However, bragging rights will be on for more than just NFL players when the event kicks off on March 21. The flag football competition will feature three star-studded squads, including a Team USA roster that could feature at the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Finally, the third roster will consist of flag football stars that already compete for Team USA. That includes quarterback Darrell Doucette III, who aims to be the starter at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Brady’s Fanatics event included five-on-five action on the gridiron as well as two 15-minute halves. The event will take place at BMO Field in Los Angeles as all three teams compete in a round-robin format.

The opportunity is certainly huge for current flag football players competing on Team USA, especially getting the chance to face off against so many legendary NFL talents. Meanwhile, the game is also an audition for flag football just two years before the sport makes its Olympics debut.
