Sacramento State Adds Women's Flag Football

Sacramento State is set to launch the NCAA’s first Division I women’s flag football program in 2027–2028, following a powerful student-led push that included a viral petition. Starting as a club team this fall with 15+ players, the program will transition to varsity status with scholarships once approved by the NCAA in January 2027. Raia Brown, a standout high school player and key advocate, is thrilled to be part of this historic moment — one that reflects the sport’s explosive growth and the rising demand from female athletes across California.
