Like you, we miss football.
While we wait with you for its return, we’ve been inspired by the ways you continue to play together and help your teammates. In a time where we need to stay physically apart, we know the role that games are playing for millions of people around the world in helping us to stay connected, entertained, and safe, and in helping others as we stay home to save lives.
Our message is simple: Stay Home. Play Together.
