## Summary

The NFL and TMRW Sports have named their new professional flag football league Premier Flag, with its first season set for summer 2027. The launch will come before flag football features at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as the NFL aims to grow the sport both as a route into traditional American football and as a competition in its own right.

The inaugural season is planned for a purpose-built stadium, whose location has not been announced, and media rights are still being discussed. All 32 NFL team owners are investors, alongside institutional and celebrity backers; TMRW Sports says the league will feature top women and men and provide professional training and coaching. A Premier Flag Showcase is planned during Super Bowl LXI week.
