The Buffalo Bills’ prime‑time presence for the upcoming NFL season continues to grow, with another matchup reportedly emerging ahead of the league’s full schedule release.
According to reports, the Bills are expected to play the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football in Week 9, marking what would be Buffalo’s second Monday night appearance of the season.
Reports earlier indicated the Bills are also set to face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, giving Buffalo two anticipated prime‑time road or home showcases against teams from the NFC.
Two other nationally televised Bills games are also going to be on the schedule.
Buffalo will host the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, a historic game that will serve as the first‑ever home opener at the new Highmark Stadium.
The Bills will also host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, renewing one of the league’s premier rivalries.
If both the Rams and Vikings games are confirmed, Buffalo would have at least four standalone national television windows already identified, further reinforcing the Bills’ status as one of the NFL’s most reliable prime‑time draws.
The NFL is expected to announce the complete schedule later tonight.
