The NFL schedule release is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT; however, it is possible that we may have access to the complete information prior to its official release. Numerous reports have filled in significant portions of the Minnesota Vikings schedule, and one of the online accounts that appears to be consistently reliable has published what may be the complete schedule.
Notably, this rumored and unofficial schedule includes seven nationally-televised events, including two primetime games to begin the year. If accurate, the Vikings will play twice on Sunday night, once on Monday night, twice on Thursdays (one of which is on Christmas Day) and we already knew about their two international games in consecutive weeks.
Here’s the leaked schedule, with home games in bold. Again, this is unofficial, so it may be best to wait on booking any non-refundable flights until the league confirms everything this evening.
- Week 1: at Chicago Bears (Monday Night Football, 9/8, 7:15 p.m, ESPN)
- Week 2: Atlanta Falcons (Sunday Night Football, 9/14, 7:20 p.m., NBC)
