Looking for football bingo cards that are perfect for a football watching party or the Super Bowl or really any football game? These football bingo cards are a great option for helping kids learn more about the game OR for adults who want to play bingo based on game plays rather than commercials or actual objects in the game!
Football Bingo Game for Game Day
My family absolutely loves football! We’ve done parties during college play-offs, NFL play-offs, and of course Super Bowl parties. Most recently we had some friends come over for a football party and all of us football fans played this fun football bingo game!
I also have some Super Bowl Commercial bingo cards that are made specifically for the Super Bowl but these football bingo cards are great for any football game – not just the big game! Perfect for adding a little more entertainment to watching your favorite team.
Why You’ll Love This football bingo
- These cards work for any age, not just the Super Bowl!
- Good for bingo for blackout because they have over 40 different options that can be covered up!
- Small and large size options for young eyes and not so young ones!
- They’re a fun way to make the game more social because instead of just watching the game, you’re adding a playful twist to your party!
- No one has a competitive edge because it’s bingo, which is really just about luck of the draw!
Football Bingo Supplies
Football bingo is one of the easiest games because you really just need a few things.
- Printable football bingo cards (get them below)
- Football calling card (not really for tracking but for marking things off)
- Scissors (for cutting the cards)
- Markers of some sort (we used Goldfish) or you could just have people cross things off with pen or pencil if you’re just playing once
- Prizes for the winners
I’ve put together a list of great football bingo prize options below as well with ideas for all different ages of participants!
Make them reusable!
Make it even easier for your guests to play without fear of knocking off their markers by laminating the cards and giving everyone a dry erase marker to mark off their spaces as you play! Plus, then you can bring these out for every big game and play over and over again!
How to play Football Bingo
Each of the cards is filled with items in the following categories:
- Things players do – interceptions, two-point conversions, field goals, etc.
- Typical football penalties – offsides, holding, etc.
- Things you’d seen at the game – fans, mascot, cheerleaders, etc.
- Things announcers often say during games – crown noise, records, etc.
Note!
The cards do have one item that mentions the draft – if you’re using these to watch a college football game, just make this any mention of the draft, not a particular player’s draft number!
See it during the game, mark it off with a marker (we used goldfish in this football party) and the first one to get a bingo wins! Just make sure to have plenty of “markers” on hand if they’re edible because if you’re like me, you’ll eat all of your goldfish before you get a bingo.
Not sure what a bingo is? It’s five across in any direction – horizontal, vertical, or diagonal and can include the free space!
Important note!
Since these cards have all sorts of items on them that could happen during a football game, it’s very possible that some of them don’t actually happen during the game. A good majority of them should happen but sometimes there just isn’t a roughing the passer call or something a team may not miss a field goal. It’s all part of the fun!

How do you play football bingo more than once?
Unlike commercial bingo where the commercials are only shown once, everything on the cards could technically happen more than one time. If you want to play more than once, have people wipe their cards off after someone bingos and just start again. You could play throughout the game as many times as you want!
How do you play football bingo with a large group?
If you have a larger group, I recommend purchasing this set of 24 cards in my shop. And if you need even more cards than that, email me. Then just make sure that everyone can see and hear the game to play!
