For the third year, No Lay's, No Game brings back beloved global icons—soccer stars Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suárez—and a brand-new ambassador, Alexia Putellas, who will embark on the world's first Lay's Crawl. This rewarding experience for fans will reward a lucky few with the chance to have their bar tab covered by soccer legends.
For the 2025 installment of No Lay's, No Game, the quest to find the right venue began with a simple ask: "Do you have Lay's?" To prevent fans from having to start the search from scratch, custom-built Lay's Lights will be installed at pubs worldwide. Some fans, in the right place at the right time, may be lucky enough to get their tab covered by celebrated soccer icons.
