NFL Launches Pro Flag Football League

It's March 31st.

From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI.

I'm Cory with the story.

The NFL just dropped big news, teaming up with TMRW Sports to launch a brand new professional

flag football league for both men and women.

Jacksonville Jaguar's defensive tackle, Eric Armstead, is one of the key investors jumping

in early.

This move hits right as Flag Football explodes worldwide, with about 20 million players

globally and youth participation jumping more than 50 percent since 2020.

Now 39 states have high school programs and over 100 colleges offer women's flag football.

Current NFL stars like Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson are investing too, alongside legends

such as Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Larry, Fitzgerald, Tom Brady, and

Eli Manning.

It's a who's who bridging the old guard in the new blood.

Last offseason, NFL owners Greenlit active players to compete in the 2028 Olympics were

flag footballed they've used in Los Angeles.

This league fills the pro gap, creating a clear path from youth to the gold medal stage.

Expect this to amp up the sports momentum even more, drawing sponsors, media, and fans

as it gears up for that Olympic spotlight.

Flag football is about to level up big time.
