BOX has launched a brand new lookalike competition where football fans can win free pints and bar tabs during the Euros this summer.
The popular chain of sports bars has several locations all over the UK and is sure to be packed for Euro 2024. It also turns out the brand is hoping to fill its various venues with some of the best football lookalikes possible as part of a fun new giveaway.
It does exactly what it says on the tin: those fortunate enough to bear a resemblance to famous footballers be handed free pints throughout the tournament.
There’s even the chance for the most impressive footballing doppelgänger to win a table of six plus a whopping £250 at your BOX site of choice for the Euro 2024 final on Sunday, 14 July. Say no more, we’re booking a trim from Jack Grealish’s barber and squeezing in a quick leg day.
Entry terms are simple: to join you simply need to submit a photo of yourself, a friend or a family member who you believe looks similar to a well-known footballer.
To take part, just tag @theboxbaruk in your Instagram story with your lookalike image using the hashtag #BOXDOPPLEGANGER, then send a direct message containing your entry.
Probably the best part about all of this is that you get a free pint just for taking part. Anywhere offering free pints whilst the footy’s on gets man of the match from us.
The fun doesn’t stop there though: a weekly Euros-themed quiz every Wednesday at the local BOX in Headingley to test fans’ knowledge; their famous ‘Bandeoke’ is on every Thursday, as well as live bands and DJs on Fridays and Saturdays to guarantee the party continues long after full-time.
Fans can also treat themselves to a number of European-inspired delights with a limited-edition food and drink menu, featuring Currywurst Loaded Fries, Bavarian Burgers and the ‘Olympian’ pizza. Plus, you can get two-pint beer steins, mini-kegs and a host of other Euros-themed drinks.

Laura Lewis, Marketing Director at ARC Inspirations, commented: “We’re excited for EURO 2024 to kick off a huge summer of sport at BOX. This competition is the perfect start, and we can’t wait to see all the entrants and crown the overall winner. We’re looking forward to welcoming fans at our venues and hopefully celebrating a successful summer for the England team!”
“The football is just the tip of the iceberg. We will be showing all the major sporting events, like the Cricket T20 World Cup, Wimbledon, and the Olympics. We can’t wait to see our venues filled with fans having a great time and watching their favourite sports. Not only is BOX the ultimate bar to watch, it’s also the ultimate venue to play and party this summer.”
