50+ Recipes For Football Game Foods

If you need a little help with game day party ideas, we have a great post filled with Tips For Throwing A Football Party.

There are ideas for seating, how to serve food, DIY football decor, and more.

Football Shaped Brownie

Make a brownie in a circle pan, then use a little bit of creative cutting to turn it into a football (don’t worry, we walk you through it in the post).

Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods

If you want a dessert that’s going to look adorable with your football spread, these chocolate football pretzel rods are the way to go. They’re easy to make once you get the hang of them.

Fantasy Football Candy Bark

You can mix and match the colors of this candy bark to match your team colors — or the teams that are in the big game.

Kickoff Cosmo

If you’re 21+, you can kick off game day by making a large batch of this kickoff cosmopolitan recipe for your guests (who are also 21+).

Spanakopita Dip

For a unique dip, serve our spanakopita dip. It’s the filling of spanakopita — spinach, feta and parmesan cheese, and a few other ingredients — but in dip rather than phyllo dough.

Jalapeño Artichoke Dip

This jalapeño artichoke dip is a copycat of one I buy at ALDI anytime I see it in stock. It has a nice kick from the jalapeño, which makes it feel like game day to us.

Easy Cheesy Refried Bean Dip

Bean dip is so incredibly popular for game day, so definitely add this easy cheesy refried bean dip to your menu.

Guacamole

Guacamole is necessary on every game day spread. And this chunky guacamole will be the hit of your food. Just be sure to grab tortilla chips to pair with it.

Taco Dip

My friend’s friend used to bring Taco Dip to every game day party, so of course, it screams game day to me. I made my own version, which is such a crowd pleaser.

Super Spicy Salsa

I’m not lying when I say this salsa is super spicy. People who like spice said it was hot. And that doesn’t happen often. But spice and game day go hand in hand.

Homemade Salsa

If you want a more mild salsa, this one is the one for you.

Cannoli Dip

You only need a couple minutes to make this cannoli dip. Pair it with crushed ice cream cones for a delicious game day dessert.

Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This is the easiest spinach and artichoke dip you’ll ever make. You microwave a few ingredients, stir, and it’s good to go. It’s perfect if you don’t have too much time between when you get home from church on Sunday and when the game is starting.

Spanakopita Puff Pastry Bites

These Spanakopita Puff Pastry Bites are a fun game day finger food. They have all the flavors of a traditional spanakopita baked into puff pastry.

Air Fryer Wonton Mozzarella Sticks

Homemade mozzarella sticks are an easy finger food that takes two bites to inhale. These mozzarella sticks are made in the air fryer, so it saves the oven for other game day snacks.

Crab Rangoon

Who says you can only have crab rangoon with Chinese take out? You can absolutely have these packets of deliciousness on game day too.

Pigs In A Blanket

Pigs in a blanket are my favorite party appetizer. They come together so easy (they’re only two ingredients!) and really please a crowd.

Wonton Pizza Cups

You might not want to sit and eat a full piece of pizza while you’re watching the game, but these wonton pizza cups are perfect to pop in your mouth.

Avocado Toast Bruschetta

Avocado toast is really popular, but you’re not going to serve it on game day. But, it totally works for game day as a bruschetta. We made this avocado toast bruschetta for a game day party and it was the first dish that was gone.

Loaded Poutine Twice Baked Potatoes

These poutine-stuffed potatoes are the perfect bite of potato. There’s cheese, bacon, sour cream, green onions, and brown gravy all stuffed into a potato bite. Your game day guests will love them.

Wonton Taco Cups

These wonton taco cups are the perfect one bite appetizer. They have all the flavors of tacos (ground beef, beans, sour cream, green onions, and cheese), but are a lot easier to serve on game day than actual tacos.

Deviled Eggs With Tajin

Tajin is the secret ingredient in these deviled eggs. They’re made a little differently than traditional deviled eggs too, so they’re a little less tart and a little more tasty. And no potlucks, even game day ones, are complete without deviled eggs.

