Tom will play in the new Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday, March 21, 2026, a flag football event at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, per Fox Sports.
Here’s how it’ll go: “The Fanatics Flag Football Classic is a round-robin tournament featuring three teams of current and legendary professional football players and world-class athletes, including Brady, who makes his first official return to the field since his retirement in 2023. The event will feature three teams of eight players facing off in a round-robin tournament, with the top two teams advancing to the championship.”
Per Fox’s announcement, Rob Gronkowski, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Sauce Gardner, Myles Garrett, Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby, Tyreek Hill and Odell Beckham Jr. are also going to participate.
“I played against a lot of the guys that are playing, and obviously have a tremendous amount of respect for them. It was really cool, the reception that they had. Talking to different owners, obviously wanted to call them and say, ‘Hey, I want to ask so and so to play.’ It’s just a great opportunity for those players to go over and see another part of the world and play the game that they love,” Tom said in a statement, via Fox Sports.
More players are still to be announced.
The event will be broadcast live on FOX Sports and Tubi, and Kevin Hart will host. Stay tuned for more details!
