The Super Bowl is the most watched television event every year, drawing both fanatical NFL followers and those who only watch the football for something to do between commercials. If you’ve been invited to a Super Bowl party with people who are more interested in the football than the ads, you may want to spend a bit of time prepping so you don’t stick out as the Super Bowl novice.

Our collection of the seven best Super Bowl apps are free to use, and they’ll give you all of the information you need to know about the Patriots, the Falcons, Super Bowl history, and Lady Gaga. With your impressive knowledge from these Super Bowl apps, you might even be picked to host the Super Bowl LII party next February!

Fox Sports Go

How to stream Super Bowl live appTrue Super Bowl fans will be watching the big game on a huge HDTV. But even bigger fans will have a second option available, just in case. After all, you may have to get a second helping of hot wings from the kitchen at some point during the game, and you don’t want to miss one play … or one commercial.

You can use the Fox Sports Go app to stream Super Bowl LI on your smartphone. This app is free for both iOS and Android users. Those viewing the game on the app will not need to enter proof that they have a pay TV service, which is great for cord cutters. Viewers using the app will receive both national advertisements as well as local ads during breaks in the game.

Live Odds

Live Super Bowl oddsImpress your friends by knowing all of the Las Vegas odds on the Super Bowl, including all of the crazy bets. After all, those are the most fun. Everyone knows the Patriots are a field goal favorite, but not everyone knows you can wager on the color of Gatorade that will soak the winning coach.

The Live Odds app from SportsInsights will give you real-time information on each possible wager the sports books in Las Vegas are offering. You also can see trending information on how the public is wagering on the game, making it sound as if you spent several hours watching the Super Bowl prep shows to garner the latest information.

Live Odds is free to download, but you can make in-app purchases for more detailed content and historical information.

Super Bowl LI Houston

Official Super Bowl appThe official on-site Super Bowl LI app is available from the NFL. This free app is designed for people attending the game to learn about all of the different functions and events going on around the game. The app also contains a QR code for gaining admission to events.

Even if you aren’t attending the game, you can impress those at your Super Bowl party by knowing about all of the different experiences available, such as meeting famous NFL players. Maybe you can even recreate a similar experience at your party: Signing a few autographs while wearing your Joe Montana jersey isn’t illegal, is it?

Super Bowl NFL Emojis

Super Bowl emojisWant to show all of your friends how big of a Patriots or Falcons fan you are? The official NFL Emoji app provides a series of emoji-like stickers you can insert at the top of your text messages. You can select from any of the 32 NFL teams to see their stickers.

So whether you’ve been a Patriots or Falcons fan forever — or for just a week or two — you can make it appear as though you’ve been with the team all along with this app! And when your team is winning at halftime, sending 51 consecutive texts with your team’s sticker at the top to your buddy who’s a fan of the other team is not in bad form at all.

Official Team Apps

Super Bowl team appsIf you want to do a deep-dive into information about the Patriots and Falcons before the game, download the official team apps for both of them. These Super Bowl apps allow you to go back and see highlights from the season and read game recaps.

You’ll have access to the player and team statistics. There’s live talk show broadcasts leading up to the game, as well as live press conference feeds. (And to answer your question, yes, there’s a photo gallery of the team cheerleaders inside the app.)

If you need some new gear — say an NFC Champion Falcons sweatshirt — you can order gear through the teams’ e-commerce stores in the free app.

At Ben’s Bargains, we’ve collected some coupons for the NFL Store that can help you save some money on Patriots and Falcons gear.

Super Bowl Trivia

Super Bowl trivia quiz appIf the game’s a blowout, the hot wings sauce barely has the kick of ketchup, and the commercials are a bore, perhaps you can still save your Super Bowl party with the Super Bowl Trivia app. With 50 Super Bowl games already in the books, developer Evel Bunny Studios has plenty of material to create dozens of trivia questions in its free app.

It’s in a multiple choice format, so even those who aren’t fanatical about the NFL or about the Super Bowl will have a chance. The app is free for Android users.

If you’re on the iOS format, consider the Super Bowl Quiz app. The quiz questions are sorted by category in this app, which is a nice feature.

Halftime Show

Lady Gaga app, Super Bowl halftime appIf you don’t know much about Lady Gaga, but you want to sound hip during the halftime show, you need to do your homework. The Gaga Daily app is free, and it will give you the latest news on Lady Gaga. With her appearance on the Super Bowl halftime show coming up, the app is loaded with current information. (As of this time, this app is only available for Android devices. An Apple iOS version is under development.)

If you’d rather just be able to familiarize yourself with Gaga’s songs before the halftime show, consider the Lada Gaga Songs & Lyrics Android app. It’s a pretty simple app, and with the lyrics available, you can sing along during the halftime show.

For iPhone users, the My Artist Alerts for Lady Gaga is the best free app, containing news, related tweets, and song lyrics.

You’ll be a Monster before you know it with these apps!
