{{Main|Lions–Vikings rivalry}}
The Vikings and [[Detroit Lions]] have played twice annually since the Vikings entered the league's Western Conference in 1961. The two teams moved to the NFC Central after the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, which became the NFC North after the NFL's 2002 realignment. This is the only NFC North rivalry without any head-to-head postseason meetings. The Vikings lead the all-time series 80–41–2.<ref name="o927">{{cite web |title=All Matchups, Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=min&tm2=det&yr=all |access-date=August 6, 2024 }}</ref>
