Big Game Football Factory has been manufacturing premium personalized display and official handcrafted leather on-field game footballs for over 30 years. We are the largest American-owned football factory. From youth leagues to the collegiate and professional levels, our footballs have most likely been thrown either in front of you or on your TV without you even knowing it! Today, no company makes more FBS college game balls than we at Big Game Football Factory do. Located in Texas, we are American-made for an American-made sport. 

Who is Big Game Football Factory? 

Our founder, Chris Calandro, wanted to create a keepsake football for his coaches to commemorate his high school state championship. Only wanting to make six footballs, Chris went to several high-profile football manufacturers, who ultimately turned him down due to his low order quantity. Motivated by this rejection, Chris started his own football production process, producing commemorative display and quality footballs, launching the on-field football business that Big Game is today. In addition to our official game balls, we still create custom handcrafted balls for teams, booster clubs, corporations, and individuals with no minimums.

Today, Big Game Football Factory is partnered with Nike and Adidas and has created its own brand, Team Issue. We hand-make around 1,000 footballs daily and send them directly to youth, high school, collegiate, and professional teams nationwide, as well as to consumers and corporations. No one in the world makes more FBS footballs than Big Game Football Factory does. 

Who Throws Big Game?

From youth leagues and high schools, to the collegiate and professional levels, our footballs are being thrown by players nationwide. In partnering with over 3,000 high schools, the coaches and players trust us to provide them with exceptional service and game balls. Not only are we the sole provider of UFL game balls, but the vast majority of FBS college football teams across the country are partnered with Big Game Football Factory—and that number continues to grow yearly. 118 out of 130 FBS teams throw our game balls, and 12 out of the last 13 National Champions and Heisman trophy winners have thrown footballs made by Big Game. Below is a comprehensive list of every team that plays with official game footballs produced by Big Game.
