2026 Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds & Color of Every Past Gatorade Bath

Among the thousands of Super Bowl props that sportsbooks open each year, there are a few consistently popular ones year after year. One of those is the color of Gatorade dumped on the winning coach after the game ends, or the Gatorade bath, if you will. Many sportsbooks offered Gatorade color odds for last year’s Super Bowl, and they will again once the Super Bowl 60 matchup is set.

(Yes, you really can bet on the color of Gatorade dumped on the winning coach at the Super Bowl.)

Super Bowl 2026 will take place Sunday, February 8 in Santa Clara, California. You can see what colors each Super Bowl-winning coach was doused with, and check out the Gatorade odds from last year as we wait for the Super Bowl 60 Gatorade color odds.

Super Bowl 60 Gatorade Color Odds

Once the matchup is set for Super Bowl 60, we will see Gatorade color odds open. After last year’s result, bettors may want to pay closer attention to the conference championships, as the Eagles dumped yellow Gatorade on head coach Nick Sirianni when they won the NFC Championship, and then dumped that same color on him after winning the Super Bowl.

If you want to see last year’s odds while we wait, you can find them in the table below.

The Gatorade color in Super Bowl 59 was yellow. The Eagles got Nick Sirriani pretty early, as the game was a blowout, and it was in fact the same yellow they dumped in the NFC Championship.

Hopefully more states allow betting on the Super Bowl Gatorade bath, as it’s only DC, Illinois, West Virginia, and Wyoming (as well as Ontario, Canada) that allowed it for last year’s Super Bowl.

If you don’t reside in one of DC, IL, NJ, WV, WY, or Ontario (Canada), you cannot bet on the Gatorade color at sportsbooks. You can, however, use Kalshi to trade, which is similar to sports betting, just without the book and different pricing. Kalshi was not able to get a Gatorade color market open for last year’s Super Bowl, but with plenty of time to prepare for Super Bowl 60, I suspect they will open this prop for trading. (And if you’re into novelty props, Kalshi is the place for trading on current events.)

Odds for the Super Bowl Gatorade color prop came out on January 28, which was just a couple days after the conference championships, allowing for plenty of time to bet this market.

58 Kansas City Chiefs Purple Andy Reid
59 Philadelphia Eagles Yellow Nick Sirianni

The Gatorade dumped on Nick Sirianni in the Eagles Super Bowl 59 victory was yellow, which was the same color they dumped on him in the NFC Championship.

When you see “clear” in the table above, it generally means water. But the prop is not what type/flavor of Gatorade, just the color. This is why water gets lumped in as “clear”.

Super Bowl Gatorade Color Trends

  • The Gatorade dumped on the Super Bowl-winning coach has been orange in five of the last 16 years
  • Blue has been a popular Gatorade color to be dumped lately as well, with two of the last five winning coaches having blue Gatorade dumped on them, and three of the last seven
  • Clear holds the record for most consecutive years being dumped on a winning coach, happening in four straight years on two different occasions – Super Bowls 27-30 and 39-42
  • Red is the most common color of Gatorade that has never been dumped on a winning coach
  • There have been four back-to-back champions in the Gatorade dumping era, with only two of those defending champions using the same color Gatorade in both games – the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowls 27 and 28 & Chiefs in Super Bowls 57 and 58
  • Clear is also suffering the longest drought among Gatorade colors that have been dumped before, not having been used since Super Bowl 42

You can see how often each color has been used in the table below:

Super Bowl Gatorade Color Stats

Color Number of Times Dumped Most Recent Use
Clear 8 Super Bowl 42
Orange 6 Super Bowl 54
Blue 4 Super Bowl 56
Purple 4 Super Bowl 58
Yellow 4 Super Bowl 59

As mentioned earlier, “clear” has been the color of liquid dumped on the Super Bowl-winning coach most often. It has been seen eight times in total. Orange is the second-most frequent used Gatorade color, having been dumped on the winning coach six times.

Am I the only one who feels the only logical answer for blue not being used more is because it’s everyone’s favorite, and therefore the first cooler that runs dry?

Which States Can Bet on Super Bowl Gatorade Color?

You must reside in one of the following states in order to bet on the Super Bowl Gatorade Color:

  • DC
  • Illinois
  • Louisiana
  • New Jersey
  • Ontario (Canada)
  • West Virginia
  • Wyoming

Arizona and Maryland used to allow betting on the Gatorade bath color for the Super Bowl, but have changed their rules and do not allow it anymore, unfortunately.

That’s just sportsbooks, though! Thankfully, event trading platforms have begun trading on sports futures as well, and it there is potential Kalshi, which is legal in all 50 states, will offer a Gatorade bath market ahead of Sunday. This will be great news for all folks looking for some action, as they will have a legal outlet to trade on one of the more fun Super Bowl novelty props: what color will the Gatorade be that’s dumped on the Super Bowl-winning coach?

How Did the Gatorade Shower Start?

The answer to this depends on who you ask. But it is commonly accepted that the New York Giants started this tradition in 1984. Jim Burt, a defensive lineman for the Giants at the time, was apparently upset with the way head coach Bill Parcells had treated him that week, and decided to dump the cooler of Gatorade on Parcells after beating Washington.

It didn’t immediately become a tradition, though. It wasn’t until those same Giants gave Parcells a Gatorade bath after each win during their 1986-87 season that ended in New York hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. This is the first entry you’ll see in the table at the top of this page.
