NFL owners will vote next week on a resolution that will allow players to participate in Flag Football during the 2028 Olympics, according to a memo sent to the team this week and released publicly on Thursday.

According to the resolution: “At the 2028 Summer Olympics, NFL players are involved in flag football participation…will support this growth and increase interest in several leagues, including increasing fans and public interest in flag football, expanding the NFL globally and providing more opportunities for our fans to participate and our league partners.”

The resolution establishes the rules and basic structure of how the NFL wants to view the process, but is negotiated with the NFL Participant Association and Olympic-related entities. They include:

• Any player under the permission of an NFL contract to participate in the trial match

• Limits for each NFL team to participate in one player per national team

• In addition, the team-designated international players are allowed to play for his home country

• Purchase a league-wide insurance policy to provide injury protection to any injured player when participating in an authorized flag-foot event related to the Olympics

• Salary rating credit for any injured player

• Expect Olympic Flag Football Team to build medical staff and on-site surfaces that meet NFL minimum standards

• Schedule “There is no unreasonable conflict with NFL players’ league and club commitments.”

The owners will gather in Eagan, Minnesota on Tuesday and Wednesday to consider resolutions between other league businesses at previously scheduled league meetings. Commissioner Roger Goodell, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and other key league officials supported the Olympics at the latest conference in Palm Beach, Florida last month.

The 2028 Summer Olympics is scheduled to be held from July 14, 2028 to July 30, 2028. NFL players usually take a break for most of this period. In the worst case, flag football participants miss the start of the training camp.
