We finally get to the Minnesota Vikings game day this week, as they close out Week 9 by hosting Monday Night Football by hosting the Buffalo Bills at US Bank Stadium. We want as many people as possible to follow all the action tonight, so we’re putting it all here in one place so you can do just that.
This is the first prime time appearance of the season for the Vikings, so things will start later. The game is set to start at 7:15 PM Central Time tonight, with nationwide coverage provided by ESPN. If you’re in the Twin Cities area, the game will also be broadcast on KSTP-5, which is the local ABC affiliate. No broadcast map post this week, as this is literally the only game in town tonight.
And it took me a long time to realize that not once this season did I put up game information for our men and women overseas, and since it’s Veterans Day week, it’s time for me to change that going forward. This game will be shown LIVE on the American Forces Network starting at 0100Z on Tuesday morning. That works on 0200L on Tuesday morning for viewers in Central Europe, 0400L on Tuesday morning for those of Arabian times, and 1000L on Tuesday morning for fans in Japan and Korea. The game will be broadcast on AFN Sports.

If you travel or just prefer to listen to things through the magic of radio, we’ve updated our list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates for this season. Wherever you are in the upper Midwest, you should be covered.
If you tune in via satellite radio, you can find the Vikings feed on Channel 192. You can also find the Westwood One broadcast of tonight’s game on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Channel 88, and you can also hear the game in Spanish on Channel 194. If you have the SiriusXM app, the Vikings’ permanent home is on Channel 820.
According to the gang from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for tonight’s game will be led by Carl Cheffers. The Vikings last saw a crew led by Cheffers in November of 2025, when his crew called the Vikings’ 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
The weather, obviously, will not be any kind of factor during the game itself, as this one will be played inside the confines of US Bank Stadium. If you’re traveling to the game or taking part in any pre-game festivities, it should be a pretty good day for it, according to our friends at WeatherNation. Temperatures by kickoff will drop into the lower 50s, with winds out of the west at about 5 miles/hour.
There has been little change in the betting line for this one since it all opened earlier in the week. The Vikings are still 3-point underdogs going into this one. That part hasn’t changed. The over/under for this one is down a bit, from 46.5 points when the lines opened to 43.5 points today.
Since this is an ESPN game, you can stream this one through the ESPN app if you have an ESPN Unlimited plan. If you have YouTube TV, you should be able to stream it there too.
Don’t push illegal streams here. We will make sure to ban you for that. Not temporarily banned either.
That should be all the info you need to follow all of today’s action from US Bank Stadium tonight, folks. Our Open Thread for today’s game will go down half an hour before kickoff at 6:45 PM Central Timeand we hope you’ll join us here or on the SB Nation app to talk about all the action today.
