Tom Brady is no stranger to the Super Bowl scene.
The NFL legend, 48, caught up with PEOPLE on the blue carpet at EA Sports Presents Madden Bowl, and revealed who's in his squad of celebrity pals for the party-filled 2026 Super Bowl weekend.
"Oh, I got all my friends!" Brady tells PEOPLE before heading into the buzzy event at the Chase Center on Friday, Feb. 6.

"They're all down here. We got Julian [Edelman] with me right here. He's usually pretty fun to hang out with," he jokes of his longtime New England Patriots teammate, who he won three Super Bowls alongside in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
In addition to Edelman, Rob Gronkowski — retired Patriots tight end and close friend of Brady— is also in town.
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, speaks highly of his career-making team's reunion this weekend. "Yeah, we always have a great time. These are my brothers," he says.

The outing comes after he received backlash from New England fans and some of his former teammates for saying that he doesn't "have a dog in the fight" for this year's big game. Brady's former team will take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
"It's nice to be in the Bay Area. It's my hometown, so a lot of cool things came together," he says when asked by PEOPLE how it feels to have the Patriots back in the Super Bowl.
Alix Earle, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Oscar-nominee Teyana Taylor, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley, Giants QB Jaxson Dart and more also hit the red carpet at Madden Bowl, which was then followed by concerts from Teddy Swims and headliner Zach Bryan.

Bryan was even joined on stage by San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, who filled in on keys to play a slew of the Grammy-winning country star's hits for the last-minute performance. Bryan performed in place of Luke Combs, who pulled out as he and his wife are expecting a baby imminently.
Stephen Wilson Jr, Gavin Adcock and the Bay Area’s own LaRussell also took the stage for electrifying performances throughout the night.
It's been a little over one month since Brady sparked romance rumors in St. Barths with Earle, who arrived to the EA Sports red carpet about 45 minutes after the NFL legend. It is unclear whether they reunited inside the party.
On New Year’s Day, Brady shared a cryptic post on his Instagram Stories that some fans interpreted as a subtle hint at his moment with Earle the night before. “People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care, and treat others,” the post read.
About one week after the duo was spotted cozying up to each other, Brady confirmed to PEOPLE that he doesn't have much time for a personal life.
"You know what? I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids," he said at the time.

No, it wouldn't, it would suck ass.I'd vote to impeach him just for that. Reason being that all the channels would just stay away from the game and keep reporting on this shit over and over and over again. And we'd get "heidi-ed"out of our super bowl.
