This football season cheer on your favorite football team and celebrate the big game with these delicious football charcuterie boards full of all your favorite things like spicy buffalo chicken wings, cheese, and fun dips.
You’ll love a game day charcuterie board because:
Most of them don’t require cooking, you can just enjoy the game
There’s something for everyone on a big beautiful board
Easy to add sides dishes to (add platters of fries, buns, or a bowl of chips)
Prep ahead of time – cut cheese and make hummus the day before
Simple presentation – use a big platter or a large cutting board for the base
You can make any of these boards as they are, or customize them to your needs and preferences. If you love olives more than pickles, serve a few different types of olives on your board.
Hosting a large group of people? Make a couple of different boards or make one main board and add other dishes on the side, like tortilla chips and guacamole.
Look for tortilla chips that match your favorite team – my grocery store carries blue, white, yellow, and red tortilla chips!
Creative Charcuterie Boards Inspired by Main Dishes
These boards take a creative twist on charcuterie by making popular main dishes the star of the show.
You’ll find plenty of delicious finger foods, and delicious dips like hummus, ranch, and guacamole.
Try a chili board or taco board or turn your favorite game day appetizers like spicy wings into a fun game day board by offering a variety of items and arranging them on a big platter. This is a great way to level up your game day celebration.

Try a Mezze Platter with Mediterranean dips like Hummus, Moroccan Zaalouk, and Greek Tzatziki. Add keftedes meatballs, fruits, and veggies, olives, and cheese for a well-rounded board.

This board uses one of your favorite appetizers, chicken wings, in a fun way on this big board. Pack a large board with your favorite buffalo wings, and add fresh fruit, veg, and ranch dip!
Style a flavorful grazing board starting with Nam Prik Ong, a Thai dip made with ground pork, tomatoes, and flavorful herbs and seasoning. Add cucumber slices, lettuce cups, and steamed green beans on the side.
A departure from the traditional, this board features your favorite snacks like corn chips, pretzels, meat and cheese, pickles, almonds, M&M's, and mini smoked sausage with mustard for dipping.
Need the perfect snack board? I’m all about a cheese-focused board from sharp cheddar cheese to tangy soft goat cheese.
Offer a variety of crackers with the perfect blend of gourmet cheeses or take the fun route and go with a football-shaped cheese ball. Everyone should try it once!
