Editor’s Note Jan. 28th, 2025: Our Super Bowl bingo cards have been updated for 2025! Bookmark us to get updated cards every year.
Super Bowl LIX (59, for those like me who struggle with Roman numerals) is coming up on February 9th, 2025. Whether you’re having a big party this year or keeping it small at home with your immediate family, there are plenty of ways to have fun! A great way to do that is with my wonderfully popular Super Bowl commercial bingo cards!
Super Bowl bingo is a fun game for the whole family (and everyone at your party) to make things more interesting and get everyone to have fun together. Both the adults and kids at our Super Bowl party get really into it every single year. The best thing about Super Bowl Commercial Bingo is that you don’t have to like football OR commercials to enjoy it. You just have to like games!
Since commercials tend to roll out slower than real bingo calls, it’s easier for everyone to keep up. The non-football fans will have a fun reason to watch the game. And if you announce that there’s an awesome prize for the winner, you’d better BELIEVE people will be paying attention to those commercials!
Super Bowl Bingo Cards for 2025
In the free download are 8 unique bingo cards with over 45 brands and movie trailers randomized between them, helping to prevent more than one person from winning BINGO at the same time. This set normally costs money at my shop, but I’m giving it to my readers for FREE! If you need more than 8 cards, I have more available right here! You can get up to 40 unique bingo cards for everyone you know to play together.
Disclaimer: Every brand on these bingo cards should show up in Super Bowl 59, because they have all confirmed their buy-ins to news outlets. But I cannot promise that all or enough of these companies will show commercials during the Super Bowl to guarantee that everyone will eventually get a BINGO. Sometimes confirmed advertisers are “regional” buys, meaning they don’t play for the whole country.
However, care has been taken to ensure that someone will definitely win! Just enter your info below to get the download link sent straight to your email.

Best Way to Print Your Bingo Cards at Home
While you could order prints from a professional service, I don’t recommend it in this situation. I mean, these are bingo cards for a football game. They’re just going to get stained with Mountain Dew and queso dip. Plus, these cards are specific for Super Bowl 2025, so the brands included likely mean they’re not usable next year.
You can print at home on nicer paper, so the bingo cards are easy to produce but of decent quality. Cardstock like this is very affordable and gives the bingo cards a bit of sturdiness compared to regular copy paper. Alternatively – and my preferred method – is to print it on some letter-sized glossy photo paper to really make the colors pop.
If you want to print at home but still need your bingo cards to stand up to abuse, like a two-year-old trying to use it as a tissue, you can always use a laminator. This method also allows you to use fun football stickers for marking off spaces while making them easy to peel off when checking your winner’s spaces for accuracy!
Details of Game Play
Designate Someone to Track Every Commercial
The most important thing to keep in mind is that SOMEONE has to be in charge of watching every Super Bowl commercial throughout the entire game to make sure you have a running list of brands to compare to Bingo shouters’ cards. If no one is keeping tabs on commercials the whole time, there’s going to be a LOT of arguing by the end. (Backtracking can make the final decision, but who wants to spend the time on that?)
Mere Mentions Don’t Count
The brand in question must have actually aired a commercial to be marked off. A commentator simply saying the brand name does not count. However, both commercials aired just before (during the pregame) and just after the game DO count (because these are primo ad spots for companies).
Let Players Pick Their Cards
People naturally go for cards that include more brands they’re personally familiar with. That’s not cheating! It’ll just help them mark their spaces more easily and reduce confusion and missed marks, making things more fun for everyone.
The Middle Space is Free
Go ahead and mark off that football as soon as the game starts!
Make Checking the Winner Easy
You can use anything available to mark off the squares, really. I don’t recommend stickers unless you’ve laminated the cards, or it’ll be difficult to remove them to check the squares against the running list of brands that have appeared. Don’t use anything too light or bouncy, like scraps of loose paper or M&Ms, because they may move in the chaos of Super Bowl excitement.
Coins are good, or plastic chips like these. If you’ve printed on cardstock, go for these snazzy bingo markers you can use every year!
Suggested Winning Patterns
While there are a lot of fancy ways to play bingo these days, I recommend sticking to the old-school wins for the sake of simplicity. Straight vertical or horizontal lines, or a diagonal either way across the middle, totaling 5 marked spaces can win. (Show everyone playing the image below so they know exactly how they can win!) When someone shouts BINGO, make sure you verify that the spots they marked off have actually aired a commercial already. No cheating!
Prize Ideas for Your Bingo Winner(s)
You can have as many winners as you like, but only one is required. What I’d do, personally, is have one awesome Grand Prize for the first person that correctly shouts out BINGO. Then, to keep everyone else invested in the game a while longer, I’d have one or two smaller prizes for the runners-up. Since I don’t like to send anyone home empty-handed, I’d probably also have as many full-size candy bars or fun knick-knacks from the dollar store as I do guests!
If you’re getting everything together and it’s just a couple of days until the Super Bowl, no worries! I highly recommend using Prime to have some goodies shipped ASAP. Here are some ideas of what to use as your Grand Prize:

This is such a fun idea to keep everyone occupied even during the ads which we usually dread!
What a great way of looking at it! I love Super Bowl commercials, but this is a great time-passer for those who don’t!
How fun! We love watching the commercials so this will make it more fun! Awesome idea thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nicole!
What a fun idea! I used to LOVE football but don’t really find time to watch any kind of TV now that I’m older. I would say the SuperBowl always meant super yummy food and commercials for me too. What a great way to add a little extra fun and this is great for kids to do during the game as well!
I would say even on Super Bowl Sunday we don’t find the time to watch football. It’s on in the background while we’re playing with our kids now! But I love the challenge of trying to keep up with my bingo squares at the same time 😀
This sounds way more fun than watching the actual game!
TOTALLY agree!
What a fun activity for the Super Bowl! My kids always want to be “into it” but then they get a little bored, so this is perfect!
My kids are sooo not even close to being into it yet. I’m hoping to make this a family tradition!
We’ve done Super Bowl Commercial Bingo for years. There’s always so much laughter and friendly competition during the commercials. It’s a great tradition. I love that these Bingo cards are printable and that they are FREE. They are really cute and visually striking! Thank you so much for designing these cards for the 2020 Super Bowl.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Gloria! I hope your Super Bowl get-together is a blast!!
Our family loved your Super Bowl commercial bingo game! Even though we may have missed the first few minutes because we were eating dinner, even our grands loved keeping track of our cards. Thank you!
I’m so glad you had a great time, Sara!!
Thanks so much for making these! It was awesome and added a whole new level of conversation for the night!
You’re so welcome. I’m glad you had a good time! My husband won again this year. Agh!
The Outreach committee at my church is putting on a Super Bowl Party, streaming the game in our Celebration Center. It is for anyone who may not have a place to go and watch the game with friends and/or family. Actually, anyone is welcome. We want it to be a fun family atmosphere
