There will be a chance for sports fans who have always wanted to play against their heroes. Fanatics has started a new game series called Fanatics Games. The first event will be at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 in June.
One hundred fans will be chosen by Fanatics to fight against a group of fifty athletes, musicians, streamers, celebrities, WWE superstars, influencers, entertainers, and more. There will be eight different sports events in the battle, showing off a wide range of athletic skills.
Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart, IShowSpeed, Dirski, Logan Paul, Micah Parsons, CJ Stroud, James Harden, Alex Rodriguez, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyreek Hill, Jayden Daniels, Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Rhea Ripley are some of the famous people who are going to be in Fanatics Games.
Michael Rubin is the CEO of Fanatics and wants to find the world’s best athlete. Fans and superstars will participate in a quarterback challenge, an NBA 3-point contest, a baseball pitching contest, a hockey puck shooting contest, a UFC striking contest, a soccer goal scoring contest, a WWE superstar entrance contest, and a golf contest to see who can hit the ball the farthest.
People who enter, both stars and fans, will have a chance to win a $1 million big prize. The winner of the third place prize will get a 2003 Topps Chrome LeBron James rookie card that is worth about $250,000, and the winner of the second prize prize will get a new Ferrari 812 GTS.
Both Quavo and Gillie Da Kid went to Rubin’s Instagram comments section to put their names in the hat, and Huncho thinks he has a good chance. He wrote, “Come on now, you know you’re gonna win.”
All of this will happen at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025, which runs from June 20 to June 22 at the Javits Center. It is still possible to buy tickets.
