Jets and ECAC launch largest collegiate women’s flag football league in the US
December 2, 2025
The New York Jets and the Eastern College Athletic Conference have announced the launch of the largest collegiate women’s flag football league in the U.S., set to start in February. This league will include 15 universities across several Northeast states. Jets owner Woody Johnson is investing $1 million to support the league’s creation and operation. The Jets have been supporting girls’ flag football since 2011, helping to establish leagues at various levels. This new initiative aims to bridge the gap between high school and professional opportunities for women in the sport.
