The Minnesota Vikings are the story of the NFC North, racing to a 5-0 start through five games of the 2026 season and sitting among the last unbeaten teams in the NFL. A stingy defense and a knack for close wins have Minnesota in command of the division, and a Week 6 bye sets up a second half that includes a Mexico City showcase against the 49ers and three more division games. Below is every remaining game, when it kicks off, how to watch, and a printable copy you can keep on the fridge.
