The ⁠non-tackle form of the ⁠gridiron game makes its Olympic debut in LA ⁠and the ‌NFL has moved aggressively to promote the sport and harness its commercial ⁠potential, with the men's and women's professional league a ‌key piece of its strategy.

"We’re building a global ⁠platform to showcase the world’s top flag football players and to engage fans in a premium experience," Brian Flinn, ⁠NFL senior vice president, global flag football, said in a statement.

"The launch of Premier Flag creates a new professional opportunity for the ⁠world’s best players."

The Tiger Woods-backed TMRW Sports will serve as the operational partner for Premier Flag, with a US host city to be announced in the coming weeks.

The league, ⁠backed by an investor group that includes all 32 NFL team owners, plans ‌to build the first purpose-built stadium for flag football.
