Flag football is heading to Saudi Arabia next year, and the San Francisco 49ers will be represented by head coach Kyle Shanahan and running back Christian McCaffrey at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh. Shanahan will coach one of the three teams in the tournament, while McCaffrey is set to join several players competing in the event.
Other notable participants include Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Maxx Crosby, Sauce Gardner, and Myles Garrett. Past superstars Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are also involved.
Pete Carroll and Sean Payton will lead the remaining two teams.
The tournament kicks off on March 21, 2026, just a month after Super Bowl LX. FOX Sports and Tubi will broadcast the games, with Kevin Hart hosting the event.
