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 facing off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for an international Week 5 contest.

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

New York Jets at Minnesota Vikings

Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, United Kingdom

Kickoff: 9:30 a.m. ET (coverage starts 7 a.m. ET)

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

The Jets are about to face arguably the hottest team in the NFL while dealing with injury concerns surrounding veteran starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After being limited in practice on Wednesday with 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 for some insurance behind him.

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

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

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

Darnold will head into the contest leading the NFL with 11 touchdown passes and a 118.9 passer rating through four games. His connection with star wideout Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones drives a Vikings offense that ranks fourth in the league with 29 points per game.

The Jets’ No. 2 ranked 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 hold back runners like Jones.

The Vikings are meanwhile looking to remain one of the two undefeated teams in the NFL while stretching 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 noted by Craig Peters and Rob Kleifield for the team website, the 2017 and 2022 Vikings won in London and went on to record 13-win seasons.

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