The Vikings regular season schedule was officially announced on Tuesday. They'll open the season at San Francisco to face the 49ers on Sept. 14. It'll be the second game of the Monday night doubleheader during Week 1.
It will be the Vikings' seventh season opener on the road since 2008. The only year in that stretch that they've started the season at home was in 2012 against the Jaguars.
It'll be the Vikings' 57th game on Monday night and the first since 2013 when quarterback Josh Freeman against the Giants in Week 7.
The tradition continues with the Vikings closing the regular season against an NFC North opponent. They will travel to Lambeau Field to face the Packers in the season finale. The 109th meeting will mark the first time these two teams meet in January for a regular season game. It's the first time since 1996 the Vikings will close the season at Lambeau Field. Since 2000, every regular season has concluded against a divisional opponent.
The Vikings will play their final home game at TCF Bank Stadium in Week 16 against the Giants. They will move into their new stadium in 2016 after playing outdoors for two seasons.
