A new location has come with some added star power for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and the Team USA flag football roster have all signed on to participate in the Tom Brady-backed event, which was formally moved from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles after war broke out in the Middle East late last month.
Fanatics officially revealed the newcomers on Monday, as it confirmed the showcase will go down on March 21 at BMO Stadium, which is also scheduled to host flag football at the LA28 Olympic Games.
The round-robin tournament, which will mark Brady’s first time competing on the gridiron since 2023, will feature three teams of 12 playing in 30-minute games on 50-yard fields.
One of the squads, Founders FFC, will be captained by Brady and Hurts and coached by Sean Payton. Jayden Daniels and Burrow will captain another, Wildcats FFC, which will be coached by Kyle Shanahan.
New Titans coach Robert Saleh will have a role in setting up both teams’ defenses — and on March 18, a draft will take place to see which other NFL stars and sports figures will round out the rosters.
The third team in the event will feature the U.S. Men’s National Team — a championship lineup headlined by quarterback Darrell “Housh” Doucette.
The festivities will kick off at 1 p.m. PT and will air live on Fox Sports, Fox One and Tubi. Kevin Hart and Druski are slated to emcee it all.
