There are dozens of Flash- and Shockwave-based football games available for free on the Internet. While the best strategy for finding these games online might be to simply do a web search, there are several websites that offer free games to visitors.

    Sports News Websites

  1. The most obvious of these is www.ESPN.com, which offers an arcade of games, including two football games: QB Assault and Speed Back. QB Assault is based off the arcade game where you throw footballs through holes to move a virtual team down field to score in a set amount of time. Speed Back is a game where you get three attempts to move your running back down field and into the endzone without getting tackled. The site www.SIKids.com offers four games. The site offers Air Attack, Clutch QB, Crunchball 3000, Football Frenzy and Dancing Referee.
  2. Company Ad Sites

  3. One resource for online games is www.NabiscoWorld.com. The Nabisco company has its own game website made for kids and adults. The site is product placement advertisement, as all of Nabisco's products are promoted in the games. The site has a myriad of games available and covers several different sports. For football alone, NabiscoWorld offers the following games: Two-minute drill, Downfield Strike, QB Shootout and Field Goal Challenge.
  4. Gaming Websites

  5. There are many websites on the Internet that have you sign up for an account to play an assortment of games. But this is where it gets tricky. For example, some sites offer free accounts, some sites offer free accounts with the option to upgrade to a paying account, and some sites offer free accounts but you have to be a certain age to play and must verify your age with a credit card. Most of these sites have sports-themed games, including football games.

    EA Sports' Pogo.com offers a few football games. Pogo allows you to sign up for a free account, but you can upgrade to a pay account if you choose. For free, Pogo.com offers the All-Star Football Challenge game which is similar to the Madden series on a video game console, except stripped down to basics for Internet play. They also have All-Star Football, which allows you to manage a team and select plays while watching the action unfold. To test your skills, Pogo offers Perfect Passer, which tracks your precision passing.
