Packers vs. Vikings Week 16: Start time, live stream, TV info and more

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings will battle on Monday Night Football. Here’s how to watch.

Here we go. Monday Night Football is here, and the Packers take on the Vikings in a game with playoff implications.

Both teams have clinched a playoff berth, but there’s still a lot to play for.

The Packers could still end up with the No. 1 seed, the No. 2 seed, No. 3 seed or even the No. 6 seed. That’s why this game is important.

Here’s the information for how to watch tonight:

Date: Sunday, Dec. 23
Kickoff time: 7:15 p.m. CT
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Stadium: U.S. Bank Stadium
TV channel: ESPN
Live stream: fuboTV

The Packers got the help they needed to stay in the race for the No. 1 seed with the Seattle Seahawks losing to the Arizona Cardinals. Green Bay doesn’t control its own destiny for the top seed just yet, but by winning out, it’d have a good chance of finishing in first place of the conference.

Winning tonight would guarantee the Packers the NFC North title and one of the top three seeds. Win both games and the No. 2 seed will be theirs at worst.

On the flip side, lose tonight and then lose next week to the Detroit Lions, and the Vikings will have the opportunity to win the NFC North, pushing the Packers all the way down to the No. 6 seed. Green Bay won a Super Bowl from that position, so maybe it’s not such a bad thing.

A win or a loss tonight could be the difference between hosting a playoff game in the divisional round or the wild-card round.

Both teams enter this game relatively healthy, although Minnesota won’t have Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook out there. Alexander Mattison is also questionable.

Can the Packers end their losing run at U.S. Bank Stadium? If the answer is yes, new NFC North champions will be crowned on Monday Night Football.
