Seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady is coming out of his retirement and will once again be playing football.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Brady will once again be playing football – but not quite returning to the NFL.
Brady will join current NFL stars Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, CeeDee Lamb, Maxx Crosby, Sauce Gardner, and Myles Garrett to compete in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic – a competitive flag football tournament taking place in Saudi Arabia on March 21, 2026.
In addition to Brady, his former New England Patriots teammate and fellow retired football star Rob Gronkowski will also be competing.
Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton, and San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan will be in charge of the three teams.
It’s the first competitive football that Brady will be playing in since he announced his retirement in February of 2023.
The legendary NFL star hung up his helmet and pads for the final time after being eliminated from the playoffs in the NFC Wild Card round for the 2022 season.
