Vikings Territory Breakdown Podcast
Stop the presses! The NFL schedules are here! In the most anticipated news since last month’s NFL Draft, the NFL released its 2026 league schedule last week (because, well, in the NFL “April rookies bring May bookies”). Or at least that is what the NFL would have us think. But as the big-time draft event slips into memory, the NFL tantalizes us with the schedule to get us speculating on the coming season even more. The NFL knows how to market itself.

But truth be told, the schedule helps bring the coming season into focus, as we now know who, when and where the games will be played. For the Minnesota Vikings , the schedule is always filled with some interesting surprises and this season’s is no different. The season beings with a double dose of divisional opponents (the Packers and Bears) right out of the game and features an international trip to Mexico City to play the San Francisco 49ers in November. It also includes four 3 p.m.-slotted games, three prime time games, two flex games with their starts times TBD and zero games on holidays. All worth talking about.
So, that’s what the fellas at the Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast—Joe Oberle, senior writer at vikingsterritory.com and purplePTSD.com, and Mark Craig, NFL and Vikings writer for the Star Tribune and startribune.com —plan to do. They will look at each game, the opponent and see how we think the game will come out. And speaking of the NFL Draft, the NFL announced that the Twin Cities will host to the 2028 NFL Draft—which will give us even more to speculate about. Tune in and check it out. Skol!
