7 Best Places to Watch the Super Bowl in Walt Disney World

The big day is almost here!  It’s the most-watched TV event of the year and you can’t wait to see it. Whether or not your team is in it this year, if you’re a huge football fan, you are probably wondering where the best place to watch the Super Bowl in Walt Disney World is…

This year the big game is Super Bowl LXI, taking place on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Kickoff is expected at approximately 6:30 pm EST, with coverage on ESPN and ABC. We don’t know which teams will be playing yet, but it’s sure to be an exciting game you won’t want to miss!

Since the game falls on Valentine’s Day, restaurants and lounges may be even busier than they are on a typical Super Bowl Sunday. If watching the game with sound is important to you, confirm the venue’s plans before making a reservation.

Fans who are in Walt Disney World will be frantically searching for the best place to see the big game in Disney World in 2027, and we have the answers.

Just because you aren’t at home in front of your big screen with your friends doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the big game just as much!  So to help you rest easy I’ve made a list of the 7 Best Places to Watch the Super Bowl in Walt Disney World, plus some other useful tips.

They are all great options, it just depends on which one is better for you and your family/friends!

Let’s have a look:

7. Atlantic Dance Hall – Disney’s Boardwalk

You might not immediately think of The Atlantic Dance Hall when thinking about football.  But because of other places being full on the Boardwalk (more on that later), the Atlantic Dance Hall usually always have a Super Bowl party with the game showing on big screens. 

Recently new additions were made to the Atlantic Dance Hall and they are now showing games here all football season on NFL Sundays. This is for the overflow of a more popular Boardwalk restaurant (more on that in a minute).

The only problem is there’s no food, only drinks, hence the #7 position on my board.  If that’s ok with you and you don’t mind bringing your food with you to watch the Super Bowl, then this is a great option, especially for those staying in the EPCOT Resort area.

6. End Zone Food Court

We thought about putting this one at #7, but just for the simple fact there are a lot of food options to choose from, we placed it here. Located in the All-Star Sports Resort, the End Zone Food Court is another place you can see the Super Bowl in Walt Disney World.

It won’t be the quietest crowd in the world, and if you’ve been there before you can understand what I mean. That said, it could be a good option if you have a big group and can’t get a reservation at any of the other places on our list. Since this is a food court rather than a dedicated sports bar, confirm the 2027 television and sound setup before relying on it for the game.

5. Rix Sports Bar & Grill – Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

We’ve replaced ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill on this year’s list because its availability can depend on events at the complex, and it isn’t as convenient or reliable for most guests. In its place, Rix Sports Bar & Grill is a much better dedicated sports-bar option for the Super Bowl.

Located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Rix has plenty of televisions, a lively game-day atmosphere, and a full menu of food and drinks. It’s a great choice if you want a true sports-bar experience without dealing with the biggest Disney Springs crowds.

If Rix is full, nearby Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Villa del Lago is another option to check. It has an open-air setting and multiple TVs, though it’s more dependent on the weather.

4. Your Resort Lounge/Pool Bar

This one isn’t the most inventive of places to watch the Super Bowl on the list, but one of the easiest to organize and is a nice last-minute option.  Just about every resort lounge bar on Walt Disney World property will have the game running and it’s already close to your room (a good option if your team loses and then want to go back to your room and wallow).

It’s usually a great atmosphere and you can make some new friends or enemies quite easily, so be careful about that!  A lot of times the resorts will put on a nice spread also so you might find some amazing game day eats set up! Even so, not every location has a television with a clear view or plays the game with sound, so confirm the setup before settling in.

A few of the best places to watch the games are Geyser Point Bar & Grill at the Wilderness Lodge, Martha’s Vineyard in the Beach Club Resort, and Crew’s Cup Lounge at the Yacht Club Resort. All three have great viewing areas for the game and are worth considering even if you AREN’T staying at one of those resorts.

Going along with the resort bar is the resort pool bar, which in my opinion is an even better option!  Not every resort pool bar has a TV so you’ll have to ask if yours does, but if so it can be a really great experience! Pool-bar hours and availability can also vary with weather, so check the schedule that day.

Basically the same as the lounge bar, the atmosphere here will be great, plus if your kids or significant other aren’t interested in watching the Super Bowl, they can swim or play while you watch it.  Just get there early if you can, as seats tend to fill up quickly.

3. Your Room

The older I get, the more this option for watching the Super Bowl appeals to me!  You won’t have any problems hearing the game or those hilarious commercials in the most comfortable seat in Walt Disney World, your room.

You can stay there and watch the game with the whole family and make it a really fun event. You can even watch it alone if you prefer solitude during the Super Bowl. 

