The 2024 season will be the Minnesota Vikings' 64th in the National Football League (NFL), their ninth playing their home games at U.S. Bank Stadium, their 20th under the ownership of Zygi Wilf and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin O'Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. The Vikings are looking to improve on their 7–10 record from 2023 and return to the playoffs after a one-year absence.
This will be their first season since 2017 without quarterback Kirk Cousins on the roster, as he signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
On June 6, 2024, the Vikings unveiled the new "Winter Warrior" uniform, which is all-white and features the first white helmet in franchise history.[1]
