It’s another Minnesota Vikings game day, folks! We’ve got a slightly longer wait than usual, but soon we’ll be watching our favorite team face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the hopes of pushing their record to 3-0 on the season. We want as many folks as possible to be able to follow along with the action, so we’re going to give you all of the ways that you can do that right here.
Television Info
The Vikings are, once again, going to be playing in the late window on this Sunday, with kickoff slated for 3:05
PM Central Time. The game will be broadcast on the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities area. You can refer to our coverage map post to see which parts of the country will get this game on over-the-air television, but if you’re in those areas, you will not be getting an early game on your local FOX affiliate, as CBS has the doubleheader this week. If you are outside of those areas, you will have to rely on 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 264. If you’ve got the SiriusXM app, the Vikings’ permanent home there is on Channel 820.
Referee Info
According to the folks from Football Zebras, this week’s officiating crew will be headed up by Scott Novak. The last time the Vikings saw Novak’s crew was last December, when his crew handled the Vikings’ 34-26 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Dallas.
Weather Info
The weather today in Tampa will be about as much of a 180 from what we saw last week in Chicago as you can get, according to our friends at WeatherNation. Temperatures at kickoff in central Florida will be in the mid-80s under partly cloudy skies with just about no wind. It’s worth noting that the Buccaneers have chosen to wear their white jerseys, making the Vikings wear the purple jerseys that they would normally wear at hime in the Florida heat.
Betting Info
The Vikings remain a slight favorite going into this one. The line continues to show the Vikings favored by 1.5 points in this one, with the over/under resting at 42.5 points.
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 a discussion thread up in the Feed for all of today’s action in the early window of games, so you can talk about all of that if you wish, too.
