About this episode

The Vikings kick off their 2026 season at home against the Packers on Sunday, Sept. 13, with Kyler Murray making his debut as starting QB. Expect fireworks: rookies Caleb Banks, Dominique Orange, and Demond Claiborne take the field, while Green Bay deals with key absences including Micah Parsons (ACL) and Josh Jacobs (legal issues). Veteran Harrison Smith returns for his 15th season. The slate gets spicy next — Chicago, Tampa, a bye in Week 6, Colts at home, and a wild Mexico City showdown vs. the 49ers later. This opener is just the beginning of a loaded, high-stakes campaign.
