Minnesota Vikings Set A New First For NFL Teams

The Vikings will become the first NFL team to play in consecutive international games in different countries.

The Vikings begin their international journey in Ireland in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 28. It’s the first-ever regular-season NFL game in Dublin.

“Playing in Ireland’s first-ever NFL game is an opportunity to introduce new fans to the Minnesota Vikings and help the league continue to make the game of football more accessible globally,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf via Vikings.com. “To do so against a storied franchise like the Pittsburgh Steelers adds a unique challenge that makes this even more special. We are honored to be selected for this historic game and will be anxious to see what promises to be an electric game day environment in Croke Park.”

One week later, the Vikings head east to England to play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5. The game will be played in London.

“Our experiences in London have always been memorable, so to return in 2025 as the first team to play in back-to-back international games in different countries was something we could not pass up,” Wilf said. “UK fans have a history of showing up and embracing the Minnesota Vikings, creating what often feels like a homefield environment, and we are hopeful that is what we see again in 2025.”

The Vikings are tied for the best international winning percentage (4-0, 1.000) in the NFL.
