100 Square Board

10x10 grid

The classic. 100 squares with a single digit 0-9 on each axis. Best for big parties and office pools.

50 Square Board

10x5 grid

50 squares for a medium group. Ten columns and five rows, so each row number covers two digits.

25 Square Board

5x5 grid

25 squares for a smaller crowd. Five numbers per side, each covering a pair of digits. Fills fast.

How Football Squares Work

1

Print the Grid

Print out a blank template or build a custom board. You'll get a 10x10 grid with 100 squares to fill.

2

Claim Squares

Pass the sheet around. Everyone writes their name in one or more empty squares and pays the entry fee for each one.

3

Draw Numbers

Once all 100 squares are claimed, randomly draw numbers 0 through 9 for each row and column header and write them in.

4

Watch and Win

At the end of each quarter, check the last digit of both scores. The square where those two digits meet on the grid is the winner.

Want the long version? PickMySquare's founder wrote a full walkthrough of building a paper board (the grid, what to charge, how to split the payout, and the mistakes people make) over on our sister site, Big Guy on Stuff.

How to Draw Your Numbers

Two ways to do this once every square is claimed, and both work fine.

The Hat Draw

Write 0 through 9 on ten slips of paper, fold them, and pull them one at a time for the top axis. Do it again with a fresh set of ten slips for the side axis. Read each number out loud as you pull it so the whole room can watch it happen. It's slow, it's a little theatrical, and that's kind of the point.

The Number Generator

Skip the hunt for a hat. Our free football squares number generator draws digits 0 through 9 one at a time with no repeats, live in front of the group, or over a screen share if your crowd is scattered. Same fairness, no slips of paper to lose.

Whichever method you use, draw the numbers only after every square is claimed. Assign them early and whoever's left picking squares can chase the digits that tend to hit, which turns a fair game into a rigged one fast.

FAQ

The blank template is a plain 10x10 grid with write-in lines, just print it and hand out markers. The custom builder lets you pick your two NFL teams, add a game date and board size, then prints with real team colors. Both are free and come from this same page, so pick whichever fits how your group likes to run a board.

Pass the sheet around before you touch the numbers. Everyone writes their name, or initials, in as many empty squares as they want to claim. Once every square has a name in it, move on to drawing the digits. Numbers never go on the grid first, that's the one rule that keeps a paper board honest.

Two ways. Write 0 through 9 on ten slips of paper and pull them from a hat, once for the columns and again for the rows. Or use our free online number generator and draw them on screen with the group watching. Either way, draw the numbers only after every square is claimed, never before.

Go with the classic 100 square grid for a big party or office pool. For a smaller group, the 50 square board pairs two digits per row, and the 25 square board pairs two digits on both axes, so a five person crowd can still fill a whole grid without anyone buying ten squares apiece.

Yes. The custom board builder lets you choose your two NFL teams and prints with their real colors, plus you can upload a photo to use as a light background watermark for a fundraiser or party board. It's still free, still one page, and ready to print or save as a PDF.

No account and no cost. Every template on this page prints straight from your browser or downloads as a PDF. We only ask for an email if you want a link back to a custom board you built so you can reprint it later, and that's optional.

Any time. A free online football squares board handles the grid, the numbers, and the quarter winners on its own as the game happens. Plenty of groups start on paper because it's what they know, then move online once they're tired of squinting at a taped-up grid across the room.