Sometimes I can’t stand being around other people when I’m watching football, especially if they are rooting against my team, so this is perfect.  You can sit back and order a pizza, pick up takeout, use mobile ordering, or stock up on groceries and snacks. Then you can feel free to yell and scream at the TV without others giving you dirty looks or, worse, making the person next to you rooting for the other team angry.

Of course, if you are looking for a more lively, fun atmosphere then look elsewhere, but for those lone wolves, it doesn’t get any better than this!

2. Splitsville – Disney Springs

A bowling alley probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of the best place to watch the Super Bowl in Disney World, but Splitsville isn’t your ordinary bowling alley either. 

You have a couple of options:

1. You might be able to get in a game or two as you’re waiting for the Super Bowl.  There is nothing like launching a 10-pound ball and trying to smash some pins to help get those pre-super bowl jitters out of your system.
2. The food is really awesome, another thing you don’t expect at a bowling alley.  Everything they have is great…Wings, Burgers, Tacos, Pulled Pork, you name it!  But the calling card here is the amazing Sushi, believe it or not maybe the best on property!

The only problem is because of how popular Splitsville is, the ADRs for Super Bowl Sunday fill up quick!  You have 2 options: you can keep checking My Disney Experience and the Disney World Website for cancellations, or they will be taking walk-ups too, just get there early so you don’t miss out.

Most years Splitsville runs special Super Bowl-themed events, and it’s still one of the best viewing spots on property. Wings and other game-day foods are usually available, though the exact 2027 specials have not been announced yet.

Check the Splitsville website for this year’s event details and specials.

1. City Works Eatery & Pour House – Disney Springs

City Works Eatery & Pour House earns the #1 spot on our list of the best places to watch the Super Bowl in Disney World. City Works is really THAT good.

We love the atmosphere here. Just one step inside and you’ll know why. The dining room is huge with many tables and a lot of booths too which will keep you comfortable throughout the game. There is an outdoor section if you prefer. In all there is 8,600 sq ft of dining space, so no problems there.

We especially love the 17 flat-screen TVs throughout the restaurant, including the giant ones on the wall behind the bar.

The food is awesome here too. We’ve had almost the whole menu and some of our favorites include the duck nachos, filet mignon sliders, smoked bbq ribs and the kung pao cauliflower. You absolutely MUST try the peanut butter snickers pie, it’s one of our favorite desserts at Disney World.

Do I even have to mention the huge selection of craft beers on tap? That should give you enough variety for the length of the game.

City Works often hosts a Super Bowl party or special event, but the exact 2027 details have not been announced yet. We recommend making a reservation if one is offered and arriving well before kickoff to get settled.

Tips for Watching the Super Bowl at Disney World

• Reserve early and arrive early. The most popular restaurants and sports bars can fill up quickly, and some may host ticketed or private events that limit walk-in availability.
• Verify the game-day setup. Confirm that the venue will show the game with sound and check its hours, cover charge, age rules, and reservation policy.
• Plan your transportation. Resort parking and vehicle access can be restricted, especially during busy periods. Don’t assume you can park at a Disney hotel without a resort stay, dining reservation, or other qualifying reservation.
• Don’t count on watching inside a theme park. The parks are not reliable places to find televisions showing the game. If guaranteed seating and sound matter most, your resort room is the easiest backup plan.
• Check again close to February 14. Super Bowl specials, viewing parties, and exact operating details are usually announced much closer to game day.

Other Disney World Super Bowl Experiences

Besides watching the actual game, there are other Super Bowl-related events and experiences around Walt Disney World that any fan can enjoy:

• Football-shaped Snacks – Stop by one of the many bakeries or confectionaries in the resorts or theme parks and enjoy a delightful football-shaped treat!
• Watch the Parade – Just like the famous expression players from the winning team make: “I’m going to Disney World!” any fans in Disney World the following day can visit the Magic Kingdom and watch the Super Bowl parade.
  Usually, some of the players from the winning team team up with Disney characters to participate in this celebration. The exact 2027 details and participating players will be announced after the game, so check Disney’s schedule before heading over.

(Closed Locations) ESPN Club – Disney’s Boardwalk

(The ESPN Club is permanently closed. It has been replaced by the Cake Bake Shop Bakery and Restaurant.)

This used to be the Super Bowl-watching Mecca of Walt Disney World, and we watched dozens of games here over the years. We especially loved the atmosphere, the huge number of TVs, and what I thought were some of the best wings in Walt Disney World.

If you miss the ESPN Club experience, City Works and Rix Sports Bar & Grill are now two of the best current alternatives.
