As a silver lining, the Vikings aren't losing any home games — the Steelers and Browns are the "home" teams for the international matchups. Playing Pittsburgh overseas could be a boon for Minnesota — the team is 0-3 all-time at Heinz Field, the Steelers' current home.

The Minnesota Vikings will become the first NFL team to play in three countries in one season during 2025. A record seven international matches will be played in 2025, with the NFL taking regular-season games to Ireland and Spain for the first time.

The Minnesota Vikings will face the Cleveland Browns in an NFL International Series game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Oct. 5, 2025.
