Game Day, Upgraded: How to Celebrate Football Season at MGM National Harbor

With Labor Day behind us, it’s officially time to say so long to summer and embrace the start of one of the best times of the year: football season! And at MGM National Harbor, there’s no need to worry about fumbling your gameday plans.

Celebrate Your Squad at TAP Sports Bar

Beginning September 28, TAP Sports Bar transforms into the official home base for Washington Commanders Away Game Rallies. Fans can expect giveaways, live DJ sets, and appearances from Washington Legends and Command Force—all for free! The party starts one hour before kickoff, so come early to claim your spot.

Got a big crew? TAP offers a private cheering section in partnership with the Commanders, complete with oversized food and beverage packages that make game day feel like a championship celebration. On the menu? Smoked BBQ Pork Rib Tips, Jerk Chicken Wings, Seafood Pasta Salad, and other MVP-worthy dishes that taste as good as a fourth-quarter win.

Watch Every Play at BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge

If you want to feel like you’re in the stadium (without leaving your seat), the BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge delivers. With a 360-degree jumbotron and a wraparound screen projecting games in every direction, you won’t miss a single highlight. Add in the energy of fellow fans and you’ve got one of the most electric viewing experiences in the region.

Looking to place a wager? MGM National Harbor offers more than 40 sports betting kiosks throughout the casino, plus a second BetMGM Sportsbook on the upper level, and even a counter and kiosks right at TAP. For those who want to keep the action going at home, the upgraded BetMGM mobile app is faster, sleeker, and comes with a loyalty dashboard that transforms your plays into real-world MGM Rewards points.

We look forward to seeing you for football and so much more!
