The Vikings vs Saints live stream is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. ET/ 1:30 p.m. PT today (Friday, Dec. 25).
It's going to be on Fox, NFL Network and Amazon Prime.
It's time for the Christmas Day Vikings vs Saints live stream, and it's looking like it should be a gift New Orleans. The Saints today get an opportunity at payback for season-ending defeats by Minnesota in the 2017 and 2019 NFL playoffs.
The 10-4 Saints will definitely make the playoffs this year, despite a heartbreaking 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday that kept them from clinching the NFC South title. After a crushing 33-27 defeat by the Bears, the 6-8 Vikings playoff chances are down close to nil, and oddsmakers expect them to lose this NFL live stream by 6.5 points.

Defense will be critical to watch during this NFL live stream. The Vikings' secondary has been very weak, allowing 27.3 points per game (ranking number 23 in the NFL). Even Chicago's pathetically weak offense, which averages just 22.5 ppg, was able to rack up 33 points against the Vikings. Things won't get easier for Minnesota on Christmas, when they face a team that averages 28.4 ppg.
But New Orleans has been wracked with injuries to its offensive line, beginning with quarterback Drew Brees, who missed four games after a sack that broke several ribs and punctured his lung. Brees returned to face the Chiefs but was not back in top form, making only 15 of 34 passes, for a completion percentage of just 44.4 percent. Although he improved throughout the game, leading drives in the second half that brought his team within striking distance.
Brees is also running low on weapons in the field. Wide receiver Michael Thomas will be out for the rest of season due to a lingering ankle injury. Wide receivers Tre’Quan Smith and Deonte Harris have also faced injuries. But New Orleans still has the double threat of running back Alvin Kamara, the team's leading rusher and leading pass receiver.
How to watch Vikings vs Saints live stream with a VPN
Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you can't get FOX, the NFL Network or Amazon Prime where you are for some strange reason — and you can't watch the Vikings vs Saints live streams you want, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN offers superb speeds and excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.
