Looking at the Vikings Playoff History & Results
The Minnesota Vikings have consistently made the NFL playoffs, having qualified for the postseason in 2024 and 2012, among other years. Minnesota has not advanced past the divisional round since 2009 and hasn't made a Super Bowl since 1976. The Vikings are 21-32 all-time in the postseason.
Vikings Playoff Chances & Scenarios FAQs:
Yes, the Vikings can make the postseason this year, but it will likely take a great performance from the offense. With JJ McCarthy sidelined for a few weeks, Carson Wentz would likely get the start, starting for the sixth organization in six years.
No, the 2025-26 NFL season has just started, so the Vikings haven't clinched a playoff spot. The Vikings will look to cement themselves as a playoff contender if they can get off to a good start and make some waves early.
The Vikings playoff chances are 32.3%, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, and their odds are +210 to make the postseason (and -260 to miss). All that can change depending on how they do in the early weeks, and if they can get off to a good start.
The last time the Vikings made the playoffs was 2024, when they went 14-3 in the regular season before losing to the Los Angeles Rams 27-9 in the wild-card round. It was the best record ever for a wildcard team since the NFL moved to that playoff format.
