Unrivaled Adds Drew Brees Flag Football League to Portfolio

Unrivaled Sports has announced a partnership with Drew Brees to add Football ‘N’ America (FNA) — a youth flag football league co-founded by Brees — to its growing portfolio youth sports brands.

Unrivaled Flag and FNA will expand leagues nationwide through new operators and communities, and connect those leagues to Unrivaled Flag’s programming including High School Girls Nationals, The Gold Jacket Classic, and the Youth Flag World Championships.

The collaboration marks the start of a long-term partnership between Unrivaled Sports and Drew Brees, focused on the co-development of future events and programming for Unrivaled Flag. Unrivaled also plans to bring Brees’ leadership and vision to other sports across the company’s portfolio.

“Football ‘N’ America was built to give kids the same energy, teamwork, and joy that made me fall in love with the game in the first place,” said Drew Brees. “Unrivaled Sports shares that same vision—creating environments where young athletes can compete, develop, and dream big. I’m excited to partner with Unrivaled Sports as we work to grow the sport and advance the future of flag football—and ultimately, youth sports as a whole.”

This deal marks a key step in the expansion of Unrivaled Flag.

“We’re proud to work with Drew and the FNA team to create amazing athlete experiences and define the standard for the sport as flag continues to grow and gain popularity with girls and boys across the country,” said Jim Reynolds, CEO of Unrivaled Flag. “We’re inspired by the momentum surrounding flag football as it heads to the global stage in 2028, and proud to help lead the charge in the youth space.”

Co-founded in 2017 by Brees and Chris Stuart, FNA has 24 leagues nationwide.

“Drew shares our drive to create inspiring experiences that offer all young athletes the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through sports,” said Andy Campion, chairman and CEO of Unrivaled Sports. “Drew’s personal experiences as an elite multi-sport athlete and as a longstanding leader in youth football and soccer will help Unrivaled Sports create the future of flag football and youth sports more broadly.”
