Sports are on an impressive run in the United States with 2026 Winter Olympics and 2026 World Cup viewership setting records. Patriotism is also running high, with fans tuning in to watch Americans compete in these events and other 250th Anniversary events. President Donald Trump hopes these trends continue.

First announced by President Trump last year, the Patriot Games will see one high school male and one high school female from each state compete in an Olympic-style competition.
While the event has been jokingly compared to the plot of "The Hunger Games," which saw each fictional territory/state send one male and one female to fight to the death, the Patriot Games will not take things quite this far.
Instead, the athletes will compete in Olympic-style challenges to crown one male and one female as victors who will share $250,000 in scholarship prizes.
