Getting Football Fever? Here’s the Minnesota Vikings 2021-2022 Full Schedule
It's the time in the summer when I start coming down with a case of football fever. SKOL! This season the schedule has been expanded to 17 games.
The NFL has played a 16-game regular season since 1978, when it added two games to each team's schedule. The number of preseason games is dropping from four to three. Each team will still have one bye week during the season.
The Vikings will open the regular season with an NFC North/AFC North matchup when the Vikings take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio on Sunday, September 12th.

Another big matchup with potential playoff implications comes on the final week of the season when the Vikings travel to Green Bay to face the Packers at Lambeau Field for a Sunday night game on January 2nd.
