One of the positives about the conclusion of the NFL's regular season is that teams like the Minnesota Vikings will know who their opponents will be for the next season. Plus, it gives fans an opportunity to plan to attend a game that interests them before the official schedules are released.
With the rotation of divisions in scheduling and knowing where teams finished within their own division, it can be determined which opponents will be on the upcoming slate of games for the Vikings next season.
Let's take a look at the teams the Minnesota Vikings will face during the 2025 NFL season according to the team's official website.

- Atlanta Falcons
- Baltimore Ravens
- Chicago Bears*
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Detroit Lions*
-Green Bay Packers*
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Commanders
As usual, the Minnesota Vikings will host each of the other teams in the NFC North. Being in one of the toughest divisions in the league automatically makes this list of opponents initially intimidating to look at.
Minnesota also has the Eagles and Commanders of the NFC East coming to U.S. Bank Stadium. Those two quads are both playoff teams and will be no walk in the park for the purple and gold to deal with next season.
On the other hand, the AFC North will bring the Ravens and Bengals to Minneapolis. Those games will also be a huge test for the Vikings since they have multiple explosive weapons on both sides of the ball to attack their opponents.
The home opponents are rounded out by the Falcons based on them finishing second in their division, like the Vikings. It's hard to know if former Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins will be on that team next season, but it should still be an interesting matchup.

- Green Bay Packers*
- Los Angeles Chargers
- New York Giants
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Seattle Seahawks
Yes, the Minnesota Vikings have nine road opponents and eight home opponents for the upcoming season. That doesn't factor in any home games that might be played on a neutral field, like during an international game.
The usual NFC North opponents are here with Minnesota hitting the road to take each of them on in their homes. Having six games against those opponents can be huge in determining how a season shakes out for a team.
The NFC East once again returns with the Cowboys and Giants hosting games against the Vikings. Both of these teams struggled mightily in 2024 but could get things figured out next season to be more competitive.
Representatives from the AFC North here are the Browns and Steelers. Hopefully these road games will happen early enough in the season that weather won't be a major factor and the game can be played normally.
Finally, the opponents round out with road games against the Chargers and Seahawks. Those teams also finished second in their division and won ten games or more last season, making them challenging opponents for sure.
