National Lineman Day is a football initiative presented by the National Lineman Foundation in partnership with Global Football. Scheduled for December 12, 2026, the event aims to bring offensive and defensive linemen together through clinics in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Its purpose is to celebrate players whose work often happens outside the spotlight, help young athletes develop their skills, and connect them with coaches who understand the positions.

The initiative is being built by brothers Michael and Jacob Flores, whose football experience spans the Ivy League, Power Four and Group of Six programs, and the NFL. NFL veterans Justin Pugh and Lane Taylor are among the event’s captains, with additional captains to be announced. Families and athletes can check recruitment progress, find a state, and begin a national signup; local clinic participation is confirmed separately. Coaches can apply to host, while sponsors can support a local field, a state, or the national mission.
