NFL FLAG Expands Annual Tournament Series

NFL FLAG has recently announced the expansion of its 2021-2022 Tournament Series with the addition of the NFL FLAG Opens and NFL FLAG Bowl at Super Bowl LVI.

NFL FLAG Opens and NFL FLAG Bowl at Super Bowl LVI join the NFL FLAG Regional Tournaments and NFL FLAG Championships at Pro Bowl as part of the NFL FLAG Tournament Series.

The 2021 NFL FLAG Tournament Series offers athletes more opportunities to compete than ever before, including younger and older age divisions, recreational divisions, and expanded opportunities for girls.

For the first time, non-NFL FLAG teams are invited to compete in the NFL FLAG Opens. The NFL FLAG Opens will include a total of 16 tournaments – 8 tournaments run by NFL FLAG and 8 sanctioned tournaments run by third party operators. Winning teams from all 16 tournaments will go on to compete at the NFL FLAG Bowl at Super Bowl LVI.

“Every child deserves a chance to play,” said NFL FLAG Executive Director Izell Reese. “As we’ve worked to expand NFL FLAG, we’ve seen increased interest from all age groups and genders. We’re excited to add new tournaments like the NFL FLAG Opens to provide even more opportunities for kids to get in the game.”
