The biggest creators, celebrities, and NFL legends are going head-to-head in an ultimate game of Flag Football in London Saturday. THE NFL Flag Football Game on YouTube: London Edition will feature Team Gunna taking on Team Aitch LIVE from London at Copper Box Arena at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
In a city more accustomed to Premier League pitches and Wimbledon baselines, the Copper Box Arena will pulsate with American football fever today. The game will transform the Olympic legacy venue into a neon-lit gridiron battleground, blending hip-hop swagger, viral fame, and NFL pedigree into a 7-on-7 spectacle.
As the National Football League eyes flag football’s Olympic debut in 2028, this star-studded showdown will serve as a high-energy appetizer to Sunday’s New York Jets-Denver Broncos clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

At the heart of the high-profile event are two rosters dripping with charisma and credentials – Team Gunna vs. Team Aitch, each captained by rap heavyweights.
Team Aitch will be quarterbacked by former NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Team Gunna’s signal caller will be Mexican flag football sensation Diana Flores
Team Gunna brought Atlanta heat, led by the “Push Up” rapper himself, who said he’s confidence, “I’m ready to bring my energy to the field and lead my team. It’s great to team up with the NFL and YouTube on something that brings people together.”
Flores, an NFL ambassador whose pinpoint passes have lit up international circuits, will be looking a lot in the way of NFL legend Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
Rounding out the lineup: YouTube prankster Deestroying, silent comedy king Khaby Lame, podcaster Speedy Morman, Made in Chelsea alum Jamie Laing, I’m a Celebrity winner Sam Thompson, and Love Island’s Nella Rose.
Aitch, from Manchester, England said it’s exciting to rep his home country in the game, “When the NFL asked me to be a captain, I was gassed. Seeing how American football has blown up in the U.K. has been crazy.”
