Bojangles' 2025 Big Bo Box lineup positions the restaurant as a go-to solution for football tailgating with expanded team-themed offerings and catering partnerships.
The Southern fast-food chain's signature tailgate packages now include two new university partners — Virginia Tech and Liberty. These join an existing roster of collegiate and professional teams primarily concentrated in the Southeast. Each Big Bo Box contains the brand's hallmark fried chicken, which is available bone-in or as supremes. The meat is accompanied by sides, freshly baked biscuits, and Bojangles' renowned sweet tea.
Beyond the standard 2025 Big Bo Box lineup, Bojangles is collaborating with REVELXP to provide full-service tailgate solutions at select universities. The company emphasizes convenience through multiple ordering channels, including in-store, online, and mobile app purchases for pickup or delivery.
