It’s time to trade the beach chair for a barstool and find a spot to cheer on your favorite team. Whether you’re all about college football Saturdays or live for NFL Sundays, Ocean City has plenty of places to catch the action.

College Football Saturdays

College football fans have some great options around town.

Fin City Brewing Co. hosts college football watch parties, making it a fun spot to grab a local brew, settle in and cheer with fellow fans.

Over at Harpoon Hanna’s, college football fans can catch all the major packages, including the SEC, Big Ten and ACC. And when Sunday rolls around, the football continues with NFL Sunday Ticket, plus football specials for NFL games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday. With 25 TVs, there’s a good chance your game will be somewhere on the screen!

NFL Sundays

Pickles Pub is another football destination worth adding to your game-day lineup. With more than 50 TVs and NFL Sunday Ticket, you can keep up with games across the league while enjoying football specials, pool tables, a full bar and a sit-down restaurant.

And while you’re there, don’t leave without ordering one of their famous pickle shots. Because apparently, football tastes better with a little pickle juice!

At Beach Barrels, NFL Ticket brings the games to the big screens, and there’s an especially convenient food option next door. The bar connects directly to Primo Hoagies, so you can order a delicious sub without missing the action. My recommendation? Go for the Italian Cold Cut.

Looking for Your Team’s Crowd?

Sometimes watching the game is just better when you're surrounded by people who understand your pain, excitement and questionable fourth-quarter decisions.

  • Baltimore Ravens: Head to Pit N Pub, a top Ravens bar in Ocean City.

  • Pittsburgh Steelers: Steelers Nation can flock to Salty Dog Saloon.

  • Philadelphia Eagles: Crawl Street Tavern is where Eagles fans land.

  • Washington Commanders: Commanders fans can head to Mother’s Cantina or Cork Bar.

Whether you’re wearing purple, black and gold, midnight green, burgundy or the colors of your alma mater, Ocean City has a football spot for you.

So grab your jersey, rally your crew and get ready for some Saturday and Sunday football. And remember: in Ocean City, there’s always another game—and probably another pickle shot—to catch. For more information about everything in Ocean City, visit our website, oceancity.com.
