Overview
- Fanatics’ three-team showcase kicks off Saturday, March 21 at BMO Stadium and will air on Fox starting at 4 p.m. ET with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen on the call.
- The tournament features Founders FFC captained by Brady and Jalen Hurts under coach Sean Payton, Wildcats FFC led by Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels with coach Kyle Shanahan, and the U.S. men’s national flag team.
- Organizers are using Olympic-style rules with five-on-five play and two 15‑minute halves in a round-robin format before a final.
- The event was relocated from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles because of the regional conflict in the Middle East and related travel and airspace concerns.
- Promoting the game on The Tonight Show, Brady traded light jabs with Logan Paul, said he texted trash talk to Burrow and Daniels, and noted he asked NFL players to cool tensions over Paul’s comments.
