For the first time in this 2025 NFL regular season, the Minnesota Vikings will not be playing in prime time, as they’ll take to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium for their Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. We want everyone to be able to follow along with today’s action, so here’s everything you need to know.
Television Info
Today, the Vikings will take the field at the time that four out of five dentists recommend as the best time for NFL football to get underway, that being noon Central time on Sunday. This game will be broadcast on CBS, with their #1 team of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo handling the call for today’s contest. That means you can find the game on WCCO-4 in the Twin Cities area.
For everyone outside of the Twin Cities, here is this week’s map. . .the first time we’ve needed one this season. . .from the good folks at 506 Sports. The red area represents the Bengals/Vikings game.
If you are outside of the broadcast area for this week’s game, you’ll be able to find it on YouTube NFL Sunday Ticket.
Radio Info
If you’re going to be traveling or just prefer to listen to things through the magic of radio, we have updated our list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates for this season. Wherever you are in the upper Midwest, you should be covered.
If you have satellite radio, you can catch the Vikings feed on Channel 229. If you’re utilizing the SiriusXM app, you can listen on the Vikings’ permanent home there, which is Channel 820.
Referee Info
According to the folks from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for today’s contest is headed up by everyone’s favorite referee, Ron Torbert. This will actually be the first time the Vikings have seen Torbert since 2023, when his crew officiated the team’s 21-20 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football.
Weather Info
With this game taking place at U.S. Bank Stadium, the weather won’t play a role in the contest itself. If you’re traveling to the game or planning on partaking in any pre-game festivities, you might want to bring an umbrella, according to our friends at WeatherNation. It’s supposed to rain pretty much all day in Minneapolis on Sunday, with possible thunderstorms in the forecast. Temperatures will be in the low 70s with some light winds out of the west.
Betting Info
According to the FanDuel Sportsbook, the Vikings are still favored in this one after all of the quarterback news for both teams. The Vikings are currently showing as a 3-point home favorite in this one, with the over/under currently resting at 42.5 points.
Streaming Info
With this being a CBS game, you can also find a live stream of the action on Paramount+. You may also be able to find it on the NFL+ app, and I believe those are the only two legal ways of streaming this one.
Please don’t promote illegal streams here. Just. . .don’t.
That should be everything you need to keep track of all of this afternoon’s action from U.S. Bank Stadium as our Minnesota Vikings play host to the Cincinnati Bengals. We’ll have our first Open Thread of the afternoon dropping thirty minutes before kickoff, around 11:30 AM Central, and we hope that you’ll join us!
