If you’ve ever hosted a game-day breakfast, a tailgate morning, or a “let’s watch football but still eat something warm” get-together, you already know the problem: most party food is either too messy, too slow, or too expensive for what you actually get.
That’s why this limited-time Chick-fil-A item keeps popping up every football season: the Chick-fil-A 10 ct Chick-n-Minis® Football-Shaped Tray. It’s fun (football-shaped), familiar (Chick-n-Minis), and easy to serve—no cooking, no setup, and no “what do we do with this giant tray of food that got cold in 10 minutes?” stress.
In this 2026 guide, you’ll get the full, updated breakdown—price, calories, nutrition facts, allergens, ingredients, availability dates, ordering tips, serving math, and smarter menu combos—so you can decide if this tray is the right move for your next gathering.
What is the Chick-fil-A 10 ct Chick-n-Minis® Football-Shaped Tray?
The football-shaped tray is seasonal packaging that Chick-fil-A brings back “to kick off football season.” According to Chick-fil-A’s official customer support page, participating restaurants offer football-shaped trays filled with either: 30-count Chick-fil-A® Nuggets or 10-count Chick-n-Minis® (available during breakfast hours), while supplies last.

How to order the Chick-n-Minis Football-Shaped Tray
Because this is seasonal, you want the fastest method that reduces surprises.
Step 1: Confirm your location is participating
Chick-fil-A explicitly says football trays are at participating restaurants and recommends contacting your local restaurant to confirm availability.
Step 2: Order during breakfast hours
The football tray can be filled with Chick-n-Minis during breakfast hours.
If your store stops breakfast at a certain time, don’t cut it close—schedule pickup earlier than you think.
Step 3: Use the Chick-fil-A app (when possible)
Why the app helps:
- you see real local pricing
- you see if the item is listed
- you can schedule pickup
- you can avoid “sold out” surprises by ordering earlier
Step 4: Add sauces intentionally
Chick-n-Minis are already flavorful (honey butter + nuggets), so sauce isn’t always required—but for groups, sauces make the tray feel “bigger” and more exciting.
A good mix is:
- 1 crowd-pleaser sauce
- 1 sweet sauce
- 1 spicy sauce (optional)
- 1 tangy/BBQ-style option
FAQs – Chick-fil-A 10 ct Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis® Football-Shaped Tray
1) Does the football-shaped tray cost more than a normal 10-count Chick-n-Minis order?
Sometimes it can, because seasonal packaging and limited-time items don’t always match standard menu pricing. The only accurate way to compare is to build two carts in the Chick-fil-A app at the same location: one with the football tray and one with the closest standard Chick-n-Minis option, then compare totals.
2) Why do I see different prices for the same football tray online?
Chick-fil-A pricing can vary by location, and different ordering methods (pickup vs delivery, in-app vs third-party) can also affect the total. If you’re writing a “2026 updated list,” the best advice is: check the official app for your local store’s live price before you plan a party budget.
3) Can I order the Chick-n-Minis football tray all day if I pre-order it in the morning?
Many locations treat Chick-n-Minis as a breakfast-hours item, so even if you’re pre-ordering, the pickup time may need to fall within breakfast. If your plan is for an afternoon game, your best “menu strategy” is either (a) switch to the nuggets football tray, or (b) confirm your store’s rules by calling.
4) Is the nuggets football tray a better “value per person” than the Chick-n-Minis football tray?
Often yes for larger groups, because nuggets are easier to split across many people without needing “one mini per person.” Chick-n-Minis feel more like an individual serving. If you’re feeding 10–20 people, nuggets usually scale better as a main protein item, while Chick-n-Minis work best as a featured breakfast add-on.
5) Can I order two Chick-n-Minis football trays instead of one nuggets football tray?
Yes, and it’s a common move for morning events. The decision comes down to your crowd: if people want “hand-held breakfast sliders,” two Chick-n-Minis trays can feel more exciting than nuggets—especially for kids and casual gatherings.
6) What’s the best way to budget for a group using Chick-fil-A football trays?
Instead of guessing, use this rule: decide whether the tray is a “main” or “supporting” item. If it’s a main, plan for fewer people per tray. If it’s supporting, it stretches much further. Then finalize your budget by checking your store’s in-app cart total (because local pricing and taxes change the final number).
7) Do football-shaped trays show up under “Catering,” or are they regular menu items?
It depends on the location’s setup. Some stores list them under catering or seasonal items; others list them more like a special packaged item. The best approach is to search the app for “football tray” or “football-shaped,” then check both the regular menu and catering sections.
8) If my store is sold out of football-shaped trays, what’s the closest menu replacement?
The simplest replacement is a regular Chick-n-Minis tray or standard Chick-n-Minis count in normal packaging. You’ll lose the football shape, but your menu plan stays intact. If your goal is “football theme,” you can create it yourself with serving platters and football napkins.
9) Is there a cheaper way to create a “Chick-n-Minis style” spread for a party?
If your goal is mini breakfast sandwiches, some people buy standard Chick-n-Minis counts and arrange them on a platter. That can be cheaper or similar depending on store pricing—again, cart comparison is the easiest way to see the real difference.
10) Can I customize the football tray (different bread, no honey butter, etc.)?
Seasonal items are often less customizable than standard menu items, especially when they come with a fixed build and packaging. If customization is critical for your group, your best menu strategy is ordering standard Chick-n-Minis or nuggets and customizing around that.
11) How many sauces should I add for a party without wasting money?
For a 10-count tray, you don’t need a mountain of sauces. A smart menu approach is 2–4 sauces total: one classic, one sweet, and optional spicy/tangy options. That gives variety without piling up extras no one uses.
12) Is pickup usually cheaper than delivery for football trays?
Almost always. Delivery adds fees and sometimes changes pricing depending on fulfillment method. If you’re trying to keep your “price per person” low, pickup is the better menu decision for catering-style items.
13) What’s the best add-on item to make the tray feel like a full meal?
For breakfast events, the best add-ons are something fresh (fruit) and something drink-focused (coffee/juice). That combination turns “one tray” into a complete menu without needing multiple expensive entrée trays.
14) Are football trays available on Sundays if I’m planning a Sunday game?
Chick-fil-A restaurants are famously closed on Sundays, so Sunday pickup is not a typical option. Plan for Saturday events, early weekday games, or pickup before Sunday if you’re doing a “Sunday watch party” at home.
15) What’s the best time to place my order during football season so I don’t miss out?
Order earlier than you think—especially for rivalry weekends, playoff weekends, and Super Bowl season—because the football-shaped packaging is limited and can sell out. A smart menu planning move is ordering 24–48 hours ahead when possible and scheduling pickup.
