Vikings Promo Schedule 2025 Includes Jared Allen HOF Ring Ceremony, Winter Whiteout, Hispanic Heritage Day, Purple Takeover & More!
Welcome to the Minnesota Vikings 2025 promo season! The franchise wants to make the Divisional Round for the first time since the 2019 campaign. Also, the Vikings are seeking their first Super Bowl berth since losing to the Raiders in 1976. But before the postseason talks begin, Minnesota has officially announced its 2025 promo schedule that focuses on special themes and former player tributes. Returning favorites include the Winter Whiteout event, Legends Weekend, Salute to Service, and more.
To start off the promotional dates, U.S. Bank Stadium will get the preseason started by hosting professional football and presenting youth physician activity in August. Once the regular season kicks off in September, the team intends to award DE Jared Allen with a HOF Ring Ceremony and recognize Hispanic traditions. Also to keep in mind is that the Vikings will play two road games in Dublin vs. Steelers (Sept. 28) and in London vs. Browns (Oct. 5). Once the club returns from across the pond, the only October home game will be themed for cancer awareness via Crucial Catch. For November, Minnesota plans to pay tribute to local veterans and showcase a division battle. The December home contests will consist of Purple Takeover and the returning Winter Whiteout spectacular. Finally, the organization will finish the regular season with fan appreciation in January.
