10 Super Bowl watch parties in South Florida that are not to be missed (plus a Bad Bunny brunch!)

South Florida may not have any skin in the 2026 Super Bowl (maybe next year, Miami Dolphins?), but you can bet we’ll be watching the action unfold when the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday night.

After all, we do have one connection to the big game: Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will bring some Latin flair to the halftime show as headline performer. Fresh off last Sunday’s Grammy Award win for Album of the Year, Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is no stranger to Miami, where he co-owns Gekkō, a Japanese-inspired steakhouse in Brickell.

Of course, we’re also looking forward to the commercials. Expect to see the return of a Budweiser Clydesdale, a revival of the Pepsi Challenge, Xfinity’s happy ending to “Jurassic Park,” and Ben Affleck again touting Dunkin’, this time along with Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc and Jason Alexander.

No matter your reason for watching, you’ll need a fun spot to do it — with plenty of food, drinks and big-screen TVs.

If you’re planning to trade touchdown high-fives and missed field goal groans at a bar or restaurant with fellow football fans, now’s the time to prepare your kickoff plans.

Below, you’ll find 10 places in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are going the extra yard with their Super Bowl LX watch parties. (We’ve also thrown in two bonus events just for fans of Bad Bunny and puppies!)
