Backyard Football ’99 makes its entry to mobile with updated visuals

First introduced in 1999, this fresh edition recaptures the allure of the original, enhanced by contemporary updates while maintaining its authenticity. In this game, you can assemble your ideal team of children, integrate iconic NFL figures, and reexperience the uncomplicated pleasure of a backyard football match.

Backyard Football ’99 presents two primary ways to enjoy the game: Single Match or Season Tournament. Unlike the Single Match where you just pick a team and start playing, the Season Tournament allows you to build your own squad, challenge 15 teams, and strive for the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl title.
