FAQs
A strong game-day setup usually starts with a TV or projector, audio like a soundbar or Bluetooth speaker, and a streaming device if your display doesn’t already have the apps you need. If you’re hosting outside or moving between spaces, portable projectors and tailgate speakers can make setup easier.
A TV is often the easiest choice for bright rooms and everyday watching, while a projector can be a great fit when you want a flexible big-screen setup for a basement, patio or temporary viewing area. If you want more ideas for screen size and picture options, check out Best Buy’s Football TV.
Not always. Many smart TVs and smart projectors already support popular streaming apps, but a separate streaming device can make navigation faster or add app access to displays that need it. It can also be a simple way to move your streaming setup from room to room.
For living rooms and indoor setups, a soundbar is a simple upgrade that helps dialogue and crowd noise come through more clearly. For tailgates and outdoor hangouts, a portable Bluetooth speaker is usually the better fit. You can explore more outdoor-friendly options on Best Buy’s Bluetooth Speakers for Tailgating.
They can be a great option when you want a compact setup that’s easy to carry and quick to reposition. Look for features like built-in streaming, Bluetooth, auto focus and simple HDMI connectivity to make game-day setup smoother.
Beyond the screen and speakers, extras like frozen-drink makers can help turn a regular viewing setup into a full watch-party experience. If you want to add icy drinks or treats to the lineup, visit Best Buy’s slushy machine page at Slushy Machines for Quick and Easy Frozen Treats.
