The Minnesota Grey Ducks are a professional American football team based in Duluth, Minnesota. The Grey Ducks currently compete in the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL) as a member club of the league's Northern Football Conference (NFC).
The franchise was founded in San Antonio, Texas, on September 2, 2018, and moved to Minnesota in 2034. They are one of the six franchises from the DSFL's founding in 2018, along with the Portland Pythons, Bondi Beach Buccaneers (originally the Chicago Blues), Norfolk Seawolves, Kansas City Coyotes, and the Tijuana Luchadores. The team played home games at Marshal Stadium in San Antonio, Texas through the 2034; they played in The Nest until the 2041 season; they now play in their rebuilt stadium in Duluth called The Quack Shack. The Grey Ducks have a long-standing rivalry with the Kansas City Coyotes.
The team headquarters, New TCO Performance Center, is in Dakota County suburb of Eagan, Minnesota. The buliding used to be used by the Minnesota Vikings, before it was rebuilt and sold to the franchise. The Grey Ducks practice at adjoining facilities there during the season, and began hosting Training Camp there in 2045 after major renovations.

Radio and television
The Grey Ducks' flagship radio station is MINN-FM (101.2), which uses the branding "M120" based on its former calls on 1230 AM before a format flip between the AM and FM stations before the 2036 season; 1230 AM also continues to broadcast game play-by-play as M12F.
The games are also heard on the "MINN Radio Network" in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota, as well as many other outlets. Paul George has been the play-by-play announcer since the 2034 DSFL season with Pete Carol filling in as analyst, who began his first season in 2039.
Telecasts of preseason games not shown on national networks are aired on MFAN (Channel 12) in the Twin Cities with a simulcast of M120's radio broadcast while Fox Sports North shows a tape delay later.
