Let’s have a look:

7. Atlantic Dance Hall – Disney’s Boardwalk

Best Places to Watch Super Bowl in Walt Disney World Atlantic Dance Hall

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

Entrance to All-Star Sports End Zone Food Court is a great place to watch the Super Bowl in Disney World

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.

5. ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill – ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

ESPN Wide World of Sports Parking

If you’ve ever been over to the Wide World of Sports Complex for an Atlanta Braves spring training game then you might be already familiar with the Wide World of Sports Grill.  There are tons of screens to watch the game and you’ll find a great sports fan environment. 

You’ll find a great selection of Sandwiches and Burgers like the BLT, Smoked Turkey, Booya Burger, and the Barbecue Pulled Pork.  Other great selections include Winner’s Wings, Home Run Hot Dog, and the Game Day Nachos with Chili Cheese.

The only negative about this location is it’s a bit far to get to depending on which resort you’re staying at.  Still, it’s worth it and gives you a great excuse to make a trip over and check out the complex if you haven’t already.

Stop by before the Super Bowl in the afternoon and make a day out of it!

4. Your Resort Lounge/Pool Bar

Best Places to Watch Super Bowl in Walt Disney World Lounges

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!

A couple of the best ones to watch the games are Martha’s Vineyard in the Beach Club Resort and Rix Sports Bar at Coronado Springs Resort. Both have great viewing areas for the game, and in fact, are worth considering visiting 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! 

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

Your hotel room is one of the Best Places to Watch Super Bowl in Walt Disney World

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 or other room service and feel free to yell and scream at the TV without others giving you dirty looks or worse, making the guy 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

Best Places to Watch Super Bowl in Walt Disney World Splitsville

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. You also can enjoy the Wing Specials & More at Splitsville on Football Sundays, including Super Bowl Sunday.

Check the Splitsville website for specials during this year’s super bowl.

1. City Works Eatery & Pour House – Disney Springs

This is the newest entry to our list of the best places to watch the Super Bowl in Disney World, and it makes it all the way up to #1! That may seem like a huge jump forward, but City Works is really THAT good.

City Works Beer Flight

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 90 craft beers on tap? That should give you enough variety for the length of the game.

In previous years, City Works have had a Super Bowl party from 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm EST. If they have it again this year, we recommend arriving well before that to get a table. Better yet, you can make a reservation online to reserve a table. Last year they had a raffle at halftime and gave away a $50 gift card.

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 up with the Disney characters to participate in this parade. We are still waiting to see if there will be a Super Bowl parade in 2024.

(Closed Locations) ESPN Club – Disney’s Boardwalk

Best Places to Watch Super Bowl in Walt Disney World ESPN Club

(The ESPN Club is now permanently closed since Disney World closed in 2020 as it never reopened with the resort. 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 until it closed in 2020. We used to love this place and have seen dozens of games here over the years.

It was full of almost 100 TVs, all of which will be showing the game, so you would never find a bad seat in the house.  There were even TVs in the restrooms, so you didn’t miss one second of the action!  

The atmosphere was the best on property as there’s always electricity in the air when you watch a game here, especially the biggest one of the year.

ESPN Club also had awesome food, and perfect for a football game like the Super Bowl.  I think their wings were among the best in Walt Disney World, plus all the rest of the appetizers and drinks are great too.

The last year that they showed the Super Bowl here, they ran a special cover of $100 and all the drinks and food you wanted was included.  It may seem like a high price, but over a few hours, all that beer and food can certainly add up so you got your money’s worth if you went hungry.

Disney World Super Bowl FAQs

Where Can I Watch the Super Bowl at Disney World?

Disney World has many bars, restaurants, and lounges that are perfect for watching the Super Bowl. You can also see the game in the luxury of your own resort hotel room.

Is Disney World Crowded on Super Bowl Sunday?

In the past Super Bowl Sunday used to be a “slow” day at Walt Disney World. That has changed in recent years and it is now an above-average day in attendance.

Yes, every year at least one player from the winning team makes it into the Super Bowl parade which is complete with Disney characters and plenty of festivities. Last year there was not a Super Bowl parade due to the restrictions. Disney has not yet announced if there will be one in 2024 or not.

What Time is the Super Bowl Parade in Walt Disney World?

The time for this year’s parade hasn’t been determined yet. The last time they had a parade, it was in Disney’s Magic Kingdom at 2:40 pm.

Good selections. City Works is the probably the best choice for me. Will have to check out the Wide World of Sports. Seems good. But I am of the crowd who misses the Boardwalk ESPN. Seen a lot of games there. Went at least a few times per visit with my son and dear friends. Great wings, chowder, and best of all the memories. Good stuff

Is the ESPN Club still open (in 2021?) Last time I was there it was closed and the Disney website lists this as "Temporarily Closed."

Hi Morgan. No, right now the ESPN Club is not open. I've had the article for a few years now and I left it in there for next year. In that section I said how it's closed right now, sorry if I didn't make it more visible for you :)

Love your first choice. When my son was young we forged many good memories there. Baseball or football they are times you will never regret as your kids grow up. My favorite for sports in Disney with my son. :) Marion
