NFL Sundays Are Coming…

What an epic summer of weather & football we've had (Soccer in the states) but there’s a familiar feeling in the air… the weathers on the turn, summer will soon be over & it'll be the greatest time of year.... NFL season!

The countdown is on. The 2026 NFL season is almost here.

The 2026/27 NFL season kicks off on Wednesday 9th September, and we’re already counting down the days until NFL Sundays return to Hickory’s from Sunday 13th September.

And this season, we’re going all in!

Every Sunday from 6pm, we’ll be bringin' you the best of the NFL, Hickory’s style. Every game, every screen, every big play... so you won’t miss a single touchdown, sack or game-winning Hail Mary.

And if you want ALL the action? We’ve got NFL RedZone on the big screens, bringin' you every touchdown, big play and game-changing moment from across the league... all the action, all in one place.

So, when it comes to NFL Sundays, there’s no better seat in the house than at Hickory’s.

More wings. More beer. More football.

And, of course, it’s not just about what’s happening on the screens.

This season, expect more wings, more beers, as we bring even more of the American football experience to your Sunday every single week.

We’ve got a few plays up our sleeve, so watch this space… one thing’s for sure: you won’t want to sit this season out.

Think big flavours, ice-cold drinks & plenty of reasons to stay in the game from kick-off to the final whistle.

Ultimately, one thing’s for sure - this season is going to be a touchdown.
