Football Party Games for Adults: 7 Fun Ideas

Food and drink are essential for an awesome football watch party, but games should also be on your party itinerary to kick off a night full of fun! Need some ideas? In this blog we cover some fan-favorite football party games for adults to help take your party to the next level and please every guest on your list.

Football Bingo

Football Bingo is the perfect “play while you watch” activity. Use free printable options like these ones, or make your own!

Incentivize participation by having some sweet prizes for people to win. The BrüMate Hopsulator Slim is something everyone will love, made to keep 12oz slim cans cool from the first sip to the last. The best part? With many colors to choose from you can coordinate the can coolers with your guest’s favorite team.

Big Day Guessing Game

Need an icebreaker to start the day? Place bets by playing a guessing game. Make sure everyone gets a sheet and fills it out before the game starts. Guess everything down to the coin toss winner and final score. Whoever gets the most right wins!

Treat the winner with a BrüMate Hopsulator Trio! This versatile can cooler holds a standard 12oz can, or a 16oz craft beer can and it can be used for cocktails too! That’s right, this 3-in-1 tumbler comes with a 100% leakproof locking lid, designed to turn into an insulated pint tumbler when you’re ready to take a break from the cans.

Chili Cook Off

Have your guests help with food prep by making it an activity! Choose an entree that everyone loves (like chili) and have guests bring their favorite rendition of it. Do a chili taste test and vote for your favorite. Not looking for an entree? See who can make the best grazing board or chip dip!

Lineman

The lineman is a competitive (and edible!) football party game! All you need is a football table cloth and some Oreos, or a cookie of your choice. Get your cookie on each line before your opponent and you win! You and your guests can look forward to enjoying the cookies after your match.

Judge the Commercials

Let’s be real, most of us are in it for the commercials, right?! Make the commercial breaks even more fun by creating a judging competition. Use cardstock and popsicle sticks to make them read 1-10. Judge each commercial with your sticks and keep track of your favorites!

Use the BrüMate feature-packed BrüTank to serve up cool beverages as you and your pals enjoy the commercial breaks. The BrüTank features a self-tapping removable drink tank, a built-in tap, a bottle opener, and so much more. With a 2.8 gallon capacity and dry rack,  you can pack it full with treats that stay cold (and dry) and drinks for everyone to enjoy! Check out how our team filled the BrüTank with football party essentials!

Ring Toss-For Adults

This Adult Ring Toss is the perfect distraction for guests who need a break from the game. Work to get your ring on the hook before your opponent, or take a shot!

Elevate the game and your shots by shaking them using the 100% leakproof BrüMate Cocktail Shaker! This insulated cocktail shaker will keep your drink of choice the perfect temp with zero spills, and it has body markings to help you measure your portions accurately. Simply add your ingredients to the pint tumbler, shake it up, and pour into the shot glasses for maximum fun.

Chicken in a Hen House

“Chicken in a Hen House” is best with a group and is sure to make everyone laugh. Have your guests grab a partner and spend a time-out calling out silly actions like “Firefighter”. Whichever group is last to complete the action is out and the game continues.

Other Football Party Must-Haves

Games are a huge part of any football party, but the vibe isn’t complete without the right gear, setup, and refreshments to keep the energy high. Whether you're hosting in your living room, garage, or backyard, a few smart additions can take your gathering from average to epic. Here are some essentials to have on hand for a football party your guests will talk about all season long:

• BrüTank 55qt cooler: A party powerhouse, the BrüTank is a 55-quart rolling cooler with a 2.8-gallon drink tank with a built-in tap, making it easy to serve draft-style drinks anywhere you watch the game. Holds up to 59 12 oz cans!

• Plenty of seating: Whether it's fold-out chairs, bean bags, or a few floor cushions, make sure there's a comfy seat for every guest.

• Snack station: Keep finger foods like chips, wings, buffalo dip and sliders stocked throughout the game… Ideally in a spot away from the main viewing area to avoid traffic jams.

• Trash & recycling bins: Make cleanup easier and keep your space tidy by placing visible bins around the party area.

• Hopsulator Trio can cooler: No one wants warm beer by halftime. This triple-insulated can cooler has 3-in-1 technology so that it can keep your 16 oz drinks ice-cold from kickoff to overtime, and it includes a freezable adapter for 12oz cans + includes our BevLock™ lid to convert it into a 100% leakproof tumbler. Perfect for whatever your drink-of-choice may be.
