March Madness 2026 deals: Free food from TGI Fridays, Buffalo Wild Wings, Grubhub, and more

We really can’t think of a better time to find free food deals.

First we found a variety of Pi Day food deals, then came the St. Patrick’s Day deals. Patrick, and now we have plenty of March Madness deals to consider. These deals are live for every major NCAA Division I tournament, so even if your bracket is completely blown, you can at least score a free or deeply discounted meal. In fact, some deals actually require a molded bracket.

We checked out all the offerings from the likes of TGI Fridays, Buffalo Wild Wings, Grubhub, and more. Check out our favorite deals below.
