Our Retro Bowl Unblocked guide is all you need to dive into some glorious 8-bit sporting action. However, while we’re on hand to offer advice about safe ways to play it, we must point out that searching for unblocked versions of games can be unnecessary, especially as it can come with an element of risk that we simply can’t recommend you ignore. Fortunately, not all versions of Retro Bowl Unblocked require a suspicious download.

We can understand wanting to get in on the action, as we gave the game a score of 8/10 in our Retro Bowl review – that is for the original version, not the unblocked variant. We also have a list of football games (soccer games) on Switch and mobile that don’t involve visiting questionable websites. Or, if football isn’t the sport for you, we also have lists of the best wrestling games, baseball games, and basketball games.
