The Minnesota Vikings will find out when and where they will be facing off against each and every one of their opponents for the 2018 regular season on Thursday night.
Their opponents are already known and their first matchup of the year is possibly known, but the Minnesota Vikings will officially find out what their 2018 regular season schedule will look like on Thursday night.
The NFL announced on Tuesday that the league’s 2018 schedule will be released on NFL Network and NFL.com on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST. NFL Network will also be broadcasting a special 2-hour schedule release show to breakdown all of the season’s upcoming matchups.
In case anyone has forgot or just didn’t know, below are the Vikings’ opponents for 2018.
Home:
Chicago Bears
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
Arizona Cardinals
Buffalo Bills
Miami Dolphins
New Orleans Saints
San Francisco 49ers
Minnesota Vikings
Away:
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
- Green Bay Packers
- Los Angeles Rams
- New England Patriots
- New York Jets
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Seattle Seahawks
It has already been previously reported that Minnesota will likely open the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL’s annual Thursday Night Kickoff game. The Vikings and new quarterback Kirk Cousins beginning the year with a win over the defending Super Bowl champions would be a great way to start their season.
In case anyone missed it, Minnesota’s preseason schedule for 2018 was released last Wednesday. The Vikings will be facing the Denver Broncos (with Case Keenum), Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, and Tennessee Titans this year.
