Super Bowl LX is set for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California-the home of the San Francisco 49ers. Broadcast live on NBC (with streaming on Peacock), the game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET and features the AFC and NFC champions battling for the Lombardi Trophy. With the NFL playoffs heating up (Divisional Round this weekend!), now’s the perfect time to set up a Super Bowl squares pool to keep everyone engaged from kickoff to the final whistle.
What are Super Bowl Squares?
Super Bowl squares (also called football squares or Super Bowl boxes) is one of the easiest and most popular office pools or party games. No football knowledge required-just luck and a 10×10 grid. Participants buy squares, random numbers are assigned to the rows/columns (representing the last digit of each team’s score), and winners are paid out at the end of each quarter and the game.
Whether you’re hosting a watch party, running an office pool, or joining friends virtually, our free printable Super Bowl squares template makes setup a breeze.
How Super Bowl Squares Works
- The Grid: A 10×10 grid creates 100 squares. One axis (top) is for one team’s score last digit (0-9), the other (side) for the opposing team.
- Assign Squares: Sell or assign squares randomly to players (e.g., $5–$20 per square, depending on group size). Fill names in the boxes.
- Random Numbers: After all squares are claimed, randomly draw/assign numbers 0-9 to the top and side rows. (Use a random.org generator or write numbers on slips.)
- Winning Squares: At the end of each quarter (and final score), look at the last digit of each team’s score. The player whose square intersects those digits wins that quarter’s pot.
- Example: If at halftime the score is Chiefs 17 – Eagles 10, the square at 7 (Chiefs) and 0 (Eagles) wins.
- Payouts: Common splits: 25% per quarter winner, 50% for final score (or adjust for your group-e.g., extra for final or biggest margin).
Popular Variations
- 25-Square Grid (5×5): Smaller group? Use this for fewer players.
- Changing Numbers: Some groups re-randomize numbers at halftime for extra fairness/excitement.
- Playoff Version: Run squares for Divisional games, Conference Championships, or any matchup-perfect while waiting for Super Bowl LX.
- Prizes: Cash pots, gift cards, bragging rights, or fun trophies.
Tips for a Great Super Bowl Squares Pool
- Fill the board early to build hype during the playoffs.
- Keep it fair: Randomize numbers after squares are sold.
- Share digitally: Email the PDF or use Google Sheets for remote friends.
- Set clear rules upfront (payouts, what happens in overtime-most treat OT as final score).
- Tie into the action: With teams like the Seahawks, Broncos, Bills, and Bears still alive, predict early favorites for your pool.
