The Minnesota Vikings have added a male lead cheerleader to their cheer squad for the 2025โ26 NFL season, bringing the number of men on the roster to two. The move, disclosed in social-media posts on 13 August, continues a gradual expansion of co-ed cheer teams across the league.
These are the only male cheerleaders who should be allowed in football. https://t.co/9JP7nLCiFW

Stop rooting for an NFL team IMMEDIATELY if they announce male cheerleaders like the @Vikings did. https://t.co/lFc2WGzr4m
