With the progressively expanding sport coming to the 2028 Olympics, the NFL Flag is ramping up its efforts to accelerate flag football in lockstep with the growth of the traditional game.
Next month, Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio, will host the new NFL Flag Championships from July 18-21. This tournament, which will include 2,800 boys and girls players from 280 NFL Flag regional teams and six international teams, is part of the NFL’s prioritization of efforts to grow the game at a grassroots level. According to a press release from the league, the tournament will include a total of 2,500 players from 280 NFL Flag regional teams and six international teams.
