NFL FLAG Fall Regionals 2026 pricing
The official Browns and Jets Fall Regional pages list the following team pricing structure:

|---|---|---|
| Early bird registration | August 4–24, 2026 | $399 per team |
| Late registration | August 25–31, 2026 | $549 per team |
The price is listed per team rather than per athlete. The registration package includes tournament participation, NFL FLAG jerseys, and flag belts. Custom jersey names may be available as an optional add-on. Because pricing and deadlines can be event-specific, teams should confirm the final amount on the official event page before payment.
NFL FLAG regional pages describe divisions ranging from youth coed competition through high school girls competition. All age divisions use an August 1 cutoff. The exact divisions can vary by tournament, so a team should confirm availability on its event page before registering.

| 8U Coed | Youngest listed youth coed division; verify birth-year rules on the event page |

The Recreation Division is reserved for eligible programs such as Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, JCC, PAL, or Park and Recreation NFL FLAG programs. Athletes must have participated in an eligible program within the 12 months before the event. Teams that do not meet the Recreation Division definition may be moved to the coed division without a refund.
NFL FLAG Regionals use a 5v5 non-contact format. A roster may include up to 10 players and a maximum of two coaches. Teams should review the current NFL FLAG tournament rules and rule changes before arriving.
- Least games lost
- Most games won
- Head-to-head record when only two teams are tied
- Points against

- Coin toss
Winning a regional locks the qualified roster for the NFL FLAG Championships. The full athlete and coach roster becomes final, qualified players cannot attend another regional in another division, and the qualified team cannot change championship age divisions.
The Browns regional page states that check-in opens at 7:30 a.m. and the first games begin at 9:00 a.m. Teams are advised to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before their first game.
Before tournament day, coaches should confirm:
- Athlete verification and roster status
- The current tournament rulebook
- Parking and venue instructions
- Hotel requirements, if the team is traveling
- Weather and local field conditions
- The event contact information listed on the official page
Stay-and-play housing requirements
Some regional tournaments have a mandatory housing requirement for teams traveling from outside a 75-mile driving radius of the venue. When the requirement applies, teams must use the official housing provider identified on the event page. Failure to follow the housing requirement may put a team’s tournament entry at risk.
How teams qualify for the NFL FLAG Championships
A team qualifies for the NFL FLAG Championships Presented by Toyota by winning its age division at a regional or super regional tournament. The winning team receives a full bid to the championship event.
