Entering the 2025 season, the Vikings will be a team that can go either way.

Vikings Playoff Chances & Scenarios FAQs:

Yes, the Vikings cannot make the postseason this year, as they have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. A poor stretch after Week 4 turned what started as a great season into a bad one, and the Vikings were unable to recover from the bad start. 

No, the Vikings haven't clinched a playoff spot, and they won't anytime soon. The Vikings have officially been eliminated from playoff contention following Week 15, and will now turn their attention toward the offseason to improve their team and make it back in 2026. 

The Vikings' playoff chances are off the board, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. After an awful stretch, the Vikings will not be seeing any playoff action this season and will be prepping for the offseason to try to turn things around in the 2026 season.

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.
