While Minnesota will head to London in 2013, their opponent is still unknown. In addition to their usual NFC North opponents, the Vikings home schedule also includes games against the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and a NFC South opponent which is yet to be determined.
With the Vikings playing one of their home games in London, they will host seven games in what could be their final season playing in the Metrodome. Minnesota will play the 2013 season in the Metrodome and could move to TCF Bank Stadium in 2014 during the construction of their new stadium.
The game, which will be played in Wembley Stadium in London, will be one of two international games during the 2013 season. The Jacksonville Jaguars are scheduled to face the San Francisco 49ers in London.
