About Football Bros

Arcade American football

Football Bros is a fast-paced American football game by Blue Wizard Digital, with retro pixel graphics, simple controls and exaggerated collisions. You still call real offensive and defensive plays, and the goal is simple: score more points than your opponent before time runs out.

Six ways to play

Choose Quick Play for a fast match, Franchise for a full season, Two Players Same PC, Online Versus Friends, College Quick Play or College Franchise.

Pro and College teams

Pick from 32 professional-style teams with fictionalized names, or unlock 60+ state-based College teams. Franchise mode ends with a chase for the Super Bro Bowl.

Free in your browser

No download is needed. Chrome is the recommended browser, and online matches are private games with friends through an invitation.

How to Play Football Bros

  1. Choose a game mode and a team. Quick Play is the easiest place to learn.

  2. Before each snap, pick an offensive or defensive play that fits the down and distance.

  3. On offense, move the ball carrier, wait for a receiver to get open, then press Spacebar to throw. If you keep the ball, run upfield and dodge defenders.

  4. On defense, cover receivers and cut off the ball carrier. Stop the offense before the first-down marker to take the ball back.

  5. Score touchdowns (6 points), then choose an extra point or a two-point conversion. Finish the game with more points than your opponent.

Tips & Tricks

Learn in Quick Play

Practice passing, defense and team choice there before you commit to a Franchise season.

Before you start

Click inside the game frame so the keyboard works. For two-player matches, test both layouts first because some keyboards cannot register many keys at once.

Be patient with passes

Do not throw the moment the play starts. Wait for a receiver to separate, but not so long that the pass rush reaches your quarterback.

Time your dive and stiff-arm

Stiff-arm just before contact: too early and the defender recovers, too late and you are tackled. Dive only near a marker, the goal line or the sideline, because you lose movement control mid-dive.

Mix runs and passes

Repeating one play makes you easy to read, especially against a friend. Run when defenders spread out, then attack deep once they crowd the run.

Defend the lane, not just the player

Stand between the quarterback and the receiver to intercept. Blitz selectively, since heavy pressure can leave receivers uncovered.

Play the score and the clock

When leading late, keep possession and avoid risky passes. When trailing, gain yards quickly. Go for two only when it ties the game or builds a more useful lead.
