MINNEAPOLIMEDIA NEWS | Minnesota Vikings Announce 2026 Training Camp Schedule with Expanded Public Access

Fans Will Have Opportunities to Attend 13 Open Practices at TCO Performance Center Beginning Aug. 1

EAGAN, MN (June 17, 2026)  The Minnesota Vikings have announced their 2026 Training Camp schedule, opening 13 practices to the public at the Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO) Performance Center in Eagan beginning Aug. 1.

The upcoming camp marks the franchise's 66th training camp overall and its ninth at the Vikings' headquarters and training facility in Eagan.

The public portion of camp will begin Saturday, Aug. 1, as part of the team's annual Back Together Weekend and Legends Weekend festivities. The event will feature appearances by former Vikings players, the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders, and the SKOL Line. Gates are scheduled to open at noon, with practice beginning at approximately 2:30 p.m.

According to the Vikings, fans will have access to 13 open practices throughout August, providing opportunities to watch player development, roster competitions, and preparations for the upcoming NFL season.

One of the key milestones during camp will occur Aug. 3, when the team conducts its first fully padded practice. NFL teams typically begin training camp with non-contact sessions before progressing to more physical practices later in camp.

The Vikings' annual night practice is scheduled for Aug. 9 at TCO Stadium. Practice will begin at 7 p.m. and is expected to be one of the most heavily attended events of the training camp schedule.

Minnesota's preseason schedule begins Aug. 15 with a road game against the New York Giants.

The final public practices of training camp will take place Aug. 19 and Aug. 20, when the Vikings host the Baltimore Ravens for joint workouts at the TCO Performance Center. Joint practices have become increasingly common across the NFL because they allow teams to compete against unfamiliar opponents in controlled practice environments before preseason games.

The Ravens and Vikings will meet again in a preseason game at U.S. Bank Stadium on Aug. 22.

The Vikings have announced that Season Ticket Members will receive complimentary admission to daytime practices with advance reservations. General admission tickets for daytime practices are priced at $10 for adults and $5 for youth ages 17 and younger. Children measuring 36 inches or less in height will be admitted free of charge.

Tickets for the Aug. 9 night practice are priced at $15 for adults and $10 for youth ages 17 and younger.

Attendance will be limited to approximately 4,000 spectators for daytime practices and 6,000 spectators for the night practice. All tickets must be reserved digitally in advance.

Season Ticket Members received priority access beginning June 16. Tickets for the general public became available June 18 at 10 a.m.

The organization is also continuing its youth autograph program. The first 1,000 children ages 17 and younger entering the facility will receive wristbands that randomly assign them to player autograph lines following practice. The Vikings have also announced that five "golden wristbands" will be auctioned daily, allowing families to select a preferred autograph line.

In addition to football activities, fans attending training camp will have access to interactive attractions, including football drills, a 40-yard dash course, field goal kicking stations, youth activities, and educational exhibits from Sustainable Safari.

The Vikings Foundation will also benefit from a portion of ticket proceeds generated during the public training camp sessions.

Training camp has become one of the organization's largest annual fan engagement events, offering supporters an opportunity to watch practices, meet players, participate in family activities, and gain an early look at the roster before the start of the regular season.

Additional schedule details, ticket information, and training camp policies are available through the Minnesota Vikings organization.
