Football season in Bergen County means Friday night lights, Saturday rec games, Sunday football, tailgates and plenty of reasons to get a group together.
And if you’re feeding a team, family or house full of football fans, you need food that’s easy to order, easy to serve and actually feeds a crowd.
That’s where BBQ comes in.
Whether you’re planning a team meal after a high school game, feeding families at a rec football event, heading to a Giants or Jets tailgate, or hosting everyone at your house on Sunday, BBQ makes football party food simple.
BBQ for High School & Rec Football Teams
Feeding a football team is no small job — especially when you add coaches, parents, siblings and families to the mix.
BBQ is an easy option for high school football dinners, youth and rec sporting events, team celebrations and post-game meals because you can order based on the size of your group and let everyone build their own plate.
Choose your smoked meats, add a few crowd-favorite sides and you have a meal that can work for a small group or an entire team.

Game Day Food for Giants & Jets Watch Parties
Not heading to the stadium? Bring game day home.
A great football watch party doesn’t need an elaborate menu. Put out BBQ, sides, sandwiches and a few snacks and let everyone grab a plate whenever they’re hungry.
BBQ works especially well for Giants and Jets watch parties because you can order ahead, set everything out before kickoff and actually watch the game instead of spending Sunday cooking.
Hosting friends and family? Order enough for the group, add your drinks and snacks, and game day is handled.
BBQ for Tailgates
Good tailgate food needs to travel well, feed a crowd and be easy to serve.
Smoked meats and classic BBQ sides make an easy centerpiece for your tailgate spread — whether you’re heading to a Giants or Jets game, a local high school game or another sporting event.
Ordering your tailgate food ahead of time also means one less thing to prep before you head out.
Pick it up, pack the car and get to the game.
Football Party Food for Backyard & Family Gatherings
Sometimes the best football Sundays happen at home.
If you’re inviting over extended family, neighbors or a group of friends, BBQ lets you feed everyone without turning your kitchen into a full-day operation.
It’s also easy to mix into the rest of your football party food. Serve BBQ as the main meal alongside dips, chips and appetizers, or build a buffet where everyone can make their own plate or sandwich.
It works for everything from a few families watching Sunday football to a big playoff or championship party.
How Much BBQ Do You Need for a Football Party?
One of the hardest parts of feeding a group is figuring out how much food to order.
The right amount depends on your headcount, whether you’re feeding kids or adults, how many meats and sides you’re serving and whether BBQ is the main meal or part of a larger spread.
That’s especially important when you’re feeding a football team or larger sporting event where the difference between feeding 20, 50 or 100 people can change your order quite a bit.
Instead of guessing, start with your approximate headcount and build your order from there.
Football Catering Without the Formal Catering
You don’t need a wedding-sized event or formal catering setup to get great food for a crowd.
Sometimes you just need really good BBQ and enough of it for everyone.
That’s why BBQ works for so many football occasions:
- High school football teams and team dinners
- Youth and rec football events
- Post-game celebrations
- Giants and Jets watch parties
- MetLife Stadium tailgates
- College football Saturdays
- Sunday football parties
- Backyard gatherings
- Playoff parties
- Large family get-togethers
Whether you’re feeding 10 people at home or a much larger group, ordering ahead makes game day easier.
