The National Football League (NFL) is taking a major step into the future of flag football. The league announced a partnership with TMRW Sports to build and operate a new professional flag football league for both men and women.
The venture arrives as the sport continues to gain traction worldwide, fueled by increased participation, investment interest and upcoming Olympic exposure.
The new league will be backed by a high-profile group of investors that blends football royalty with global sports icons. Among those involved are Hall of Fame quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Joe Montana and Steve Young, along with star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. They are joined by former and current NFL standouts, including Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner.
