Tom Brady was set to headline a star-studded flag football showcase Saturday at BMO Stadium, where current and former NFL players will take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
The event will feature two 12-player teams composed of past and present NFL standouts, along with a U.S. national team, in what organizers described as a fast-paced exhibition highlighting the growing popularity of flag football.
Brady will co-captain Founders FCC alongside Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The roster is expected to include former teammate Rob Gronkowski, along with Alvin Kamara, DeVonta Smith, Patrick Peterson and Ashton Jeanty.
Wildcats FCC will be co-captained by Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Players slated for that team include Davante Adams, Saquon Barkley, DeAndre Hopkins and Jalen Ramsey.
The exhibition is scheduled to feature two 15-minute halves on a 50-by-25-yard field.
Organizers said the game is designed to bring together players from different eras for a competitive but friendly showcase of the non-contact version of football, which has seen increasing interest at both the amateur and professional levels.
Kickoff was set for 1 p.m., with the event being televised on FOX Sports and streamed on FOX platforms.
