Football game at MetLife Stadium (Photo by Myron Mott on Usplash)
The 2026–2027 NFL season kicks off on Wednesday, September 9, and if your house is anything like mine, there has been football talk all summer. Fantasy football, predictions, drafts and plenty of discussion about the season ahead. With fantasy drafts happening this week, football season is officially almost here.
For Jewish football fans, though, the start of this season is going to look a little different. The way the chaggim fall this year knocks out much of the first month of Sunday football. The second day of Rosh Hashanah falls on the first Sunday of the season, the following Sunday is Erev Yom Kippur, and the next two Sundays fall during Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
So for many of us, it may be a few weeks before we actually make it to a game, or even settle in for a full Sunday of football.
But once the chaggim are over, there is still plenty of football left. And if you're heading to a game, you may not have to settle for bringing snacks from home.
We've updated our guide to kosher food at NFL stadiums for the 2026–2027 season, with information on where you can find kosher hot dogs, sausages, knishes and other game-day food while cheering on your team.
The following is a list of kosher concessions at NFL stadiums where kosher food is served at home games.
- Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field: The Kosher Grill, run by Lubavitch of Bucks County, will be offering kosher hot dogs and sausages at all Eagles home games.
- New York Jets & New York Giants at MetLife Stadium: There are 7 kosher stands at MetLife stadium under the hashgacha of the VHQ (Vaad HaRabonim of Queens).
- Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium: Kosher Korner under the supervision of the ORB is open during home games. Note new location this year.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium: Kosher food under the supervision of the Chabad of Tampa Bay. The stand offers kosher hot dogs, pretzels, and other kosher food options
- Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium: The stadium does not have kosher food, but according to their website, it is available by request if ordered at least 7 days in advance by emailing guestexperience@raiders.com.
Cashless Stadiums
Most NFL stadiums are now cashless, so it’s worth checking the stadium’s payment policy before heading to a game, whether you’re planning to buy kosher food, drinks, merchandise or anything else inside the stadium.
Payment options at cashless stadiums may include:
- Credit or debit cards
- Mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Contactless "tap to pay"
- Cash-to-card conversion kiosks
- Mobile ordering and payment through your phone
Keep in mind that payment options vary by stadium, and some venues do not accept cash at all.
Conclusion
Kosher food at NFL stadiums makes it that much easier to enjoy a game without having to plan your meals around it. Depending on the stadium, you might find everything from hot dogs and sausages to knishes, pretzels and other game-day food.
With the chaggim taking up much of the first month of Sunday football this year, some Jewish football fans may be getting a later start to the season. But there will still be plenty of football left once the holidays are over.
Kosher concessions can change from season to season, so always check the latest information before heading to the stadium. Then grab some kosher food, find your seats and enjoy the game.
