WINNIPEG, MB., April 1, 2026 - The Winnipeg Football Club is proud to announce the launch of the third annual season of the High School Girls Flag Football League, presented by Bell.

Continuing to build on the success of the last two years, the league has seen significant growth again this year, adding a fourth game night, with ten additional teams. In 2026, the league will see a total of 40 teams from various high schools in and surrounding Winnipeg.

Over the course of six weeks, more than 480 athletes will compete, showcasing their skills and passion for the sport.

"The growth of this league has been tremendous heading into its third year. Good luck to all the teams competing," said Wade Miller, President and CEO of the Winnipeg Football Club. "Bell's support of this program, along with their ongoing commitment to our amateur football programs, helps us break down barriers to participation and create more opportunities for young women in the sport."

As part of its continued commitment to increasing accessibility, the Winnipeg Football Club provides all required equipment for participating teams, ensuring financial constraints are not a barrier to play.

"Bell is proud to partner with the Winnipeg Football Club to support the continued expansion of the High School Girls Flag Football League, encouraging participation and creating more inclusive pathways for young women in sport," said David Kennedy, Vice President of Brand and Sponsorship at Bell. "The league's year over year growth reflects the impact of collaboration to invest in the next generation of athletes in Manitoba and the future of the game. We wish participating teams every success as they take the field for a new season."

The league runs from April 6 to May 14, with games held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The season will culminate in an exciting championship event and select teams will have the unique opportunity to play during halftime of the Blue Bombers' game on May 29.

New in 2026, athletes from the league are invited to participate in a Media Day at Princess Auto Stadium, in addition to the inaugural Game Changers Leadership Conference on April 9th.
