In 2022, the Super Bowl saw a bit of a popularity rebound and attracted a whopping 99.18 million live TV viewers — up from a little under 92 million the year before. The point is: the Super Bowl is not just the NFL’s biggest event of the year; it’s one of the biggest television events, period. It also happens to be the perfect opportunity to throw a viewing party with all your closest friends and family (just remember to be cautious and careful, as the COVID pandemic is still very much a thing over three years later, now).
But throwing a Super Bowl party is not as simple as ordering a couple of pizzas and turning your TV onto the right channel — not if you want to do it right, that is. If you want to be the big hero come Sunday, February 12 when the eight remaining NFL teams will be whittled down to just the two facing off at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium, you’ll want to start outfitting your home, backyard and/or wherever else with the gear necessary to get it done properly — figuring out your recipes isn’t a bad idea either. But you don’t have to figure that out for yourself, as we’ve wrangled together everything you need to throw the ultimate Super Bowl party below.

$192.00 at Amazon
$230.00(17% off)
With cable TV in its death throes, there’s a high likelihood you’re going to be streaming the big game via the internet. But you don’t want to be caught dead buffering in the middle of it, so it might be time to upgrade your Wi-Fi modem-router combo to something more high-speed.
Amazon
Tojiro DP Gyutou
$101.00 at Amazon
$120.00(16% off)
Honestly, you should already have a solid chef knife in your kitchen. But in the off chance that you don’t, this one will do the trick, especially when you need to do a bunch of prep work for your Super Bowl party. It also just so happens to be our top pick from our chef knife guide.
Huckberry
HighBall Shaker
$79.00 at Huckberry
This co*cktail shaker looks great, full stop. But what really makes it an enticing find for a football party is that it was made for outdoor usage, so it’s especially tough — even if you or your guests drop it a few times.
Amazon

Our Place
Our Place Always Pan
$150.00 at Our Place
You’ll probably rely heavily on your oven and grill for this major sporting holiday, but there’s always a chance you’ll need to call an audible and cook something on the stovetop. Well, this pan can fry, steam, saute and more — making it the perfect pickup.
Traeger

$1,699.00(18% off)
When it comes to the Super Bowl, you don’t want to miss a second or a pixel of the action. As such (and if you’ve got a big enough wall) you might want to opt for a projector instead of a TV — like this one with its 4K HD quality, ability to throw a 100-inch image and more.
