Flag football is headed to the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Whether or not NFL players will be able to participate is a decision that is forthcoming, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday at the Annual League Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida.
"I think that's something that we'll continue to discuss with, not just the union, but also the clubs," Goodell said, via The Associated Press. "I think both of those are things that we'll probably resolve sometime in the next 60 days."
In October of 2023, the International Olympic Committee added flag football for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Shortly thereafter, the league announced it would work with the NFL Players Association to allow current and former NFL players to participate. While work is still underway, anticipation and the hope of participation have grown.
"I've heard directly from a lot of players who want to participate and represent their country, whether it's United States or the country that they came from," Goodell said.
Within a couple months, those players should find out if they'll be able to don a pair of flags for a trip to L.A. in the summer of 2028.
