Some events are bigger than the final score.
The Must See Classic 2026 brought together NFL talent, celebrity guests, community leaders, and football fans from across the Houston area for a day centered around competition, connection, and giving back.
Hosted by NFL standouts Steven Sims Jr. and Tremon Smith, the annual event serves as a fundraiser for the Must See Foundation's youth initiatives, including its summer football camp at Travis High School.

Held at Edward Mercer Stadium, the co-ed flag football showcase featured an impressive roster of professional athletes, celebrity guests, and community participants. Fans were treated to an afternoon filled with competitive play, sideline interactions, and opportunities to connect with some of football's biggest names.
Notable participants included James Proche II, Xavier Hutchinson, Montez Sweat, Marcus Allen, Diontae Johnson, and several other athletes who showed their support for the foundation's mission.
For 2LOUD, what stood out wasn't just the talent on the field—it was the purpose behind the event. Throughout the day, players took time to engage with fans, support local youth, and reinforce the importance of creating opportunities for the next generation.
As Houston continues to grow as a hub for sports, business, culture, and community leadership, events like the Must See Classic remind us that impact often extends far beyond the game itself.
