The Largest Youth Flag Football League in the U.S.
Serving youth athletes ages 4 to 17 years old across the country. NFL FLAG leagues are no contact, giving boys and girls of all abilities a chance to develop their fundamental football skills in a positive, inclusive environment.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower youth athletes and instill a lifelong passion for flag football through leagues that are engaging, fun, and accessible for everyone. With the support of the NFL, we provide a structured opportunity for kids to discover the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendship—both on and off the field.
TOURNAMENTS & EVENTS
The NFL FLAG tournament series brings together leagues from across the country to showcase their talent and compete against top teams. The NFL FLAG Regional Tournament is an invite-only event, where winners from each region are invited to face off at the national NFL FLAG Championships at Pro Bowl. And the NFL FLAG Open Tournament, which includes non-NFL FLAG leagues, gives winners a chance to attend the national NFL FLAG Bowl at Super Bowl.
FLAG IS ON THE RISE
While youth participation in sports has declined 13 percent over the last decade, flag football has become one the fastest growing youth sports in the country. In fact, the number of 6-to-12-year-olds playing has increased by 38 percent, to more than 1.5 million, since 2015. And NFL FLAG is leading the way as the largest flag football league in the U.S., with more than 1,600 leagues in 50 states.
FEMALES IN FLAG
NFL FLAG is dedicated to creating more opportunities for female athletes to participate in flag football. We know that the game will only get stronger with the more girls who play. In addition to implementing girls-only leagues and tournaments, we’ve also teamed up with National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and RCX Sports to make women’s flag football a sanctioned college sport for the first in history.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
We’re committed to creating positive sports experiences for youth athletes, regardless of their financial situation, so that they can become confident, happy, and healthy adults. That’s why we’ve made strategic partnerships to bring flag football to the thousands of schools, communities, and families.
The 2024 NFL Flag Winter Season runs Jauary 12th - March 8th. Games and Practices take place on Friday Nights.
