Free Printable Basketball Game Bingo Cards
Basketball moves fast, so this card rewards people who keep their eyes on the screen. Each square is something that happens on the court or in the arena. Mark it the moment you see it, and call bingo when you complete a row, column or diagonal.
How to play basketball game bingo
- Set the number of players, then press Print or save as PDF. Each player gets a different card.
- Call items in random order with the built-in caller, or use the printed call list.
- Players mark each called square. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"
Tip: A typical game covers most of these squares by the third quarter, so play for one line in the first half and a full card in the second. Fouling out and buzzer beaters are the rare squares, so they usually decide who fills a card first.

Questions and answers
Are the bingo cards really free?
Yes. You can print up to 10 unique cards per game at no cost, as often as you like, without creating an account. The optional Unlimited Pass is for larger groups.
How do I save the cards as a PDF?
Press "Print or save as PDF". In the print window choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. On a phone, use the share or print option in the preview that opens.
Is every card different?
Yes. Each card is shuffled separately from your list, so players cannot all win at the same time. The more items your list has beyond the number of squares, the more the cards differ.
Can I use my own words?
Yes. Replace the list with your own words or phrases, one per line. A 5×5 card with a free space needs at least 24 items, a 4×4 card needs 16 and a 3×3 card needs 8.
What paper should I use?
Normal printer paper works. Card stock lasts longer if you plan to reuse the cards. The layout fits both US Letter and A4.
