Vikings Schedule: Official 2020 regular season schedule released

The Minnesota Vikings schedule for the 2020 regular season was released on Thursday and the team now knows when and where they will travel each week.

For the majority of fans, the release of the Minnesota Vikings schedule is an exciting time of the year. It might be due to the lack of anything else really exciting going on, but the schedule release gives Vikings fans something to look forward to as suffer through a few more months without football being played.

This is especially true for the revealing of the 2020 schedule.

Finishing with two games on the road is not going to be easy. But who knows what shape the Saints and Lions could be in by the time it comes for Minnesota to take them on.
