Festive Fridays: Football Season Kickoff Party

With preseason games already underway and the regular football season just around the corner, it’s time to start planning to gather your friends and get ready to cheer on your favorite team! Here are a few fun ideas to inspire as you get ready for the season to kick off!

Bring-a-dip Potluck – Watching football and fun snack foods go hand in hand. Inviting a few friends over for a potluck dip party is a perfect way to kick off the season. Pick up a variety of chips, bread, and crackers and dig in to everyone’s favorite munchies!

Backyard Bash – Fire up the grill and enjoy the last warm weekends of the year, while celebrating your favorite team. Hot dogs, burgers, ribs, and chicken are perfect football foods. If you have access to a projector that allows you to stream from a TV and an outdoor screen, you can keep the party going outdoors, well into the evening!

Team Theme – Rock your team colors and invite over friends who share your team love. Come up with creative menus based on the local specialties of the team’s home city. Make fun banners and decorations to show your team pride.

Fantasy Football Fun – Gather friends from your local fantasy league and watch your favorite players rack up the points! There’s nothing like a little friendly competition to make watching football together even more fun.
