The Los Angeles-based squad representing the Seattle Seahawks captured the 2026 NFL FLAG girls' high school title Sunday, defeating its opponent 15-14 in overtime at the NFL FLAG Championships in Westfield, Indiana. A two-point conversion on the last possession delivered the championship and ended the four-day event with a decisive final play.

What happened

Seattle's representative prevailed in a championship game that remained unsettled through the end of regulation. The contest moved to overtime before the Seahawks squad converted for two points on the final possession, securing the girls' high school division title by the narrowest possible margin.

The winning play completed a 15-14 result and provided the closing moment of the third annual NFL FLAG Championships. The title belonged to a Los Angeles-based team competing under the Seattle Seahawks banner.

Why it matters

The victory came at the end of an event that drew more than 350 teams over four days, giving the Seahawks representative a championship in a large national field. Its overtime finish also put the girls' high school competition at the center of the tournament's conclusion.

The result arrives as girls' flag football approaches a significant international milestone. The sport will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, placing additional attention on the competition and the athletes participating in its expanding championship structure.

By the numbers

The final produced 29 combined points, with Seattle's representative accounting for 15 in the victory. The teams were separated by one point when the championship was decided, reflecting how little room existed between the winner and its opponent.

The decisive two-point conversion came on the last possession of overtime. Beyond the final score, the event's scale was defined by more than 350 participating teams and four days of competition before the Seahawks squad emerged with the girls' high school crown.

What to watch next

Attention now turns to the next NFL FLAG championship cycle and whether the Seahawks representative can defend its title. Repeating would require another run through an event that has already brought together hundreds of teams.

The 2026 championship also becomes part of the sport's path toward Los Angeles in 2028. For Seattle's representative, the immediate benchmark is clear: return to the NFL FLAG Championships and attempt to turn Sunday's overtime breakthrough into consecutive titles.
