The event also notably marks Brady’s first official return to the field since his 2023 retirement.
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.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will air live on FOX Sports, FOX One and Tubi from 4pm - 8:30pm ET / 1pm - 5:30pm PT. The event will also be streamed internationally on the Fanatics YouTube channel. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart will serve as the host alongside actor and comedian Druski.
The games will follow modified Olympic style flag football rules, featuring two 15-minute halves with a running clock on a 50 x 25-yard field. All three teams will meet in a round-robin tournament with the top two teams advancing to the championship.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic event will be produced by Fanatics Studios, the groundbreaking joint venture between Fanatics and OBB Media, quickly becoming the premier global studio for sports entertainment, in association with Shadow Lion. The telecast will be handled by FOX Sports.
