Welcome to game day, ladies and gentlemen! Later on today, the Minnesota Vikings will return to the friendly turf of U.S. Bank Stadium after a couple of weeks away, as they’ll face off with the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in hopes of extending their undefeated start to the season. We want everybody to be able to follow along with today’s action, so we’ll be putting all of the ways that you can do that right here for you.
Television Info
For the third time in the season’s first four weeks, the Vikings
will be in the late window of Sunday afternoon football, meaning that things will be kicking off at 3:05 PM Central Time. This game will be broadcast on the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston (and thankfully not Jonathan Vilma) on the call from the booth. You can check our coverage map post to see if you’re in the local broadcast area for this game. Once again, CBS has the doubleheader this week, so if you are in the local broadcast area, your local FOX affiliate will not be showing you an early game.

Radio Info
If you’re going to be traveling or just prefer to listen to things through the magic of radio, we have updated our list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates for this season. Wherever you are in the upper Midwest, you should be covered.
If you’ll be tuning in through satellite radio, you’ll be able to find the Vikings feed on Channel 194. If you’ve got the SiriusXM app, the Vikings’ permanent home there is on Channel 820.
Referee Info
Per the gang over at Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this one will be headed up by “Yo” Adrian Hill. Hopefully things will go better for the Vikings than they did the last time they saw Hill’s crew, as that was the night the Atlanta Falcons came to town on Sunday Night Football last season and pummeled the Vikings 22-6.
Weather Info
Obviously, the weather will not be a factor in the game itself, as it will be played indoors. If you’re traveling to the game or partaking in any pregame activities, it will be a pretty fine day for it, according to our friends from WeatherNation. Temperatures in the Twin Cities leading up to kickoff will be in the low-to-mid 60s with some winds out of the northwest between five and ten miles/hour.
Betting Info
The line for this one has dropped just a little bit since it opened earlier in the week. The Vikings are now a 9.5-point favorite in this one (it was originally 10.5), and the over/under is resting at 38.5 points. That’s tied for the lowest over/under in the league this week as it stands right now.
Streaming Info
Local market fans can watch the game through the Minnesota Vikings’ official app, and if you have the FOX Sports app, you can log in with the credentials from your cable or satellite provider. Otherwise, you’re looking at YouTube TV Sunday Ticket.
Don’t push illegal streams here. We’ll make sure you get banned for that. Not temporarily banned, either.
That should be all of the information you need in order to follow along with all of today’s action from Raymond James Stadium, folks. We’ll have our Open Thread for today’s game dropping half an hour before kickoff at 2:30 PM Central Time, and we hope that you’ll be joining us either here or on the SB Nation app to talk about all of today’s action. We’ll also have an Open Thread for the early NFL window dropping even earlier than normal at 8:00 AM Central, thanks to there being an International Series game in London this morning. So, if you’re going to be watching football all day long, you can spend the whole day here if you’d like.
