NFL announces Saints vs. Vikings game date in London

There it is: the New Orleans Saints will face the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London Oct. 2, with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CT. The contest will be broadcast exclusively on NFL Network. This counts as a home game for the Saints, who won’t have to move another home game overseas until 2030.

Here are the teams visiting New Orleans for games at the Caesars Superdome in 2022: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and Los Angeles Rams.

This Saints-Vikings game in London will be part of the NFL’s Week 4 slate, but because bye weeks do not begin until after Week 6 the Saints will have to fly back on short rest before their next matchup. It’s a frustrating wrinkle for their schedule, but it’s nothing they haven’t overcame before. Dennis Allen and his team will be ready.
