Brady will join Saquon Barkley, Ceedee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Maxx Crosby, Rob Gronkowski and others at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riad. Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will be the coaches.
“It’s a several years commitment,” Brady said Monday. “Obviously, we are having a good start. The first year will be a bit where everyone’s attention and energy are found. It is the first time we have done something like that, but all the players I have spoken with are excited to play.
“Obviously, with the Olympic Games in 2028, I think it is the first exhibition of the NFL players, and I did not want to miss being part of that.”

Fox Sports will television the tournament and comedian Kevin Hart will be the host. Brady partnered with Turki Alalshikh, president of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority.
“I could not be more excited to return to the field, make competitive juices “I have always admired the power of the flag football and how it connects fans of all ages, and it is incredible to be able to show sport on such a global stage while joining so many incredibly skilled athletes.”
Gronkowski, who is Fox Sports analyst like Brady, said his former teammate of the New England patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers asked him to be part of the flag football event.
“I thought, ‘There is no contact, right?'” He said. “I thought, ‘I already made all my contact in my life. I paid my quotas in that department.’ I love competing.

“It will always be in my blood because I have been doing it all my life. It brings me joy.”
