- How escalating Middle East conflict is impacting Tom Brady’s football event in Saudi Arabia
The flag football tournament that Tom Brady is set to be a part of in Saudi Arabia is looking to move to the United States, a report from Front Office Sports revealed.
The three-team round-robin tournament was scheduled to begin March 21, 2026 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

But it is “trending toward moving” to the U.S. due to airstrikes as well as travel restriction in the Middle East.
A new location has not been finalized, but Front Office Sports reported an official announcement could come later this week.
Brady announced in September that he teamed up with Fanatics, FOX Sports and OBB Media for The Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
Rob Gronkowski , Saquon Barkley , Christian McCaffrey , CeeDee Lamb and Maxx Crosby are also taking part in the event.
Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will be the three coaches, and the teams will consist of former and current NFL players, other professional athletes and celebrities.

Leading up to the event, Brady and WWE star Logan Paul have had a feud with one another after Paul said he was the “highest level” of athlete.
Brady refuted that, called the WWE “cute” and took an expletive shot at Paul in a video posted to his Instagram account.
