How to Host the Ultimate Super Bowl Party in the UK
The Super Bowl isn’t just a game—it’s an event. Whether you’re a die-hard NFL fan or just in it for the halftime show and snacks, hosting a Super Bowl party is the best way to bring the excitement home. And while American football might not be as big as the Premier League over here, that doesn’t mean we can’t throw an epic night of touchdowns, beers, and brilliant banter.
Here’s how to host the ultimate Super Bowl party—UK style.
1. Kickoff Time: Plan for the Late Night
Unlike in the US, the Super Bowl kicks off late in the UK—usually around 11:30 PM. That means you need to plan accordingly!
Start the party early – Get people round for pre-game fun, snacks, and warm-up drinks.
Create a comfy viewing area – Blankets, sofas, chairs—people will be settling in for the long haul.
2. Game Day Beers: PerfectDraft for the Win
A Super Bowl party isn’t complete without ice-cold beer, and let’s be honest—bottles and cans don’t hit the same. If you’ve got a PerfectDraft machine, this is its time to shine.
Go American – Budweiser, Goose Island IPA, or a classic Stella for easy drinking.
Mix it up – Get a couple of kegs and keep the pours flowing all night.
Chill your glasses – Because if we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.
3. All-American Feast: Super Bowl Snacks
Forget dainty finger food—this is a night for big, bold, messy eats.
Wings – Classic buffalo, BBQ, or spicy—whatever your vibe, these are essential.
Nachos – Pile them high with cheese, jalapeños, salsa, and guac.
Burgers & Hot Dogs – Easy, classic, and guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
Pizza – If all else fails, a pizza is never a bad idea.
4. Get Your Game Setup Right
A tiny TV won’t cut it. Make sure your setup is Super Bowl worthy:
Big screen, best speakers – If you’ve got a projector, now’s the time to use it.
Check your stream – BBC iPlayer and Sky Sports usually have coverage, so make sure your WiFi can handle the crowd.
Comfy seating – Because no one wants to sit on the floor by the third quarter.
5. Halftime Show & Games
Not everyone is here for the sport—some people are all about the halftime show. Whether it’s Usher, Rihanna, or Snoop Dogg, make sure your sound system is loud enough for the full experience
.6. Keep the Party Going (or Make a Quick Exit)
The game will end around 3:30-4 AM, so plan ahead:
Taxis & Ubers – Have an idea of how people are getting home (or if they’re crashing at yours).
Spare blankets & sofas – For those who decide they’re staying until morning.
Coffee & Breakfast – Because some legends will stick it out till the end.
Ready for Kickoff?
Hosting a Super Bowl party in the UK might take a little extra planning, but get it right, and you’ll have an epic night of sport, snacks, and ice-cold beer. So, grab a keg, load up on wings, and get ready for a late one—it’s game time!!
