It’s that time of year again, football season; a time for football fans to gather and support their teams. As a football fan, there is nothing better than getting together with your friends and watching a game together. Thankfully, The Huddle, presented by Captain Morgan, is back to make that experience even easier – and better. This football season marks the third iteration of The Huddle in Canada. And this year promises to be bigger and better than ever with 14 new viewing parties in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
The official launch is this Thursday, September 5, 2024 in Toronto. Up first, the Kansas City Chiefs match up against the Baltimore Ravens with the first event will take place at King Taps restaurant (located at 100 King St. W); guests can check out their favourite teams going head-to-head, while having the opportunity to win official NFL swag, snap pics with the Vince Lombardi Trophy and catch local DJs at select viewing parties. The Huddle even promises that they will be special guest appearances from NFL Legends, mascots and cheerleaders to recreate in-person NFL experiences.
Not in Toronto? Not a Chiefs or Ravens fan? Not to worry, The Huddle will be running until Sunday, November 17, with viewing parties at local restaurant partners in Montreal and Vancouver. Just for example, you could catch the Rams versus the lions at the Village Taphouse in Vancouver on Sunday, September 8th, with a special appearance from some of the members of the Rams cheerleading squad. Now that is what we call a good time.
“With over 14.5 million fans in Canada, we’re looking to ignite new fandom across the country and spark excitement in our major markets,” said Tara Chetkowski, director of marketing & fan development, NFL Canada. “Following incredible momentum in Toronto, we’re bringing The Huddle viewing parties to Canadians nationwide, to give fans the opportunity to enjoy the game the way it’s meant to be celebrated: together.”
NFL fans are encouraged to reserve tables ahead of time to secure spots at each restaurant in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. You can book your table directly with participating restaurants.
