BYU Radio (stylized as BYUradio) is a podcast network and a talk radio station run by Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, United States. The podcast network provides family-friendly and lifestyle programming as well as content related to BYU Cougars sports. Sports events are live streamed and air alongside podcasts on the radio station, which is broadcast on FM radio (KUMT 107.9 FM and KBYU-FM 89.1 HD2) on the Wasatch Front and nationally on SiriusXM Radio channel 143.

BYU Radio began in its present form on August 1, 2002, but its roots date to the LDS Radio Network, a service of the LDS Church–owned Bonneville International. It broadcast using FM subcarriers and satellite coverage from 1994 to 2002 and aired church music and religious programs. Under BYU, its focus broadened to include sports coverage, and two secondary streams were added and operated from 2003 to 2011. That year, BYU Radio was added to the SiriusXM lineup. In 2018, BYU purchased KUMT to provide a full-time FM broadcast in northern Utah for BYU Radio. The service has broadened its scope to include a suite of podcasts.
