Find a Watch Party

Boise State football has fans everywhere — and watch parties are how they find each other. Organized by alumni chapters and regional clubs, these gatherings bring Broncos together at local bars and restaurants across the country to watch the game and meet fellow alumni in their city.

Some parties draw big crowds. Others are smaller and more low-key. But alumni consistently say the same thing: it’s worth showing up.
