The Minnesota Vikings have made a habit of winning in the United Kingdom but the team will not be visiting London during the 2018 NFL season.
Even though the Minnesota Vikings call U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota their home, the franchise seems to find a way to be successful when being part of the NFL’s International Series in the United Kingdom.
So far, Minnesota is 2-0 on British soil, defeating both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns in front of packed crowds of NFL fans. However, Minnesota will not get the chance to improve on that record during the 2018 NFL season.
The NFL’s International Series will feature three games in 2018 according to NFL.com. And none of those game will feature the Minnesota Vikings, who will play all their games in North America in 2018.

Here is the lineup of games that are scheduled to take place in the United Kingdom:
- Eagles vs Jaguars (Late October)
- Seahawks vs Raiders (October 14)
- Titans vs Chargers (Date unknown)
Each of those games could be a great opportunity for international fans to check out some great NFL action. Each of the teams represented has some amazing players and things to prove during the 2018 campaign, which should make them even more appealing to casual fans.
At this time, it hasn’t been revealed if the NFL will be playing any games on Mexican soil yet, but if the Vikings are chosen to participate in one of those game across the border but hopefully they will be able to find the same kind of success they do in the United Kingdom.
