TGI Fridays Offering Free Wings For Busted Brackets Throughout March Madness

As basketball fans ready their brackets ahead of March Madness, TGI Fridays announced it will offer free wings as a consolation prize for every fan with a busted bracket.

All day, every day throughout the NCAA tournament, from tip-off on March 19 to the championship on April 8, fans can show their busted brackets at participating TGI Fridays restaurants to receive six free boneless wings with their choice of sauce alongside any food or beverage purchase.

We’re all about bringing the power of Fridays to all of life’s moments — and especially to those moments where our Guests could use some extra excitement to turn their day around. By swapping losing brackets for a winning deal, we’re keeping the energy of That Fridays Feeling ignited through all the ups, downs, and inevitable upsets of the tournament, Weldon Spangler, CEO of TGI Fridays, said in a statement. We know our Guests see Fridays as their go-to spot to watch those can’t-miss games, so we’re bringing even more value to the table to ensure their game day experiences are a total slam dunk.

The restaurant is also offering 50-cent wings on men’s and women’s game days throughout the NCAA tournaments. Guests can choose between traditional or boneless wings, with their choice of classic sauces including Whiskey-Glaze, Frank’s RedHot Buffalo, Apple Butter BBQ, Nashville Hot, and Garlic Parmesan.

TGI Fridays also revamped its happy hour offerings, with a $5 menu that includes cocktails like Fridays’ Original Long Island Tea, Classic Margarita, and Hawaiian Mai Tai; spirits like Tito’s and Jack Daniel’s for creating your own cocktails; and craft beers like Blue Moon Belgian White and Sam Adams Seasonal. The $5 Happy Hour at participating locations runs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to close.
