According to National Day Calendar, National Football Hangover Day was established in 2019 by National Day Calendar and ESPN host and sports personality Katie Nolan. Every year since 1967, football fans have participated in the most-watched football event in America, where friends gather together to celebrate, place friendly wagers, and indulge in food and drink, some in more excess than others. Its estimated that nearly 14 million people call into work "sick" the day after the Super Bowl.

Are You Nursing a Hangover on This Monday?

The Big Game was Sunday, and not a very good game according to the vast majority of people, with the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Running back Kenneth Walker III was named MVP, rushing for 135 yards, while kicker Jason Myers set a record with five field goals to secure Seattle's second championship. 

There were definitely  many parties all over the Hudson Valley area with plenty of drinking and eating going on. Nobody wants to go to work the next day following the Super Bowl, but many don't have a choice. Its crazy to think of how many people actually call out of work sick on Monday. Hopefully the football action and highly anticipated commercials, along with the Bad Bunny half time show on Sunday was worth it. Are you working on this Monday with a hangover? Well if you are, just know you are not alone.
