Rooneys Now Opens at 9 AM on Football Weekends in Woodinville

Football season is back, and so is the earliest alarm on our schedule: Rooneys now opens at 9 AM on Saturdays and Sundays so you can catch the morning kickoffs with a crowd instead of on your couch. That’s the plan all the way through the season — right into the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Why 9 AM

Most Sundays during football season, the first wave of NFL games kicks at 10 a.m. Pacific — that’s the 1 p.m. Eastern window, and it happens nearly every week no matter who the Seahawks are playing. Opening the doors at 9 gives you time to grab a seat, order breakfast, and settle in with a coffee or a Bloody Mary before the first snap. Saturdays get the same 9 AM open for the college slate and morning matches, so both weekend days are covered.

So the schedule for the season looks like this:

  • Saturday & Sunday: open 9 AM for the morning games, straight through to 2 AM
  • Monday–Friday: our usual 11 AM to 2 AM
  • Playoffs & the Super Bowl: we’re open early for those weekend games too

Start times shift a little week to week depending on the schedule, so if you’re planning around a specific early game, give us a call at (425) 481-3586 to confirm the day’s opening time.

Every game, now on two projector screens

We just added two projector screens to go with our 20 TVs, so there’s no bad seat in the house for kickoff — every one running DirecTV and Comcast. We show every Seahawks, Huskies, Cougs, Mariners and Kraken game, plus national primetime NFL. Check what’s on the big screen before you head over.

And game day still means the $11.50 hot dog, fries and a beer deal during every Hawks, Mariners and Kraken game.

Come for the morning, stay for the giveaway

Every Seahawks game this season, we’re giving away Seahawks gear. Ask your bartender about this week’s drawing and game day specials. We draw a winner right after the final whistle. Here’s how it works, and you can see this week’s winner on our home page.

The kitchen’s on when we open, so morning football at Rooneys comes with real breakfast, not a vending machine. Browse the full menu to plan your order.

So set the alarm, skip the couch, and come watch the morning games with the Woodinville crowd. Find us at 17626 140th Ave NE in the Woodinville Towne Center, with free parking in the lot.

Go Hawks. 💙💚
