NFL FLAG Championships map out Westfield schedule, travel rules

The third annual NFL FLAG Championships presented by Toyota are turning Westfield into a four-day tournament hub from July 23-26, with championship games set for Sunday, July 26. Families as much as teams will need to know where to go, when to arrive, how to book travel and what to expect once the weekend starts moving field to field.

Westfield gets the championship stage

The tournament will be held at Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, Indiana, at 19000 Grand Park Blvd. The NFL announced the move to Westfield on Jan. 27, 2026, and this is the event’s first run in the region. The site is a 400-plus-acre sports complex with more than 30 multi-purpose fields, which is exactly the kind of footprint needed when more than 350 girls’ and boys’ teams are all trying to play on one championship weekend.

Grand Park is home to the Indianapolis Colts’ training camp. Visit Hamilton County identifies Westfield as the host community, so families will be moving not just to a tournament venue, but into a full travel weekend built around the campus and the surrounding amenities.

What the four-day schedule means

July 23-26 is a full competition window, with NFL Experience hours and game-play windows across all four days. Arrival time, food breaks, shade, parking and sideline movement all need to fit around the published flow instead of being decided at the gate.

The final day is where the weekend tightens into its biggest games and biggest crowd traffic. The action starts before then, and the earlier days are part of the competition, not just setup time.

Travel and check-in are tightly controlled

The biggest off-field rule is the stay-to-play requirement. Teams must book through the designated travel system, centralizing hotel blocks and travel patterns.

Check-in is being handled after the spring regional circuit, with exact timeslot scheduling instead of walk-up check-in. The 2026 spring regional schedule is the qualifying path to Westfield, so the road to the title games starts well before teams reach Indiana.

The field is bigger than one weekend

More than 350 girls’ and boys’ teams will compete in Westfield, and the scale goes well beyond the U.S. The NFL puts flag football at more than 20 million players across 100-plus countries and six continents.

Broadcast access and fan entry

ESPN will return on-site to broadcast and stream the 2026 FLAG Championships for the Boys 14u, High School Girls Division and International division games across the weekend.

Fans can register for free entry through NFL OnePass, which the NFL says provides the most up-to-date information for the weekend. Families trying to keep up with field assignments, access details and event-day changes will need the app in their travel kit.

How to move through the weekend without friction

Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus is large enough that the trip will work best if everyone plans around the campus, not just the game clock. With more than 30 multi-purpose fields spread across a 400-plus-acre complex, the distance between check-in, games, fan zones and parked cars can become a real part of the day.

The smartest plan is simple: lock in the required travel booking, watch for the assigned check-in time after the spring regional pathway is complete, use NFL OnePass for the latest event details and build each day around the published NFL Experience and game-play windows.
