Official Event Website

The Unrivaled Flag Football World Championships Powered by Under Armour (formerly the NFL Flag World Championships) brings youth teams from around the world to Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex for four days of competitive play across multiple age divisions. The 2027 edition marks the tournament's rebrand under Under Armour sponsorship — same premier event, same Orlando venue, new name to know when searching.

Skip the expensive "Stay to Play" hotel packages — our 6-bedroom vacation rental offers more space, more amenities, and better value. With a private pool, game room with foosball and darts, full kitchen, and room for up to 14 guests, Parkside Retreat is built for team families. Young athletes love the game room after a long day of competition, and parents appreciate the full kitchen and laundry facilities during a multi-day tournament. We're just 12 minutes from the venue and steps from Disney's theme parks.

The Real Cost of a Hotel vs. One Comfortable Home

Hotels look cheaper at first - until you factor in multiple rooms, fees (parking, resort fee, etc), and limited space. Our home offers room to relax, amenities you'll actually use, and a better overall value.

Family of 8 and plenty of space! The house is walking distance to the pool and clubhouse. The house was clean and had absolutely everything we needed! If we ever make a trip back to the area, we will definitely try and stay here again!
