The popular radio and digital series Gopher Football Weekly, anchored by P.J. Fleck, is set to make its comeback for the 2026 season, promising an expanded slate of content for fans of the Minnesota Gophers.
A Fresh Look at the Gophers
Mike Grimm and Justin Gaard will once again guide the conversation, bringing their distinct voices to a program that delves deep into the team’s strategy, player development and game‑day experience.
Where and When It Will Air
The season will consist of thirteen live episodes, the first of which will be broadcast from the Minnesota State Fair on August 27, running from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Subsequent shows will originate from the university’s on‑campus football facility, offering a more intimate setting for the production.
Live Stream and Audience Access
While the campus‑based episodes are not open to the general public, they will be streamed live on YouTube, allowing fans across the country to tune in as the action unfolds in real time.
Broadcast Partners
All broadcasts will air locally on KFAN and be distributed through the Gopher Radio Network, ensuring that listeners throughout the state can follow the schedule.
Schedule and Future Outlook
The programming schedule calls for Tuesday airings at noon, with the exact dates stretching from the State Fair through a yet‑to‑be‑announced week in November, though the lineup remains subject to change.
