Tom Brady is coming out of retirement, sort of, to embark on a new football endeavor.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion announced Monday that he has teamed up with Fanatics, FOX Sports and OBB Media for The Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
The three-team, round-robin tournament will begin March 21, 2026 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“I want to help continue the global movement and momentum that our game is having,” Brady said prior to Monday’s game between his Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Brady won’t be the only big name taking part in the tournament. Rob Gronkowski, Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, CeeDee Lamb and Maxx Crosby are among the other participants.
Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will be the three coaches, and the teams will consist of former and current NFL players, other professional athletes and celebrities.
In May, the NFL voted to allow its players to play flag football in the 2028 Summer Olympics.
