For the 37th time in NFL history, a regular season game is about to kick off in London.

This time it’s the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings who face off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Week 5 international match.

Here’s all the information you need to know to tune in to the latest addition to the NFL International Series.

New York Jets at Minnesota Vikings

Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, United Kingdom

Kickoff: 9:30 AM ET (coverage begins at 7:00 AM ET)

Broadcast: NFL Network (KARE-11 in the Twin Cities, WCBS in New York)

The Jets are set to take on arguably the hottest team in the NFL while dealing with injuries surrounding veteran starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After being limited in practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury, Rodgers was a full participant on Thursday and Friday, but the Jets added a third quarterback to the active roster on Saturday for the first time this season as he provides some certainty had behind him.

Rodgers, who missed nearly the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL, has led the Jets to a 2-2 start after rushing for 849 yards, five touchdowns and an interception in four games.

With Breece Hall and wideout Allen Lazard leading the Jets’ offense early in the season, Rodgers will continue to build connections with running back Braelon Allen and wideout Garrett Wilson heading into Week 5.

New York’s defense, meanwhile, will be tasked with limiting Sam Darnold, the former No. 3 Jets pick who is enjoying a breakout campaign in 2024 with the Vikings.

Darnold will enter the game leading the NFL with 11 touchdown passes and a 118.9 passer rating through four games. His connection with top prospect Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones creates a Vikings offense that ranks fourth in the league at 29 points per game.

The Jets’ No. 2 pass defense has been a strength through the first four games of the season. If they can limit Darnold’s passing options, it will be up to their run defense to stop runners like Jones.

The Vikings, meanwhile, look to remain one of two undefeated teams in the NFL as they extend their current win streak against the Jets to four games.

A win this weekend would bode well for Minnesota’s playoff aspirations next spring. As Craig Peters and Rob Kleifield noted on the team website, the Vikings won in London in 2017 and 2022 and went on to post 13-win seasons.

The 2024 NFL London Games continue later this season with a Week 6 matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, followed by a Week 7 matchup with the Jaguars and New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium.
