An announcement that the National Football League made on Wednesday means that the Minnesota Vikings may still end up with an international game in 2026, but not an overseas game. The Vikings have a road game scheduled against the 49ers this season because both teams finished in third place in their respective divisions in 2025. That means that the Vikings, who had two overseas games last season themselves, could potentially see themselves as the road team for another international contest. As the schedule hasn’t been announced yet, and won’t be announced until sometime after the 2026 NFL Draft, this won’t really alter any potential travel plans that anyone might have if they were planning on taking in a Vikings road game. But would you take a trip to Mexico City to see the Vikings if the opportunity became available?
