The Minnesota Vikings schedule for the 2023 NFL season is expected to be released before the end of the month. What do we already know about next season's schedule?

Primetime Games

After winning 13 games and the NFC North in 2022, there is a very good chance that the Vikings will have multiple primetime games next season.

Minnesota has had at least one Monday night game on their schedule every year since 2013. The Vikings have also played in at least three primetime games (Monday night, Sunday night, or Thursday night) in four of their five seasons with Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback.

There's also the possibility of Minnesota playing in multiple holiday games next season. With a road trip to face the Lions always on their schedule, the NFL could decide to have that matchup take place on Thanksgiving.

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are both on Sundays in 2023, so the Vikings will likely have a game on both or at least one of those holidays. Minnesota could also end up playing on Christmas in 2023 since it falls on a Monday.
