Atlanta (Special to NFLNewsbyZennie62.com) – Applebee’s Grill + Bar and the National Football League announced today they have entered into a multi-year partnership agreement designating Applebee’s as the Official Grill + Bar of the NFL.
With this new partnership, Applebee’s will leverage the entire NFL calendar, beginning with next week’s NFL Draft, to engage football fans across the United States, and continue to bring great value and delicious food and drinks to guests on gameday – whether at one of the more than 1,500 Applebee’s restaurants nationwide, at home or tailgates with Applebee’s To Go.
“Applebee’s fans are NFL fans, which is why we are excited to bring America’s Favorite Grill + Bar together with America’s number one sport in a way that will create a fun and engaging experience for all,” said Joel Yashinsky, chief marketing officer at Applebee’s Grill + Bar. “We have the best food and drinks to enjoy while watching games, whether dining at our restaurants or enjoying Applebee’s To Go at home. From America’s Favorite Boneless Wings, Mozzarella Sticks and more to a wide range of bar offerings, there’s no better place than Applebee’s to enjoy watching football. We can’t wait to provide great experiences and NFL opportunities to our fans.”
NFL Is Excited To Welcome Applebee’s as Official Grill + Bar Partner

Applebee’s is no stranger to fans of the NFL, having been a sponsor of the pregame show, “Football Night in America” for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” since 2019. Through this formal partnership with the NFL, Applebee’s will connect with guests and fans authentically, enhancing their fan experience.
