History

Established in 2007, the Flag Football National Championships provided an opportunity for athletes to develop and work towards the Canadian Flag Football League (CFFL) and national team competition.

The format of the Football Canada Flag National Championship has changed over the years. Beginning in 2011, in accordance with the growth of flag football and the development of Football Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, the Flag Football National Championships modified its under-15 co-ed division to separate boys and girls under-16 divisions. The under- 16 (U16) divisions supplemented the pre-existing U18 divisions which were added in 2010. The 2013 & 2014 editions of the flag nationals was composed of three divisions – male and female under-16 (U16) divisions in addition to a female under-18 (U18) division.

In 2017 the U16 East and West Regional Flag Challenges were established to help introduce players and coaches to tournament-style competition as they test their skills against neighbouring provinces. The events helped athletes develop as they work towards the under-18 national flag football championship as well as the Senior Nationals and national team competitions. In 2023, the U16 Championships shifted back to being a National Championship.

In 2024 Flag Nationals was rebranded as the Football Canada Flag Championships, that branched into two events: Elite Nationals and Club Nationals. Both events included U14,U16,U18,18(U19) boys and girls divisions. Teams representing their provinces competed in Elite Flag Nationals. Club teams from across the country will have a chance to compete for a National title in the Elite division at Club Flag Nationals. For clubs that did not qualify as their provincial champion, they have the opportunity to complete in the Open division.
