The flag football competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022,[1] in Birmingham, Alabama in the United States.[2]
Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Flag football competition made its debut as invitational sport of The World Games programme and featured eight men's teams and eight women's teams from around the world who competed at Legion Field.
On July 20, 2020, the International World Games Association (IWGA), National Football League (NFL), and International Federation of American Football (IFAF) announced that flag football would join the existing lineup of 32 unique, multi-disciplinary sports[4] for the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama.
