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 season from JJ McCarthy, along with a spectacular performance from the defense as it tries to bounce back from an early exit in last season's playoffs.
No, the 2025-26 NFL season has not yet 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 54.5%, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, and their odds are -120 to make the postseason (and -110 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.
