The long, terrible darkness of the bye week is finally over. The Minnesota Vikings are back in action, returning to U.S. Bank Stadium this afternoon to host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7 of the 2026 season. They’re looking to extend their undefeated start to the year, and if you’re ready to follow all the action, we’ve got the lowdown on how to do it.
Kickoff, Coverage, and How to Tune In
This Week 7 matchup is set for the early Sunday afternoon window, meaning things kick off from the Twin Cities at noon Central Time. You can catch the game on the CBS family of networks, with WCCO-4 providing local coverage in the Twin Cities. Ian Eagle and Ross Tucker will be on the call, bringing you all the plays from the booth. If you’re outside the local market, YouTube TV Sunday Ticket is your go-to for live streaming the game. For those who prefer the magic of radio, the Vikings Radio Network affiliates have you covered across the upper Midwest. Satellite radio listeners can find the Vikings feed on Channel 197, and if you’re using the SiriusXM app, Channel 820 is the permanent home for the Vikings’ broadcast.
Game Day Details: Officials, Weather, and the Betting Line
Let’s talk brass tacks for this clash. Brad Rogers will be heading up the officiating crew for this week’s game. Vikings fans might remember his crew from less than a year ago when they handled the 19-17 loss to the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium. Inside the dome, the weather is obviously a non-factor for the game itself. But if you’re heading to the stadium for pre-game festivities, expect a bit of a damp experience. Temperatures at kickoff are projected to be in the mid-50s, with rain forecast pretty much all day long, accompanied by light winds from the northeast. Now, for the betting enthusiasts: the line has shifted slightly. After opening as 5.5-point favorites, the Vikings are now favored by 6.5 points heading into Sunday. The over/under for the game rests at 41.5 points.
The stakes are clear for the Vikings: keep that undefeated streak alive. Get ready, football fans, because Week 7 is here, and this team is looking to prove their early season dominance is for real.
