65th season in franchise history
The2025 season was theMinnesota Vikings ' 65th in theNational Football League (NFL), their 10th playing their home games atU.S. Bank Stadium , their 21st under the ownership ofZygi Wilf , their fourth underhead coach Kevin O'Connell and their fourth and final undergeneral manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah . The Vikings failed to improve on their 14–3 record from 2024 after a Week 7 loss to the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, and guaranteed a worse record the following week after losing to theLos Angeles Chargers .

They were eliminated from playoff contention after aChicago Bears win over theCleveland Browns in Week 15. However, the Vikings did rally to win their final five games to secure a winning record. This is the first season since2014 that the team had zero players make the Pro Bowl. On January 30, the Vikings announced that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has been fired from the team.[ 1]
