~ NFL is back ~
The wait is over as the 2026 National Football League (NFL) regular season kicked off yesterday with a blockbuster rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots – and if you’re looking for the perfect place in St. Maarten to catch all the action, it’s time to make your plans for Pineapple Pete.
Named Best Sports Bar in St. Maarten, Pineapple Pete is built for game day. With big-screen TVs, an energetic atmosphere, ice-cold beers and plenty of great food, it’s the kind of place where watching football becomes part of the experience. And week one is packed with reasons to get together.
After Wednesday night’s season opener, football continues into the weekend, including the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Australia tonight at 8:35, before a full Sunday slate brings the traditional football weekend to life. Then on Monday night, September 14, the Denver Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the first Monday Night Football game of the season.
At Pineapple Pete, you don’t have to choose between watching the game and having a great night out. Grab a table, order some chicken wings, fries, ribs, BBQ chicken or crab rangoon, and settle in with an ice-cold beer while the action unfolds on screen. Add in live music, a lively bar, great food and a family-friendly atmosphere, and Pineapple Pete is ready to make NFL season a weekly tradition.
And when the game gets you feeling competitive, head over to the gaming room, where you can challenge your friends at the pool tables, try the arcade games or step into the virtual reality gaming area for something completely different. The gaming and arcade spaces are among the biggest on the island, making Pineapple Pete as much about playing as it is about watching.
So, save the dates and make your reservations: September 13 and September 14. Make Pineapple Pete your home for NFL football this season – great games; great food; cold beers; live music; games and VR. They even have two private pool rooms available for booking your special events. Just remember there are plenty of reasons to say: “Let’s meet at Pineapple Pete!”
