If the NFL’s 2020 season starts on time, the Vikings will kick off their 60th season with a first: They’ll open at home against their biggest rival.
The Vikings are scheduled to face the Packers in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season at U.S. Bank Stadium, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. It will be the first time in franchise history Minnesota has opened at home against Green Bay; the Vikings have started the season six times at Lambeau Field against the Packers, most recently in 2008, when Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay to a win in his first NFL start.
