U Sports will introduce women's flag football as a pilot sport for the 2027-28 season. The organization will work with Football Canada on the sport's introduction and execution. A pilot sport is re-evaluated after five years to determine whether it deserves full-sport status.

Women's flag football will increase the number of U Sports championships to 24, including 13 women's sports. Football Canada has sanctioned a Canadian Collegiate Flag Football Championship for the last four years, with Quebec universities dominating the women's tournament.

Davies added that the sport's growth at the grassroots, university, and international levels, including its debut at the 2028 Olympic Games, creates new competitive pathways for student-athletes. ” Polak said the decision creates a clear pathway for thousands of young women to continue their football journey from community fields to university competition and beyond.

Men's and women's flag football will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
