J Balvin said in a statement, “Being a part of a huge flag game like this during Super Bowl week is going to be awesome. I’m ready to lead my team, bring the vibes and put on a fun show that fans will remember.”

Druski (Drew Desbordes), who served as head referee in the 2025 NFL-YouTube flag-football game, commented: “I won MVP of my middle school church flag league for the most pass breakups in a single game, so I expect to bring a similar amount of intensity to the field on February 7th.”

The game will be available on the NFL’s YouTube channel and simulcast by Deestroying, Jesser and Pierson Wodzynski on their respective YouTube channels. Fans can also watch a Spanish-language broadcast on NFL Mundo’s YouTube channel.

“This annual flag game has quickly become one of Super Bowl week’s most anticipated fan events, bringing together sports, entertainment and culture in a way that is truly authentic,” said Ian Trombetta, the NFL’s SVP of social, influencer and content marketing. “Partnering with YouTube, we’re highlighting the rapid global growth of flag football, while creating an experience that brings fans around the world closer to the sport as well as the creators and stars they love.”
