The Riyadh Season event lands at Kingdom Arena, bringing fast-paced flag football and a Kevin Hart-hosted spectacle.
Saudi Arabia’s sporting calendar has gone from busy to blockbuster. With headline events spanning boxing, Formula 1 and wrestling, the Kingdom is doubling down on its ambition to sit at the centre of global sport and entertainment. Next up is a major American import, led by Tom Brady, one of the biggest names in the game.
NFL icon Tom Brady is bringing the Fanatics Flag Football Classic to Riyadh, marking the event’s global debut as part of Riyadh Season. Taking place on 21 March at Kingdom Arena, the night promises a high-energy mix of competition and celebrity moments.
The format is built for pace. Fans can expect three star-studded teams going head-to-head in a series of fast, action-heavy flag football matchups. The line-up will blend current professional players with former sports legends, alongside a wider mix of recognisable faces set to add extra hype to the evening.
Comedian and actor Kevin Hart will host, keeping the momentum going between plays with his trademark humour. But the action extends beyond the field, too. Organisers are promising interactive fan experiences, cultural performances and live entertainment moments designed to keep the arena buzzing from start to finish.
If you’ve never watched flag football, here’s the quick version. It’s a non-contact take on American football where players wear flags attached to their belts. Instead of tackling, defenders stop the play by pulling a flag. Of course, Brady’s involvement is the headline. Widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, he brings a record-breaking legacy and a global fanbase to one of Riyadh Season’s biggest events.
Tickets for the Tom Brady Fanatics Flag Football Classic are now on sale, starting at SAR 35 per person, making it one of the most accessible events of the season.
Whether you’re a die-hard NFL fan or simply curious about the hype, this is one to catch live.
