NFC North.
