How to play
A standard card is 5x5, 24 squares plus a free space, make the free space something you’re guaranteed to see, an ad you’ve already watched this week works well. Mark a square the moment that category airs, no waiting for a second airing to confirm it. Play any line for the first half to keep things moving, since a full game’s worth of squares can otherwise sit unmarked for an hour before anyone wins anything, then switch to blackout across the whole broadcast for the marathon prize that closes out the night. Fewer than twelve guests? Give everyone two cards each for a livelier game, more squares in play means more excitement per commercial break. Make your own Super Bowl bingo cards sized for whichever pattern your group is playing.
40 commercial squares that come round every year
These hold up year after year because every major advertiser leans on the same handful of proven formulas, so the categories below rarely go a full season without showing up somewhere in the broadcast.
A talking animal; a celebrity cameo nobody can name; a movie trailer; a beer ad with horses; a truck on a gravel road; a snack ad set at a party; an ad that pretends to be a movie trailer; a nineties nostalgia reboot; an AI or tech product; a finance or crypto ad; a “did that just happen” ending; a food delivery ad; a phone carrier ad; a celebrity duo; a talking baby; an ad that’s basically a music video; a heartland farm montage; an insurance mascot; a pharmaceutical ad; a drone shot of a car; a public-service message; a slow-motion bite of food; a made-in-America line; a streaming service ad; an ad you only understand in the last three seconds; a celebrity playing against type; a product launch teased for weeks; a jingle stuck in your head by the fourth quarter; a CGI creature; a “family reunited” moment; a sports legend cameo; an ad that’s really a movie trailer for a sequel; a self-aware ad that mocks Super Bowl ads; a QR code on screen; a “coming this summer” tag; a celebrity chef; a car that can basically drive itself; a snack that didn’t exist last year; an ad that runs the full two minutes; and a brand mascot getting a makeover.
24 broadcast and game squares for a second card
For a household that’s more interested in the game than the ads, this second card leans entirely on broadcast moments instead, so nobody’s stuck waiting through a commercial break with nothing to mark.
A coach’s reaction shot; a challenge or replay review; a celebrity in a luxury suite; a commentator says the quarterback’s full name; a missed extra point; a turnover; the losing bench sitting in silence; an on-screen rules explainer; a booth analyst disagreement; a sideline reporter interview; a slow-motion instant replay; a crowd doing the wave; a shot of the scoreboard; a kicker warming up alone; a penalty flag thrown; a two-minute warning graphic; a coach challenging a call; a close-up of a muddy or grass-stained jersey; a blimp shot of the stadium; a player pointing to the sky; a huddle breaking with a clap; a first-down measurement; a timeout called with the clock running; and a shot of the head coach’s headset.
Keep the free space genuinely guaranteed, not just likely, an ad you’ve personally already seen this week during another broadcast is a safer bet than an ad category you’re only assuming will show up. A card with an ungettable free space isn’t really a free space at all.
Halftime show bingo
A smaller 4x4 card, 16 squares, for the halftime show alone, its own short round separate from the game clock rather than folded into a full-game blackout attempt: a costume change; a surprise guest; pyrotechnics or drones; a dance formation shot from above; an old hit from decades back; a crowd sing-along; a wardrobe malfunction near-miss; a mid-song costume reveal; a guest musician walk-on; a callback to an earlier hit; a pyro blast on the final chorus; a close-up crowd shot mid-song; a medley transition; a backup dancer formation change; the show running long into the third-quarter clock; and a stage that transforms mid-performance.
How many cards for your party
8, 12, 20 or 30 guests, whatever your headcount, the full chart for 10 to 100 players breaks down exactly how many cards and spares to print for any party size. If your guest list mixes ad-watchers and game-watchers, print a stack of each card, the 40-square commercial version and the 24-square broadcast version, and let each guest pick whichever matches their own interest for the night rather than forcing one card on everybody.
Prizes and rules
Keep it snack-based, chips, a six-pack, a gift card to a pizza place, no money on the line and no squares-for-money format. One simple rule keeps the room honest: you have to say the square out loud the moment you mark it, so nobody quietly backfills a card after the fact. A second good rule for a noisy room: the first call after a commercial break wins that square, so two guests marking the same ad at once doesn’t turn into an argument about who saw it first. Agree both rules before kickoff rather than mid-game, the same way you’d agree a pattern before any other bingo round starts.
Print in sixty seconds
Paste any of the three square lists above into the bingo card generator, pick your grid, and print. For a big party, print 2-up to fit two cards on one sheet and cut down your paper count, the same trick works whether you’re running the 40-square commercial card, the 24-square broadcast card, or the 16-square halftime card side by side. Browse printable games for every occasion if you want a completely different theme for next week’s gathering once football season wraps up.
Updated for this year
This page is checked and refreshed every January ahead of the game. As of this update, the next game is Super Bowl LXI, scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The squares above are written as categories rather than specific ads or teams, so this page and your printed cards stay accurate every season without a rewrite, there’s no rush to catch this page before the matchup or the host city is confirmed, since nothing on it depends on either.
