The Minnesota Vikings' annual night practice on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at TCO Stadium features special schedules, increased capacity, and distinct rules compared to regular daytime camp sessions.
Experience a night under the lights of TCO Stadium! Enjoy MVC and SKOL Line performances, team autograph football tosses, a girls flag football feature and a preview to the 2026 Vikings team.
Unlike regular daytime practices, the standard player autograph sessions and wristband distributions for kids are not held during the night practice.
Instead of traditional post-practice line autographs, fans in TCO Stadium have a unique chance to catch autographed mini-footballoids tossed out by every position group during team introductions.
This specific night practice session is marked as SOLD OUT on the official schedule page.

Night practice? About as great an experience a fan can have at TC imo...Just something special about a warm summer night, family friendly and where u can just relax and have fun with other fans.
Not surprised it's sold out..
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

It is “leaning” like Kyler Murray will be the #Vikings starting QB in week 1 against the #Packers, per @RapSheet.

“To me, Kyler was their hand picked QB in free agency, he has done nothing to disappoint, it feels like he has the advantage here.” pic.twitter.com/xFOeahjl3b

There's just something special about that first day in pads.

Aaron Jones envisions big things for Demond Claiborne, the #Vikings rookie RB whose speed sticks out quickly. Now, the Vikings have to channel it in the wide-zone scheme…

This was part of Kevin O’Connell’s job as a young assistant with the 49ers, too. The team officials who get irked by videos being posted from #Vikings camp in Eagan are often the ones who benefitted from it with other teams. https://t.co/M5Mph5DdBY

Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell says DT Caleb Banks and LT Christian Darrisaw both have scheduled off nights tonight. KOC said Darrisaw has had a great camp.

Levi Drake Rodriguez and Ty Ingram-Dawkins are a little banged up, too. Nothing extensive.

Damn. Really wanted to see Banks tonight.

Unsurprisingly, Kevin O’Connell is not naming a starting QB right now.
— Will Ragatz (@WillRagatz) August 9, 2026
He’s happy with their plan so far and notes the rep split has been about 50-50, which has given them a lot to learn and coach on.
Says “nothing has really changed” with the timeline for a decision.

#Vikings DB Jay Ward is in the concussion protocol, per KOC.

Switching from No. 54 to No. 32 allows Jamal Adams (@Prez) to line up at safety or linebacker for the @Vikings, giving Brian Flores even more flexibility with the veteran defender.

The Vikings will be in full pads tonight, Kevin O'Connell said, with possibly some "live" (full tackling) periods for the third team. Christian Darrisaw and Caleb Banks will get rest days. Jay Ward (concussion protocol), Levi Drake Rodriguez and Ty Ingram-Dawkins also out.

Kevin O'Connell on QB decision as Week 3 of camp begins: "Nothing has really changed from a standpoint of the timeline and things like that. So we'll see how the reps continue to go and when we feel like we're at that place, we're going to make sure we communicate that..."

Asked where Kyler Murray is in the system compared to where he thought he would be at this point, O'Connell said: "I think mentally he's definitely probably ahead of where I thought." He went on to say there are some parts of the offense that are new to everyone. https://t.co/bfCev3xHI9

I’m guessing they’re got medical protocol with both. I’m disappointed too.
