Rebilas-Imagn Images Commissioners from the four major U.S. sports leagues will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House next week to discuss America's 250th birthday plans, The Athletic reported Wednesday.
The NFL's Roger Goodell, MLB's Rob Manfred, NBA's Adam Silver and NHL's Gary Bettman are on the guest list for the Oval Office meeting, per the report.
The exact date has not been confirmed, and the White House and the four leagues did not respond to The Athletic's requests for comment.
Trump announced last month that the White House will host the "Patriot Games," a four-day athletic event featuring high school athletes from across America. He also announced that a UFC fight will take place on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14.
