Does Starbucks Offer Free Coffee for the Super Bowl?

🔍 Short Answer: Not officially — but promotions happen.

Starbucks does not consistently offer a national promotion for free coffee tied directly to the Super Bowl. However, in some past years, select stores or regions have run limited-time offers like:

- Free tall coffee the morning after the game

- Special discounts for customers wearing team gear

- Reward bonuses via the Starbucks app

These are rare, local, or one-time promotions, so don’t expect a guaranteed freebie every year.

 

🏟️ When Starbucks Has Done Promotions

In the past, Starbucks has used major events like the Super Bowl to:

- Promote reward program sign-ups

- Celebrate a team win with local store giveaways

- Offer next-day deals to help fans recover from a late game

Example: After Super Bowl XLIX (2015), some stores offered a free tall coffee on the Monday morning following the game — but it wasn’t a nationwide event.

Check the Offers tab in your Starbucks app: Limited-time deals sometimes pop up on game weekend.
