Retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady has expressed openness to participating in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, though not as a competing athlete. In an interview with People magazine in March 2026, Brady responded to speculation about a potential role by stating, "I would never say never to being involved in something like that."
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, clarified that his comments were not about making a competitive comeback in a new sport. "I'm not training for the Olympics," he told the magazine, putting to rest rumors of an athletic pivot. The 2028 Games will be held in Los Angeles, a city with which Brady has professional ties from his final NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which included games at SoFi Stadium.
The nature of a potential involvement remains undefined. Past Olympiads have featured notable figures in ceremonial roles, such as flag bearers or final torch lighters. Organizers for LA28 have not announced any formal role for Brady. His statement simply leaves the door open for a future, non-competitive participation in the event.
