We’ve arrived at another Minnesota Vikings game day, as our favorite team hopes to continue their run as the last undefeated team in the National Football League in 2026 as they face off against their division rivals, the Detroit Lions. We want as many people as possible to follow the action from Ford Field today, so we’re giving you all the ways to do it here in one place.
Once again, we’re kicking things off at the best possible time for NFL action to begin, that is noon Central Time on Sunday afternoon. This week’s game will be carried by the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with the #1 FOX team of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady calling things from the booth. You can check our coverage map post for this week to see if you’re in the local broadcast area for this one. Otherwise, you’ll need to find a way to use YouTube TV NFL Sunday Ticket.
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 listen via satellite radio, you can find the Vikings feed on Channel 263. 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 this one will be led by Craig Wrolstad. The Vikings haven’t seen a crew led by Wrolstad since December of 2024, when his crew held on for a thrilling 27-24 Viking victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.
Again, the weather won’t be a factor in this one during the game, with Ford Field being an indoor venue. If you’re traveling to the game, it should be a fairly balmy fall day, according to our friends at WeatherNation. Temperatures will be in the lower 60s under partly cloudy skies with light winds from the south. Oh, and if you forgot to set your clocks back, you’ll probably wonder why the game hasn’t started yet.
The lineup for this one hasn’t changed much since it opened. The Lions still show as a 3.5-point favorite, with the over/under still sitting at 46.5 points.
Since this game is on FOX, you can log into Fox Sports dot com and watch the game using your TV provider credentials if you are in the local area. Other than that, you’re looking at needing a YouTube TV Sunday Ticket.
Don’t push illegal streams here. We will make sure to ban you for that. Not temporarily banned either.
That should be all the information you need to follow all of today’s action from Ford Field, folks. Our Open Thread for today’s game will go down half an hour before kickoff at 11:30 AM Central Timeand we hope you’ll join us here or on the SB Nation app to talk about all the action today.
