They’re a package deal!

Former NFL stars Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will be on the same team when they take the field next year for a starry flag football game, Brady exclusively told Page Six.

The seven-time Super Bowl champ has teamed with Michael Rubin’s Fanatics, Fox Sports and OBB Media to create the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

Scheduled for March 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — as part of the annual “Riyadh Season” fest — participating players are set to include gridiron greats Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Sauce Gardner, Myles Garrett, Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby, Tyreek Hill and onetime Giants favorite Odell Beckham Jr.

And while the teams haven’t been decided, Brady told us one thing’s for sure: He’ll be paired with Gronk, his teammate of 11 pro seasons.

“I would never go against him,” the five-time Super Bowl MVP winner told us of his former favorite tight end on the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady added that some NFL GMs have even already approached him about picking the three squads for the flag football game.

Brady further told us on Monday that he’s taking the competition seriously since, “I’m still being very competitive in what I do,” even after retiring.

Brady is now Fox’s No. 1 NFL analyst, and he teased the flag football announcement while on the call for the Eagles-Chiefs game on Sunday. “Obviously, I wanna check out that game — the Raiders-Chargers [Monday] night,” he said. “But I also got a great announcement I’m gonna make. Something I’ve been working on for a very long time, I’m excited to announce to the world.”

He retired from the NFL in 2023, and Gronk hung up his cleats in 2022.

The Fanatics Flag Football Classic — the latest collaboration between Fanatics mogul Rubin, 53, and Brady, 48 — will air on FOX Sports and Tubi.

The event includes three teams of eight players in a round-robin tournament, with the top two teams advancing to a championship round.

The games will follow Olympic-style flag football rules on a 50-yard field with a 5-on-5 format and two 20-minute halves.
