We’ve made it to another Minnesota Vikings game day, ladies and gentlemen, as the purple will wrap up the Border Battles for 2026 with their annual trip to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers this afternoon. We want as many people as possible to be able to follow along with today’s game, so we’re going to put all of the ways that you can do that right here for you.
Television Info
After a week of playing in prime time, we are back at the universally agreed-upon best time for NFL action to get started, that
being noon Central Time on Sunday afternoon. Coverage for this one will be handled by the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with Adam Amin and Drew Brees on the call. You can check out our coverage map post to see if you’re in the local broadcast area for this one. . .but there’s a pretty good chance that you are.
In the event that you’re not, however, you’ll be relying on YouTube TV NFL Sunday Ticket for your coverage.
For our men and women serving in uniform overseas, this one is going to be shown LIVE on the American Forces Network, specifically on AFN Sports. Kickoff is slated for 1800Z, which works out to 1900L for everyone in Central Europe, 2100L for those on Arabian time, and 0300L on Monday morning for fans in Japan and Korea.

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 264. 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 week’s game will be headed up by Clete Blakeman. Hopefully it will go better for the Vikings than the last time they saw Blakeman’s crew. . .that would be last year’s game in Seattle, the infamous “Max Brosmer game,” where the Vikings lost to the Seahawks, 26-0.
Incidentally, the crew for this week was supposed to be led by John Hussey, who the Vikings just saw a few weeks ago in New Orleans, but all of the referee assignments got thrown into chaos by Friday’s FAA ground stop, so Blakeman’s the guy at Lambeau now.
Weather Info
If you’re planning on attending tomorrow’s game, or even if you’re not, it looks like it’s going to be a pretty perfect mid-November day for football in Green Bay, according to our friends from WeatherNation. Temperatures at kickoff are going to be in the mid-40s under partly cloudy skies, and the winds should be light and variable throughout the afternoon.
Betting Info
The line on this one has been shifting slightly in Minnesota’s favor over the course of the week. When the lines opened at the beginning of the week, the Vikings were a 4.5-point underdog to the Packers. However, as we’re just hours from kickoff, that line has dropped to the Vikings now being a 2.5-point underdog. If you figure that home field is worth three points, the sharps now see this as a pretty even matchup. That’s the Kirk Cousins factor, I reckon.
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 to follow along with all of the action from Lambeau Field this afternoon, folks. We’ll have the Open Thread for the game dropping half an hour before the game starts, or right around 11:30 AM Central Time, and we hope to see a bunch of you there for today’s big NFC North matchup!
