Where to watch?
- The Vikings-Lions game will air on NBC and stream on Peacock.
The last game of the 2024 season will determine the NFC North division and has huge playoff seeding implications. The Vikings and Lions are both 14-2 on the year, which puts them at the top of the conference standings. The winner of tonight’s Sunday Night Football game not only wins the division but also the top seed in the NFC, which brings with it a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The loser tonight falls to the NFC’s fifth seed and faces a much tougher road to the Super Bowl, starting with a road game next week to begin the playoffs.
The Vikings-Lions game kicks off at Ford Field in Detroit tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT). It’s available to watch nationally on NBC or stream on Peacock.
