Applebee's Partners with the NFL to Offer an Array of Sporty Deals

— September 4, 2024 — Marketing
Applebee’s has solidified its relationship with the NFL through a multi-year agreement, establishing itself as the league’s “Official Grill + Bar.” With the NFL season opener approaching this Thursday, Applebee’s is preparing to engage football fans with a series of special deals and events.

One of the main attractions is the return of the fan-favorite 50-cent boneless wings, available for both dine-in and takeout orders for a limited time. Guests can choose from six sauce options: Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Sweet Asian Chile, Garlic Parmesan, Extra Hot Buffalo, and Honey Pepper.

Alongside the wing promotion, Applebee’s is introducing a new selection of $10 NFL Bucket Cocktails, exclusively for those dining in. These 32-ounce drinks come in two varieties and are served in buckets decorated with the logos of all 32 NFL teams.

Customers will be able to celebrate the new season with a giveaway hosted by Applebee's. This promotion will give guests the chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
