The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 16-3 on Sunday to finish the 2025 regular season 9-8, and on a five-game win streak. They won’t be in the NFC Playoffs, but we now know who their 2026 opponents will be.

The Vikings will have a third-place schedule with nine home games and eight road games next year for the 2026 regular season. Minnesota is going to need a better and healthier season out of quarterback J.J. McCarthy to take a step forward, but at least he can say that he won his last four starts of this season.

Minnesota will have the 18th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which is scheduled to take place April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. The Vikings said they've selected from that spot three times in franchise history, selecting defensive back Dewayne Washington in 1994, defensive end Erasmus James in 2005 and center Garrett Bradbury in 2019.

The Vikings currently possess eight picks in April's NFL Draft, including one in each of the first three rounds.
