How to play during the game
Hand out a card and a pen to everyone before kickoff. When something on a square happens on screen, players mark it; the first with a full line shouts bingo and shows the card. Nobody needs to know the rules of football, since half the squares are about the show around the game, and the fans in the room will happily explain a flag. Each card has a number, so an argument over a winner is settled by the card in the player's hand.
A round each quarter
One card for the whole game ends too early, so play rounds: a single line in the first quarter, four corners in the second, an X after halftime, and a blackout through the fourth quarter. Hand out fresh cards each round, or let players keep marking the same card and move to the next pattern.
Prizes, not a pool
Keep it a party game: the winner of each round picks first from the snack table, chooses the next drink, or skips cleanup. For the final, a bag of chips or a team-free football for the kids does the job. Bingo with money on it is a betting pool, and the rules for those vary by state.
For kids
Children follow the game better with a 4x4 card and the simplest squares: touchdown, field goal, fumble, coin toss, halftime show, an animal in an ad. Edit the list in the form below, choose 4x4, and print new cards. A sticker for every square they mark keeps the youngest busy until halftime.
Any year, any teams
The cards name no teams, no players and no logos, so they work for whichever teams make it, this year or next. BingoInk is not affiliated with the NFL or the Super Bowl; the name only says what the game is for.

Questions
Who calls the words in Super Bowl bingo?
Nobody. The game is the caller: players mark a square when it happens on screen. That is why the PDF has no caller sheet, only the cards.
How many squares are on each card?
24 game moments around a free space, picked from a list of 52, so no two cards are the same. A single line usually comes in the first half; a full card takes the whole game, if it comes at all.
Can I add my own squares?
Yes. Edit the list in the form below: add the names of the players you are watching, your team's mascot or a running joke at your party, and download new cards.
Is there a version just for the commercials?
Yes. Super Bowl commercial bingo has 45 squares only about the ads, for the guests who watch for those.
Is it free?
Yes. The cards and the PDF are free with no sign-up.
