The quick answers
Husky Tailgate FAQ
A few details for hosts and guests who want to know what happens next.
Is Husky Tailgate really free?
Yep. It's free through the final game of Washington's 2026 football season for people running their own Husky tailgates and their guests.
No credit card required.
Why is it invite-only?
This is a small, free service for real Husky tailgates. Keeping hosts invite-only helps keep out spam and gives me a chance to help new hosts get set up while the service is still growing.
You don't need to know me. If you run a Husky tailgate, just send a note.
How do I become a host?
Email contact@huskytailgate.com with your name and a sentence or two about your tailgate.
I usually get new hosts set up within a day.
I'm just a guest. What do I do?
Your tailgate host will send you an invitation link. Use that link to join the first time. Once you're in, use Open my tailgate to get back to the game-day plan.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Husky Tailgate works from your phone's browser.
What happens to my information?
We use your information to operate Husky Tailgate and the features you choose to use. Tailgate information is not intended to be publicly searchable through Husky Tailgate, and we do not use your information for targeted advertising.
The full details—including what hosts and other participants can see—are in the Privacy Policy.
Is Husky Tailgate affiliated with UW?
No. Husky Tailgate is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Washington.
Will Husky Tailgate always be free?
Husky Tailgate is free through the final game of Washington's 2026 football season.
We have not decided what comes after that season yet. If anything changes in the future, hosts will know well ahead of time.
Can more than one person run our tailgate?
Yes. One crew can have an owner and additional hosts, so everyone helps run the same tailgate instead of creating separate copies. Mention any co-hosts when you get in touch and I can add them to the crew.
I found a bug or have an idea.
