Applebee’s is setting the stage for a lively NFL Draft week with a special promotion to celebrate its new official partnership with the NFL. Starting Thursday, April 25, fans can indulge in 20 free boneless wings, marking the beginning of a multi-year agreement where Applebee’s will serve as the NFL’s “Official Grill + Bar.”
This initiative isn’t just a first for Applebee’s, which has previously sponsored NBC’s Football Night in America; it’s also a premiere for the NFL to have an Official Grill + Bar, stepping up their game day experience. “The synergy between Applebee’s patrons and NFL fans is undeniable, which is why this collaboration is a perfect match,” said Joel Yashinsky, Applebee’s Chief Marketing Officer. “With favorites like our boneless wings and an array of drinks, Applebee’s is the go-to spot for football fans.”
To score the free wings, patrons must place a takeout or delivery order of at least $40 through the Applebee’s website or mobile app, using the promo code NFLDRAFT24. It’s important to note that this offer is valid directly through Applebee’s channels only, not applicable for third-party delivery services like DoorDash or Uber Eats.
Tracie Rodburg, NFL’s Senior Vice President of Sponsorship Management, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “Teaming up with Applebee’s, a brand committed to top-notch game day atmospheres, aligns perfectly with our efforts to enhance fan experiences,” Rodburg stated.
This promotion is available from the start of the draft on April 25 through April 27, providing ample time for fans to enjoy their snacks while speculating on their team’s picks. And for those loyal fans whose teams might not shine this season—like the Carolina Panthers followers—Applebee’s promises more NFL-themed deals to brighten your game days throughout the year.
