Week 15 NFL regular-season matchup between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, broadcast on NBC as Sunday Night Football.
The Minnesota Vikings host the Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 20, for Week 15 of the 2026 NFL regular season. It's a divisional matchup in the NFC North, and the Lions come into it with a 3-2 record in a season that runs 17 regular-season games with one bye week. They've already gone through a Thanksgiving battle with Chicago, and this is the first of four straight games to close out the year, with the Giants, Bears and Packers following the Vikings.
On the Detroit side, you'll see quarterback Jared Goff leading the offense, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson anchoring the front, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield. The Vikings are bringing something new to the field for this one, too: they'll be wearing their new 'Rivalries' jerseys, a look the team documented in a behind-the-scenes photoshoot leading up to the game.
