A star-studded game
Tom Brady won’t be alone. The tournament will feature stars like Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, CeeDee Lamb, Maxx Crosby, Sauce Gardner, and Myles Garrett. And of course, Rob Gronkowski will be there—Brady’s inseparable partner from the glory days in New England. The teams will be coached by elite names like Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, and Kyle Shanahan. The event promises to be more entertainment than competition, but with serious talent on display.

The NFL is pushing to position flag football as an Olympic sport for Los Angeles 2028. That’s why events like this are part of a global campaign. Having Tom Brady as an ambassador guarantees media attention, but also adds sporting credibility. At 48, the former player remains a magnetic figure—able to move audiences and headlines with a single sentence.
A symbolic return
Since retiring, Tom Brady has joined FOX Sports as a commentator, signing a $375 million contract. He also became a minority owner of the Raiders. Every move he makes off the field seems designed to keep the conversation around his legacy—and his possible return—alive.
This time, the comeback is symbolic. No tackles, no clock pressure, no defenders chasing him. But there will be passes, smiles, and a new way to see Tom Brady: as an icon, as an ambassador, and as someone who—even outside the NFL—is still part of the game.
