Sept. 5, 2025 — Whether you’re a football fan or just a food fan, Publix has a lineup of tailgating must-haves for the upcoming season. 

Snack attack

Every game needs the perfect snack, and we have everything you need to help satisfy those halftime cravings. 

Is your crowd salty or sweet? Swing by the produce department and pick up our Publix Peanut Butter Pretzels and Milk Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels. Our pretzels are crunchy and salty and filled with peanut butter. 

Rep your team bakery-style

Publix cupcakes are the perfect addition to every party, but we’re offering a seasonal twist. The bakery now features frosting colors in all 32 NFL teams’ colors. 

Whether you’re representing the hometown team or their rival, the bakery can decorate cupcakes to help you cheer them on to victory.

To make sure you have your team’s colors, order the 12-count cupcakes online at publix.com for in-store pickup. A 24-hour notice is required for online and specialty orders.

Hot off the press

New ready-to-cook Smash Patties are now available at Publix and are the MVP (most valuable patty) of your next tailgating party. These tasty Smash Patties, with rich butter and savory garlic flavors, are perfectly portioned and ready for the grill. 

Head to the meat department at your local Publix to pick up a 4-count pack of game-changing patties. While you’re there, dash over to the bakery for a 4-count of our Publix Brioche Hamburger Buns to really wow your team. 

Wing your way to victory

Score a touchdown at your next tailgate with our baked wings. Try our Limited Edition Jerk Baked Wings, coated in Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning and baked until tender. Or try our everyday Mardi Gras wings, tossed in a blend of herbs and spices and baked until tender and juicy. These wings will surely be crowd pleasers.

A winning strategy

Make our new everyday hummus a part of your game day lineup. Choose from Classic, Roasted Red Pepper, Roasted Garlic and Jalapeño & Cilantro flavors. They pair well with carrots and celery from our produce department.

There’s nothing secret about this playbook

Turn heads and taste buds with our delicious dips like our Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip, made with chicken breast, bacon and buttermilk ranch. Or try our Buffalo-Style Chicken Breast Dip, made with Neufchatel cheese, hot sauce and sour cream. You can also make the game-winning play with Publix Limited Edition Volcano Roll Dip, made with a blend of sweet Thai chili, gochujang sauce, imitation crabmeat, shredded carrots and green onions. 

Be a part of the home team

Nothing says home turf advantage like our traditional Chicken Tender Sub. This sub is a touchdown-worthy combination of double hand-breaded chicken tenders, your choice of cheese, crisp veggies and a variety of condiments on your choice of sub roll.

Want to make the ultimate play? Try one of our other everyday Chicken Tender Sub varieties, like the Buffalo Chicken Tender Sub, the Hot Honey Chicken Tender Sub, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Tender Sub or the Baked Chicken Tender Sub.
