Throw A Football
Throw A Football Events Schedule: Halloween Countdown and What’s Next
Throw A Football is Albie’s Arcade’s quarterback game on Roblox, where the goal is to time the power bar for perfect spirals, collect a deck of player cards, and work up through its leagues. As of October 22, it is drawing about about 1,700 players at once, with about 7,600,000 lifetime visits and about 29,000 favorites.
The next thing on the calendar is the game’s Halloween update, which the developer has scheduled to go live on October 23 and keep running into early November. It arrives on the back of a busy few weeks: a large content update in mid-October and a player-versus-player launch the week before that.
This page covers what is scheduled and what just wrapped, and we update it as the developer announces new events. Exact start and end times are listed in the schedule here.

Current and upcoming events
Halloween update
The headline item right now is the Halloween update, which the developer has flagged as a big round of changes. It is set to run from October 23 through November 6 — that start lands at 3 p.m. ET on October 23 (noon PT, 8 p.m. BST), and the window closes at 3 p.m. ET on November 6. Sign-ups are already open for players who want a heads-up when it goes live. More than about 1,600 players have registered interest so far, a smaller crowd than the game’s two most recent updates pulled, which is normal for an event that has not started yet. Beyond the Halloween theme and the promise of major changes, the specifics have not been detailed.
Recently wrapped updates
The most recent drop before Halloween was a large content update that ran October 16 to 19 and pulled a strong turnout, with over about 3,400 interested players. It added running backs as a new collectible position — dozens of cards plus fresh bundles — and brought them into the 9-on-9 Drive Duel mode with real run plays, blocking and kick returns. It also introduced special-encounter minigames that unlock every fifth league game for bonus payouts, two dozen new defensive cards with extra lineup slots, and an expanded Drive Duel playbook, alongside a round of bug fixes.
That run of updates kicked off with a player-versus-player feature that ran October 9 to 12. It drew the highest interest of the recent batch, with over about 4,600 sign-ups. Taken together, those three drops — October 9, 16 and 23 — landed about a week apart, which points to a roughly weekly update rhythm running into the Halloween window.
