The Tom Brady vs. Logan Paul flag football game could likely move from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to the United States.
NFL legend Tom Brady and WWE Superstar Logan Paul were scheduled to compete against each other in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 21. However, according to Front Office Sports, the game is likely headed to the United States because of airstrikes and travel restrictions in the region.
The move comes after Iran retaliated against the United States and Israel’s attack by striking the U.S. bases in neighbouring countries, including Saudi Arabia. Several Iranian drones had also struck the U.S. embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday, and President Donald Trump has vowed to retaliate.
Sources indicated that the event will still take place on March 21, with Fox Sports and Tubi set to broadcast the showcase, and actor/comedian Kevin Hart will act as the host. Tom Brady’s Shadow Lion studio is assisting with the event’s production.
Several NFL stars will join Tom Brady and Logan Paul in the showcase, with the announced lineup including Jayden Daniels, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Sauce Gardner, Myles Garrett, Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby, Tyreek Hill, Odell Beckham Jr., and Rob Gronkowski.
Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, and Kyle Shanahan will be the coaches of the three teams playing the round-robin tournament.
While there’s no word about a specific location yet, an official announcement could come as soon as this week.
Logan Paul might’ve teased a potential replacement location
Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady were working out together in an Instagram reel. While Gronk tried to give Logan Paul his flowers for proving his skills in combat sports, Brady opted to flat-out call Paul a b*tch.
Responding to Tom Brady’s comments on the latest episode of IMPAULSIVE, Logan Paul claimed that he might throw hands with Brady when they meet in the field. He might’ve also let it slip that Los Angeles could be the replacement venue for the flag football game.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if I throw hands with Tom Brady on the field in LA during that flag football game,” Paul said. “I’m not kidding. Trust me, Tom Brady does not want to throw hands with me. Also, there’s a clip of him out there, of him calling me a b*tch. Him and Gronk, going back and forth, Tom Brady calling me a b*tch to Gronk of all people? I beat up all of his brothers back to back to back in a boxing ring.”
