We have made it to yet 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 take on their divisional rivals, the Detroit Lions. We want as many folks as possible to be able to follow along with the action from Ford Field today, so we’re giving you all of the means of doing so here in one place.
Television Info
Once again, we are kicking things off at the best possible time for NFL action to get underway, that
being noon Central Time on Sunday afternoon. This week’s game will be handled 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 out our coverage map post for this week to see if you’re in the local broadcast area for this one. If you’re not, you’ll need to find a way to make use of YouTube TV NFL Sunday Ticket.

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 263. If you’ve got the SiriusXM app, the Vikings’ permanent home there is on Channel 820.
Referee Info
According to the gang from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this one will be headed up by Craig Wrolstad. The Vikings have not seen a Wrolstad-led crew since December of 2024, when his crew handled the Vikings’ thrilling 27-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.
Weather Info
Once again, the weather will not 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 seasonable fall day, according to our friends at WeatherNation. Temperatures will be in the lower 60s under partly cloudy skies with light winds out of the south. Oh, and if you forgot to set your clocks back, you’re probably going to be wondering why the game hasn’t kicked off yet.
Betting Info
The line hasn’t changed that much for this one since it opened up. The Lions are still showing as a 3.5-point favorite, with the over/under still sitting at 46.5 points.
Streaming Info
As this game is on FOX, you can log in to Fox Sports dot com and watch the game with your TV provider’s credentials if you’re in the local area. Other than that, you’re looking at needing 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 Ford Field, folks. We’ll have our Open Thread for today’s game dropping half an hour before kickoff at 11:30 AM 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.
