The Vikings will head to Eagan in just a few days to begin their 2026 training camp schedule. Even though the first practices won't be until August, the midsummer action kicks off when rookies head to the team facilities on Sunday, followed by their veteran counterparts on Tuesday. It won't be long before head coach Kevin O'Connell has a good idea about who will be on this season's 53-man roster.

It will be exciting to hear from Vikings reporters as to how the team's returning veterans and new arrivals are faring in training camp. At the same time, nothing compares to watching the practices in person, getting a glimpse of how the team is shaping up before the real action begins in September.

Fortunately, the Vikings' training camp is easily accessible to fans who want to attend in person. Here's everything they need to know, from how to purchase tickets to parking.
