How will flag football work at the 2028 Olympics? What you need to know

Our Summary

NFL players may make their Olympic debut in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games. This marks a shift as flag football, approved by the International Olympic Committee, will be included in the Olympics with both men's and women's events. NFL team owners are expected to vote on allowing their players to participate, although concerns about injuries and game overlap remain. The Olympic format will feature modified rules: a shorter field, no linemen, and five-on-five play. Team USA's construction will consider existing flag football talent alongside NFL stars, aiming to create a "Dream Team" similar to the 1992 basketball lineup.
