WHAT ISFLAG FOOTBALL?
The fast-paced, non-contact sport that's taking the world by storm — and heading to the 2028 Olympics.
The Sport at a Glance
Flag football is an exciting, non-contact version of American football. Instead of tackling, defenders remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier to end a down. Players wear flag belts with two flags dangling from the hips.
The game is played with teams of 5 to 7 players on each side, on a smaller field, making it fast, high-scoring, and accessible to all ages and fitness levels.
