Pepsi Night Series 2026: 6 Big Games & Prizes

Our Pepsi Night Series Is Back:
6 Big Games, Big Prizes &
Hometown Pride!

Friday night lights, roaring crowds, marching bands, school colors and hometown pride—high school football season is back in Mississippi, and we are ready for it!

As a Mississippi Pepsi franchise distributor, Brown Bottling Group is proud to host our Pepsi Night Series for the schools and communities we serve. This season, we are bringing Pepsi prizes, giveaways, swag and even more game-night excitement to six high school football matchups across Central Mississippi.

Our goal is simple: celebrate our local schools, bring fans together and help make an already exciting football tradition even more memorable.

High school football is about much more than the final score. It is about students representing their schools, families filling the stands, bands bringing the energy and entire communities coming together under the lights. We are excited to be part of those moments again this season.

Big Pepsi Night Prizes at Every Game

We are taking the game-night experience to the next level with a text-to-enter giveaway at every Pepsi Night.

Fans will have an opportunity to enter while attending the game. Look for Pepsi Night signs around the stadium and listen for announcements with the official text-to-enter instructions.

One lucky winner will be announced during halftime and will leave the game with a prize package that includes:

  • A 55-inch smart TV
  • A cornhole set
  • A Weber dome grill
  • A 32-quart cooler

That’s right—the winner at each game will leave with the TV, cornhole set, grill and cooler!

Imagine watching the next big game on your new smart TV, firing up the grill and challenging your friends to a round of cornhole. It is a complete game-day package, and we cannot wait to send it home with one lucky fan during each stop in our Pepsi Night Series.

Arrive Early for More Pepsi Fun

The halftime prize package is not the only reason to arrive early.

We will also have additional goodies available at the entrance while supplies last, along with more Pepsi swag for fans to enjoy throughout the evening.

Get there early, find your seats, grab any available giveaways and get ready to make some noise for your team. Once the stands begin filling and the bands start playing, you will know it is officially Pepsi Night!

The prizes and swag bring extra fun to the stadium, but the students, schools and communities will always be the real stars of the night.

Celebrating Everyone Who Makes Friday Night Special

Football players may take the field, but it takes an entire school community to create the Friday night experience we all love.

It is the marching band filling the stadium with music. It is the cheerleaders and dance teams keeping the crowd energized. It is the student section showing up in school colors and making sure everyone can hear them.

It is also the coaches, teachers, athletic trainers, administrators, volunteers and parents who put in countless hours before anyone walks through the stadium gates.

When we host our Pepsi Night Series, we are celebrating all of them.

We are also celebrating the families who rarely miss a game, the alumni who return to support their schools and the younger children watching from the stands who may dream of playing, performing or cheering for their school one day.

Every person in the stadium contributes to the excitement, pride and sense of community that makes Mississippi high school football so special.

Supporting Local Schools Is Part of Who We Are

As a local Pepsi franchise distributor, Brown Bottling Group does much more than deliver the beverages people know and enjoy. We are part of the communities we serve.

Our team members live here, work here, raise their families here and attend many of the same school programs, football games and community events as our customers. When we support local schools, we are supporting our neighbors, our families and the future of our Mississippi communities.

That commitment did not begin with our Pepsi Night Series.

For more than 40 years, Brown Bottling Group has participated in adopt-a-school partnerships and educational initiatives connecting our team members with Mississippi students and educators.

Our company also supports local schools, charitable organizations, community programs and events that bring people together throughout the year. You can learn more about our ongoing commitment to the communities we serve on our website.

For us, supporting schools should mean more than placing a logo on a sign. It means showing up, building relationships and creating positive experiences for the students and families who make each community special.

Our Pepsi Night Series gives us another opportunity to do exactly that.

Rivalries Bring Us Together

Each matchup on this year’s schedule will have its own traditions, rivalries and game-night personality.

Brandon and Madison Central will kick off our series on September 4. Pearl will appear twice, first against Clinton and later against Oak Grove. Northwest Rankin will welcome Brookhaven, Hartfield will face Jackson Prep and MRA will take on Jackson Academy.

Fans on opposite sides of the stadium may be cheering for different teams, but they share something important: a commitment to supporting their students and schools.

That shared support is what makes these nights matter.

Crowded stands create an atmosphere students can feel. Families reconnect with friends and neighbors. Alumni return to campus. Local traditions continue because each generation chooses to participate in them.

We are proud that our Pepsi Night Series can add even more excitement to those community traditions.

Join Us for Our Pepsi Night Series

Bring your family. Invite your friends. Wear your school colors and get ready to cheer!

Arrive early for available giveaways, look for the text-to-enter instructions and listen for the halftime prize announcement. Most importantly, help us fill the stands and show these students that their communities are behind them.

We will bring the Pepsi, prizes and swag.
