Vikings in London Gets On-Sale Date
The Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints will show down in London on October 2nd — or Week 4 of the NFL season.
Both teams are undefeated in England games, tallying a combined 4-0 record. The franchises also have a contentious rivalry stemming from the Saints knocking the Vikings out of the 2009 playoffs and Minnesota returning the favor in the 2017 and 2019 postseasons, respectively.
