Minnesota Teams

It's a relatively quiet weekend on the Minnesota sports calendar. The Timberwolves and the Wild are firmly in their off-seasons, while the Vikings are wrapping up their summer minicamps. For your live sports fix, the Twins are grinding through the middle of their MLB schedule, and Minnesota United is navigating the summer stretch of their MLS season.

NFL

Former Vikings star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is officially a free agent. The NFL recently closed a personal conduct investigation into him without enough evidence to issue a suspension, meaning Diggs is now completely cleared to sign with a new team for the upcoming season.

NBA

The New York Knicks are the 2026 NBA Champions! They defeated the San Antonio Spurs in five games to secure their first title since 1973, snapping a massive 53-year championship drought. While New York is gearing up for a massive city-wide parade, the basketball world is talking about the Spurs' young superstar, Victor Wembanyama, who is learning a tough early lesson about losing on the biggest stage—something legends like LeBron James experienced before eventually winning it all.

MLB

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski threw a historically dominant game, shutting out the Phillies while striking out 15 batters on just 95 pitches (baseball nerds call a low-pitch complete game a "Maddux"). Elsewhere, the Washington Nationals are shaping up to be one of baseball's best surprises this year, but fans are waiting to see if the team will trade away their best players before the deadline or push for the playoffs.

College Sports

The newly revamped Pac-12 conference is officially back in action, and college football experts already consider them a top-tier "Group of Six" league. In rulebook news, the NCAA is currently pushing back against a new piece of federal legislation, arguing that the bill could cause more lawsuits and mess with player eligibility rather than providing clarity.

Other Sports

The UFC is putting on a massive spectacle this Sunday with "Freedom 250" taking place right on the White House lawn. Headlining the historic card is fighter Alex Pereira, who has a chance to become the first three-division champion in UFC history. Away from the octagon, golf's U.S. Open is happening this weekend at Shinnecock Hills, with stars like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy looking to capture a major title.
