MARCH 10, 2026 (LOS ANGELES) - The Fanatics Flag Football Classic, a groundbreaking global event from Fanatics Studios, the joint venture between Fanatics and OBB Media, Tom Brady and FOX Sports, has announced its full list of participants for the inaugural event set to take place on March 21 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
The newly-structured, first-of-its-kind competition includes three 12-player teams: two comprised of an incredible mix of current and former NFL stars and elite global athletes, and the third represented by USA Football's reigning IFAF Flag Football World Champion U.S. Men's National Team, setting up a world-class showdown between many of the biggest names in sports and the most accomplished flag players in the world.
Founders FFC will be captained by Tom Brady and Jalen Hurts and coached by Sean Payton. Wildcats FFC will be captained by Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow and coached by Kyle Shanahan. On Wednesday, March 18, Brady/Hurts and Daniels/Burrow will draft their 12-person teams from a pool of 24 current and former NFL stars and athletes listed below. Other notable talent involved in the event will include Kevin Hart, Druski and Travis Scott.

I'm fired up to see how these teams stack up, and the fact that we'll be playing in the same stadium that will host flag football during the Olympics will show the world a preview of what's to come in 2028.
