Buffalo Bills, every kickoff, in your pocket. MafiaKickoff is rebuilt from the ground up for the 2026 season — live countdowns, full live game tracking, AFC East standings, the Bills Mafia sound board. WHAT'S IN THE APP Countdown to Kickoff Every Bills game on the schedule with a live countdown to the second, broadcast network, and game-day glow. Past games show the final score and a clear W/L marker so you can scan the whole season at a glance. Live Game Tracking Tap any game for the full picture — scoring summary play-by-play, the quarter-by-quarter score, QB matchup, top performers in pass / rush / rec / defense, team stats, odds, injuries, venue, and broadcast info. Updates live during the game. AFC East Standings Bills' division on top, your row highlighted, with W-L-T, points for / against, point differential, and current streak. The rest of the AFC and NFC are right below. Bills Mafia Sound Board Train horn, Shout, classic chants — all served fresh from the cloud so new sounds reach you without waiting for an app update. WGR 550 Live Radio Tap once during any Bills game and the flagship Audacy broadcast plays right in the app. Pauses cleanly when you need it, comes right back. Smart Reminders Pick exactly when you want pinged before kickoff — 2 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, any combination. Reminders survive device reboots and refresh in the background every 12 hours, so a flex schedule change never catches you off guard. DESIGNED FOR BILLS MAFIA Painted head-to-toe in Bills royal navy with red used sparingly as a small accent — no glaring surfaces, no eye-tiring text colors. Calm enough to scan all season, loud enough to feel like a Bills app. Light and dark mode both fully supported. OFFLINE-FRIENDLY The full schedule caches locally so you can browse upcoming and past games without a connection. Live data flows back in the moment you're online again. GO BILLS Built by Bills fans, for Bills fans. Got an idea, a bug, or a sound you want on the board? There's a feedback form right in Settings — we read everything. GoBills!
