EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings-Saints rivalry has been going strong for a decade-plus.
The NFL announced Wednesday morning on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football that the Vikings will play against the Saints at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 4 as part of the 2022 International Series.
“We are thrilled to once again represent the NFL on a global level and to have an opportunity to play in front of our international fans,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. “With our previous London games in 2013 and 2017 and our successful 2021 bid to land the United Kingdom as an international home marketing area, we have seen tremendous international support. This is another chance to directly engage with Vikings fans across the world and bring exposure to Minnesota’s impressive business community and tourism industry.”
