I like a Super Bowl quiz where the football obsessive and the person waiting for halftime can both carry the team for a round.
These 80 Super Bowl trivia questions cover championship history, unforgettable plays, MVPs, stadiums, halftime performers, and games through Super Bowl LX, with answers ready for your next watch party.
For the host: Give one point per complete answer and read the question before revealing the answer line. A season year and the following winter’s game date are different, so keep the year or Super Bowl number in the question when reading aloud.
