Football fans throughout Sussex County now have another reason to make The Sussex Saloon their Sunday destination. Come in for NFL football, large-screen TVs, great food, cold drinks and seven pool tables — all in the heart of Sussex Borough, New Jersey.

Whether you’re rooting for the New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills or another NFL team, come spend football Sunday at The Sussex Saloon.

🏈 Watch NFL Sunday Ticket in Sussex County, New Jersey

NFL Sundays are better when you can get out of the house, meet up with friends, order some food and watch football in a real sports-bar atmosphere. That’s what we’re building at The Sussex Saloon.

We have added NFL Sunday Ticket to give football fans access to live out-of-market Sunday afternoon NFL games. Instead of being limited to whichever games happen to be on your television at home, you can come to The Sussex Saloon and follow NFL action from around the country.

We’re opening at 12 noon every Sunday, giving you time to arrive before the early games, grab your favorite seat, order lunch and get ready for kickoff.

📺 DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS + NFL Sunday Ticket

The Sussex Saloon uses DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS as part of our commitment to making the Saloon a destination for sports fans in Sussex County.

For the 2026 NFL season, DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS is working with EverPass Media to distribute NFL Sunday Ticket to commercial establishments such as bars and restaurants. NFL Sunday Ticket provides access to live out-of-market Sunday afternoon NFL games, making it possible for fans to follow teams from across the league.

That is especially important at a sports bar because not everyone in Sussex County roots for the same team. One table might be cheering for the Giants, another for the Jets, another for the Eagles and another might be following Dallas, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Miami, San Francisco or another team from across the country.

Our goal is simple: give Sussex County football fans a local place to meet, eat, drink, play pool and watch NFL football on Sundays.

🍔 More Than a Sports Bar — Come Hungry

Watching football is better with good food. The Sussex Saloon is a full-service restaurant, bar, billiard room and entertainment venue, so you don’t have to choose between going out for lunch and finding somewhere to watch the game.

Come in and enjoy selections including our Boro Bar Pies, burgers, wings, cheesesteaks, steaks (Try our Certified Angus Beef® Ny Strip Steak!) and more. Pair your meal with a cold beer, cocktail, soda or your favorite drink and settle in for an afternoon of football.

That makes The Sussex Saloon a great option whether you’re coming specifically to watch your favorite NFL team or you’re bringing a group where some people want football, some want food and others want to shoot pool.

🎱 Watch Football and Play Pool — 7 Pool Tables

One thing that separates The Sussex Saloon from a typical neighborhood sports bar is our billiard room. We have seven pool tables, giving you something to do before, during and after the games.

Shoot a few games of pool while keeping an eye on the football action, challenge your friends, grab some food and turn Sunday afternoon into more than simply sitting in front of a television.

If you’re searching for a pool hall and sports bar in Sussex County NJ, The Sussex Saloon combines both experiences under one roof.

📺 Large-Screen TVs for Sunday Football

Football was made for the big screen. The Sussex Saloon has large-screen televisions throughout the venue, including our big-screen viewing areas, so sports are an important part of the atmosphere.

NFL Sundays aren’t just about one game. They’re about checking scores, following multiple teams, watching big plays and spending the afternoon with other football fans. NFL Sunday Ticket helps us bring more of that Sunday football experience to Sussex Borough.

🏈 A Sussex County Sports Bar for Giants, Jets, Eagles & NFL Fans

Northern New Jersey has football fans representing teams from all over the NFL. You don’t have to root for the local team to feel at home here.

Are you a New York Giants fan? Come watch football with us. Rooting for the New York Jets? Come in for the game. An Philadelphia Eagles fan living in North Jersey? You’re welcome too.

We also welcome Cowboys fans, Steelers fans, Bills fans, Dolphins fans, Packers fans, 49ers fans, Patriots fans and fans of teams throughout the NFL.

That’s one of the biggest reasons we’re excited about NFL Sunday Ticket: football fans who follow an out-of-market team have a local place in Sussex County to come out and enjoy Sunday football.