Bacon-Wrapped Cocktail Wieners

Nothing says sports more than meat-wrapped meat. So definitely make these cocktail wieners — which are wrapped in bacon and finished with a sprinkle of brown sugar.

Fully Loaded Totchos

Nachos are cool, but have you tried totchos? Instead of chips, you use tater tots, and then top those with all your favorite nacho toppings. Our game day guests loved when we served these and yours will too.

Sweet And Spicy Jelly Meatballs

These jelly meatballs are made from frozen meatballs and three other ingredients. They’re super easy and delicious. Plus, you can pop them in your mouth between plays.

Pizza Cones

Pizza cones are what dreams are made of. You can make two per tortilla, then fill them with your favorite toppings: cheese, pepperoni, and sauce. Roll and bake and you’re ready to go. We made these for one of our football parties and people loved them.

Roast Beef And Cheddar Hawaiian Roll Sliders

A large burger isn’t really game day friendly, but a slider is absolutely perfect. And these roast beef and cheddar Hawaiian roll sliders are one of our most popular slider sandwiches.

Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are the perfect game day appetizer because you can pop them in your mouth and be done with them before it’s time to yell at your team for dropping the ball.

Guacamole Wonton Cups

Guacamole becomes a game day friendly appetizer when you serve it as guacamole wonton cups. Game watchers can just grab it and pop it in their mouths rather than hovering over a bowl of guac.

Slow Cooker BBQ Sausage Bites

If you can make any game day recipes in the slow cooker, I highly suggest that. So, make these BBQ Sausage Bites in the slow cooker and make some other game day bites in the oven.

Corn Dog Muffins

Corn dogs are delicious, but no one wants to eat a whole one on game day. So, these corn dog muffins are the perfect compromise.

Jalapeño Popper Wonton Cups

These wonton cups have all the flavors of a jalapeño popper, but contained in a wonton wrapper. They’re delicious and a little easier to eat when you’re watching the big game.

Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring

A few cans of crescent rolls are stuffed with buffalo chicken and formed into a ring to make this tasty game day recipe. Serve it with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.

Loaded Beef Nachos

Game day isn’t complete without nachos. These loaded beef nachos are a really classic nacho recipe that sure to please everyone.

Pulled Chicken Nachos

If you have leftover pulled chicken, these nachos come together in no time. If not, a rotisserie chicken works to keep this simple. And really, if you’re making a large game day spread, simple really helps.

Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

These pizza rolls are so easy to make before game day, then just air fry them right before halftime begins.

Cornbread Sausage Balls

Three ingredients combine to make these cornbread sausage balls. They’re easy to pop into your mouth while you’re watching the game.

Buffalo Chicken Pork Rind Nachos

These Buffalo Chicken Pork Rind Nachos are a fun twist on traditional nachos. Instead of using tortilla chips, these use pork rinds as the base.

Turkey Club Hawaiian Roll Sliders

Our most popular sandwich is this Turkey Club Hawaiian Roll Sliders recipe. It’s incredible easy to make one sandwich, then cut it into 12, which is great if you have a lot of people coming to your game day party. If you don’t love turkey, you can swap it for ham.

One Pot Turkey Chili

Ground turkey and beans combine to make a really good turkey chili. Since it only takes one pot, that means only one burner on your stovetop leaving the other three empty for more game day recipes.

Chicken Chili

This chili, made with chicken, beans, peppers, and more is a really good bowl of chili for when you’re rooting on the home team.

Slow Cooker Beer Pulled Pork

Pulled pork comes out so good in the slow cooker. It’s easy too. You just dump the three ingredients in the slow cooker, turn it on, and it’ll be ready by kickoff.

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Wings

Homemade teriyaki sauce is so easy to make. And it tastes so good on wings. Plus, wings are a must for game day. So really, this recipe is a home run.
