Minnesota will not open the season by traveling to Philadelphia. Instead the Vikings will have an opportunity to open at home for the second consecutive year.

For the second consecutive year, and for the third time since 2008, Minnesota will open the season schedule at home. The Vikings will host San Francisco in their opening game on Sunday, September 9. Minnesota and San Francisco opened the season against each other back in 2015 at Levi's Stadium.

Opponents for each team were set as soon as the regular season came to an end last season. Minnesota will enter the 2018 season with the 8th toughest schedule based on last year's results.

Other highlights of the Vikings schedule this season include a home Sunday Night Football game against New Orleans, and a trip to New England in Week 13.
