NFL will embrace 250 years of the USA
Our Summary
The NFL will introduce a special football in 2026 to commemorate the United States' 250th anniversary. Beginning in Week 18, a ball featuring a smaller NFL shield alongside an "America 250" message will be used in games. Additionally, "America 250" markings will be present on playing fields, branded coins will be used for the coin toss, and team shops will offer club-specific America 250 apparel. The NFL is coordinating with the White House for this initiative, which is significant as the league's merger with ESPN, involving a 10 percent stake acquisition, requires approval from the current administration.
