How to Watch Vikings in Week 4: Top NFC North rivalry not on FOX
By Adam Patrick
As NFC teams, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers have typically had the majority of their games broadcast on FOX for the last three decades.
But since the start of the 2023 season, the NFL has eliminated the restrictions that previously prevented CBS from broadcasting a game that was traditionally classified as an NFC contest (two NFC teams facing one another or an NFC team on the road against an AFC team).
So, for the second time in the last three weeks, the Vikings will be taking part in a matchup with another NFC team that will be broadcast on CBS. Three of Minnesota's four games this season have actually been televised on CBS, with the team's Week 1 win over the New York Giants being the only contest not to be shown on CBS (it was broadcast on FOX).

According to the graphic from 506 Sports in the post below, those who live in the area of the map that is shaded blue will have the game televised by their local CBS affiliate.

How to Stream Vikings at Packers without Cable
This weekend's game between the Vikings and Packers will also be available on multiple streaming platforms, including YouTube TV, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV.
If subscribers have a streaming package that includes their local CBS channel and they live in one of the local markets where the matchup is being broadcast (from the graphic above), then they will be able to watch the Week 4 contest.
Sunday's game is also able to be streamed with a paid subscription to Paramount+ or NFL+. But just like with the streaming platforms mentioned above, subscribers must still live in an area where the matchup is being shown on their local CBS affiliate.
For those who don't live in one of the local markets where the game is available on CBS, one can watch the game by purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube or YouTube TV.
