2024 NFL FLAG Regional Tournament Series
As flag football grows in popularity worldwide, the NFL is revamping the 2024 NFL FLAG Regional Tournament Series and NFL FLAG Championships to further enhance the experience for every participant. Stay tuned to our website and social media to be the first to know about these exciting announcements.
In the meantime, here’s an inside look at some of the initial updates:
- Timing of tournaments: Regional Tournaments will start in the fall and end in the spring, as we partner with NFL Clubs to host Regional Tournaments. This not only offers participants in new markets a chance to compete, but it also means there’s more time for teams to attend more than one tournament. Additionally, the NFL FLAG Championships will be held every summer.
- 2024 Spring Tournament age divisions: For Regional Tournaments taking place in the spring, age divisions will increase by one year to accommodate the previous fall regional participant ages. This ensures fair play across all regional winners who qualify for 2024 NFL FLAG Championships. This is a temporary change and will return back to the traditional “even” age divisions following the 2024 Summer NFL FLAG Championships.
- New spring 2024 age divisions: 9u, 9uRec, 11u, 11uRec, 11uG, 13u, 13uRec, 13uG, 15u, 15uG, 18uG
- NFL FLAG Championship qualifiers: Qualifiers from the fall 2023 and spring 2024 Regional Tournaments will compete at the 2024 NFL FLAG Championships in July. With this being a transition year, the NFL wants to ensure a positive and meaningful experience for every boy and girl who plays—and that means allowing more to participate.
