Vikings vs Packers live stream: How to watch NFL game online and on TV from anywhere, odds and inactives

Quarterback Sam Darnold #14 of the Minnesota Vikings passes the ball ahead of the Vikings vs Packers live stream.

Today's Vikings vs Packers live stream is an all-NFC North grudge match between two of the top-performing teams in the conference, if not the league, through these opening weeks — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Sam Darnold's resurgence is the feel-good story of the season, yet it's being eclipsed by Brian Flores' defense. After earning the plaudits of the 49ers' Brock Purdy, it left C.J. Stroud in a tailspin to propel the Vikings to a jaw-dropping 34-7 victory over the Texans. He was sacked four times and forced into throwing two interceptions, while Darnold, Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones took care of the offense. 

The Packers' D sees the Vikings' four and raises them eight. That's how many sacks they unleashed upon Will Levis during the 30-14 beatdown of the Titans. And yet that wasn't the key takeaway from the game. Malik Willis threw for more than 200 yards, rushed for more than 50 yards and scored both through the air and on the ground in a remarkable performance, one that's eased the pressure on the returning Jordan Love. 

Right now DraftKings has the Packers as 2.5-point favorites at home. We have all the information on how to watch Vikings vs Packers below, and all of this season's football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.

How to watch Vikings vs Packers from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list. 

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or Fubo and watch the Vikings vs Packers live stream.
