NFL TNG Play Day Launch Event Hosted by Quavo
To celebrate the start of the new season, and in the spirit of youthful, throw-back fun, NFL Tuesday Night Gaming will premiere a special “field day” competition hosted by Quavo. NFL Tuesday Night Gaming Play Day will feature four teams stacked with celebrity talent from entertainment, music, gaming and the NFL with roster spots for names such as Desi Banks, Todd Gurley, MMG, J.I.D, and Rob49. Hosted at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the teams will compete across seven outdoor games including NFL FLAG, egg tosses and tug-of-war. To celebrate NFL TNG’s inaugural stream on Twitch, those who tune in and participate in chat will be able to interact with the event in real-time, deciding who from each team will compete, and which games they will play, as well as unlocking hidden challenges such as tying one team’s hand behind their back during the tug-of-war. The special episode will premiere on Sept. 5 from 1-4 p.m. EST.

Season 2 New Format and Top Talent
Also new this season is the team format captained by top streamers and content creators. Each captain has selected their teams made up of their favorite creators and friends with an aim to increase fan engagement and loyalty throughout the season. Each week, four teams will go head-to-head in a rotating two-game series with episodes culminating in a 1v1 Madden NFL Showmatch, a couch co-op style match where MMG, one of the biggest Madden streamers in the world, will challenge a variety of NFL talent throughout the season.
