Brent Key Coach’s Show Returns on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at New Realm

THE FLATS – The schedule is set for the 2026 season of the Brent Key Coach’s Show driven by Hyundai. The official weekly radio show of Georgia Tech football head coach Brent Key, hosted by the “Voice of the Yellow Jackets” Andy Demetra, kicks off its 2026 season on Tuesday, Sept. 1, live at New Realm Brewing Co. on the Atlanta Beltline (550 Somerset Terrace NE, Atlanta, GA 30306) from 6-7 p.m.

Following the initial Tuesday night debut, the Brent Key Coach’s Show will air live on Thursday of every game week throughout the 2026 season from 6-7 p.m., with the lone exceptions coming on the weeks of the Yellow Jackets’ Atlantic Coast Conference opener at Stanford and the regular-season finale versus archrival Georgia. The pre-Stanford and pre-Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate editions of the Brent Key Coach’s Show will air on Wednesday, Sept. 23 and Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, Nov. 25, respectively.

New Realm Brewing Co. will once again be the regular home of the Brent Key Coach’s Show in 2026. Fans are invited to New Realm, located just off the Atlanta Beltline and a short drive from Georgia Tech’s Midtown campus, for every edition of the Brent Key Coach’s Show throughout the season. Every show is free and open to the public for Tech fans to come out and show their support for Key and the Jackets.

New Realm is the Official Craft Beer of Georgia Tech athletics. Its Georgia Tech-inspired beers, Ale of an Engineer and Helluvienna Lager, can be found not only at New Realm Brewing Co. off the Beltline, but also at your local retailer.

The 2026 Brent Key Coach’s Show schedule also includes bringing the Homecoming week edition of the show to Georgia Tech’s campus, in recognition of Tech students’ continued record support of Yellow Jacket football. Georgia Tech has once again completely sold out student season tickets in 2026, setting an all-time record for the third-straight year with more than 7,000 student season tickets sold. This year’s ultra-popular on-campus edition of the Brent Key Coach’s Show will be held at the Kappa Alpha fraternity house. KA was selected as the site of the show after leading all Georgia Tech Greek organizations in football attendance in 2025. The show at the KA house (801 Techwood Drive NW) will be open to all Georgia Tech students, but due to space limitations and safety considerations, is not open to the general public.

For fans that can’t make it in person, the Brent Key Coach’s Show can be heard worldwide on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets app and statewide on the Georgia Tech Sports Network, including flagship station 680 AM/97.3 FM The Fan in Atlanta (when there are conflicts with 680 The Fan’s live coverage of Atlanta Braves baseball, the Brent Key Coach’s Show will air on 680 The Fan’s sister station, Xtra 106.3 FM/1230 AM).

For the fourth-straight year, every edition of the Brent Key Coach’s Show will be followed by The Good Word, hosted by Georgia Tech Sports Network sideline reporter Chris Mooneyham and pregame show host Justin Hanover. The Good Word will take listeners in-depth on Yellow Jackets talk and analysis each week from 7-8 p.m. and can be heard worldwide on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets app and exclusively in the Atlanta area on 680 AM/93.7 The Fan or Xtra 106.3 FM/1230 AM.

Georgia Tech posted a 9-4 overall record (tied for the 10^th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season football history) and No. 24 final national ranking in 2025. The Jackets rose to as high as No. 7 in the national rankings and were ranked in the final 14 national polls of the season, which was their longest streak since Tech was ranked in all 16 polls in 1999.

Georgia Tech also went 6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play in ‘25, which was good for a tie for second place in the 17-team conference. The Yellow Jackets are the only ACC team that has finished in the top four of the conference standings each of the last three seasons.
