The most fun you can have betting on the Super Bowl is getting action on some of the wild and wacky prop bets that online sportsbooks offer for the big game. You can find props for anything from the length of the national anthem, to the color of the winning teams gatorade shower and everything in between. These types of prop bets really add to the excitement of the Super Bowl and make for some very interesting viewing.
In this article I will outline a few examples of the common prop bets you can place on the game and then also get into the fun, wacky, novelty props on offer at the end. I will also explain where Americans can bet on these props and provide a step by step guide to getting started in time for Super Bowl LX.
All of the odds below are accurate as of February 4th (a few days before the Super Bowl).
Where Can Americans Bet On Super Bowl Props?
Game props and novelty props are treated differently, so where you can bet depends on the type of prop.
Licensed Sportsbooks
Licensed sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM offer a huge selection of game and player props for the Super Bowl in the more than 35 states where sports betting is legal. Most state regulators do not allow novelty props like the National Anthem or halftime show, so those are generally not available. You must be 21 or older in most states and physically located in a state where the sportsbook is licensed.
Prediction Markets
Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket offer contracts on the game and have listed some Super Bowl novelty events, but the selection varies from year to year. These platforms operate under federal oversight from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rather than state gambling law, which is why they are available in most states.
Offshore Sportsbooks
Offshore sportsbooks are where novelty props are most widely offered. They are not licensed or regulated by any US state, which means Americans who use them have no state regulator to turn to if there is a dispute over a bet or a withdrawal.
2026 Super Bowl Prop Bets – Game Focused
Super Bowl LX MVP
If the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, Sam Darnold is the most likely player to win the MVP, but both Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+475) and Kenneth Walker III (+800) are there as potential winners as well. If the Patriots win the Super Bowl the odds indicate it’s expected that Drake Maye would win the MVP. The Patriots money line odds (to win the Super Bowl) are +195 and Drake Maye has just slightly longer odds (+230) to win the MVP. Rhamondre Stevenson or Stefon Diggs are capable of having big games, so taking shots on them at long odds while looking for a Patriots win could be an interesting strategy.
First Score of the Game
This is a popular prop bet that you will often see on Super Bowl Props sheets. What will be the first way points get on the board. Either teams touchdown, field goal, or safety are the options.
2026 Super Bowl Prop Bets – Fun Novelty Props
Ok, that’s enough of the normal football related prop bets. There is an absolutely monster selection of Super Bowl prop bets where you can basically bet on any statistic from the game.
Here are some of my favorite novelty props for the game (odds for all props accurate as of February 4th):
Will Any Player/Coach Cry During the National Anthem
- Yes -230
- No +160
The most popular National Anthem prop is generally the length of the anthem (over/under 123 seconds at the time of this update). There are several other National Anthem related props including whether a player/coach will be seen crying, and which players will be shown first during the anthem.
Who will the MVP Refer to 1st
- God/Religion -300
- Team/Teammates +160
- City/Fans +2000
- Family +3300
- Coaches +5000
- Team Owner +5000
This is always a popular prop as well, and you can usually get some insight based on which players are most likely to win the award.
Predominant Color of Bad Bunny’s Entrance Top?
- Black +175
- White +225
- Blue +400
- Green +500
- Yellow +800
- Brown +800
- Grey/Silver +800
- Red +1200
- Pink +1200
- Gold +1200
**The above odds are from February 4th.
Bad Bunny is headlining the halftime show. You can bet on his appearance (color of top, hair color, style of dress), as well as the performance (which song he will sing first, guest appearances, number of songs, etc.).
There is a huge variety of half-time related betting lines available, with more than 30 at the time of this update.
What color will the liquid be that is poured on the winning coach?
- Orange +240
- Blue +240
- Yellow/green/lime +275
- Purple +550
- Clear/Water +700
- Red/Pink +1400
This is a very popular Super Bowl prop. I always go with water on this prop because if the players have any decency they won’t get their coach all sticky for the trophy ceremony. Last year Yellow was the winning color and it was the favorite after some leaked information likely stated the Eagles (or possibly both teams) would have Yellow gatorade for the game. The previous two years the Chiefs had purple gatorade.
The last time the Patriots won the Super Bowl (2019) they had Blue gatorade, and the last time the Seahawks won the Super Bowl (2014) they used Orange gatorade.
Which Patriots fan celebrity will be shown first on the broadcast?
- Mark Wahlberg +300
- Ben Affleck +400
- Matt Damon +450
- John Krasinski +500
- John Cena +550
- Jon Bon Jovi +600
- Elizabeth Banks +1000
- Steven Tyler +1200
- Bill Burr +1600
- Conan O’Brien +2000
- Elton John +2500
There are several of these “seen first” prop betting lines including notable Seahawks fans (Richard Sherman, Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Rainn Wilson, Eddie Vedder, etc.).
As you can see the prop bets can get pretty outrageous. There are several other Bad Bunny, Cardi B, broadcast and game props that you can bet on as well.
How To Bet On The Super Bowl Props Online – Step By Step
Whichever option you choose, the process of getting started is similar. Here’s a general guide.
Step 1. Choose Your Option
Decide which type of platform fits how you want to bet. Licensed sportsbooks offer the widest range of game and player props where they are available, but check which platforms actually offer novelty markets, since licensed sportsbooks generally do not. Review the options above before signing up.
Step 2. Check The Age and Location Rules
Every platform has its own eligibility requirements. Most prediction markets require you to be at least 18, while licensed sportsbooks require you to be 21 in most states and physically located in the state where they are licensed.
Step 3. Create and Verify Your Account
Sign up with your legal name, date of birth and address. Regulated platforms are required to verify your identity, so you may be asked for the last four digits of your Social Security number or a photo of your ID.
Step 4. Fund Your Account
Deposit using one of the platform’s payment methods, which commonly include debit cards and bank transfers. Check how withdrawals work, and how long they take, before you deposit.
Step 5. Find The Market and Place Your Bet
Navigate to the Super Bowl props section, select the market you’re interested in, and choose your position. Before confirming, check the price or odds and how much you stand to win, using the bet types explained above as a guide.
Step 6. Set Limits
Decide on a budget before kickoff and stick to it. Most regulated platforms let you set deposit and time limits in your account settings. If betting stops being fun, help is available 24/7 by calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
