Tom Brady Wins $1M Fanatics Games in New York City

Tom Brady won the inaugural Fanatics Games at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025, finishing first among 100 competitors with 399.1 points and taking home the $1 million prize. The event featured eight sports skill challenges including quarterback skills, basketball shooting, and a WWE entrance, with six of the top 10 finishers being fans alongside professional athletes like James Harden and Eli Manning. UFC fighter Justin Gaethje placed second, winning a Ferrari 296 GTB, while a fan, Matt Dennish, finished third, earning a rare LeBron James rookie card which he later sold to Brady. Brady, who is currently a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and a Fox Sports NFL analyst, pledged to give $5,000 to each of the 50 fans who competed and donate the rest of his winnings to charity. The competition highlighted Brady's competitive spirit beyond football, as he also entertained fans by tearing apart an Eli Manning jersey during the WWE challenge. At a related Fanatics event, Brady playfully recreated his iconic Super Bowl trophy toss, engaging with former teammate Rob Gronkowski to the crowd's delight.
