From pool season to football season!

By Emma Peterson.

Celebrate a summer of hard work with your crew at one of Heritage Pool Supply Group’s free XTV tailgate parties.

Looking for something to do now that we’ve entered the off-season and outdoor jobs are slowing down? This is a great time for your team to kick back together, enjoy a game and celebrate a season of hard work. And Heritage Pool Supply Group is helping you do just that!

Earlier this year, the Heritage Pool Supply Group’s XTV team hit the road for the 2026 Football Tour! On this tour, they have been hosting tailgates and watch-parties in each of the cities they’re stopping in and, no matter who your team is, you’re invited. And the best part? It’s all free!

This is a great way for you to enjoy some great food, cold drinks and some unforgettable moments of bonding with your industry peers. As XTV team member Scott Kennedy put it, “I joined the XTV team in August of 2024 and have had the time of my life providing this experience for our people. Make money, have fun, give back...our team embodies that motto.”

The XTV team has already hosted five tailgates during this tour:

• Sunday, September 13, 2026: the 2026 XTV tour kicked off with the Sunday night football game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-24 game was a nailbiter, and the XTV party was a great way to balance the tension!
• Sunday, September 20, 2026: the following week, the team caught the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens game! The week two game went to the Saints, and the second XTV party was one for the books.
• Saturday, September 26, 2026: next week saw a break from NFL games for some classic college ball! The party was a blowout, as was the game which saw the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs beat the Oklahoma Sooners 41-13.
• Sunday, October 11, 2026: after that, the XTV team found themselves hosting a pre-game tailgate for the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots game! And in what can only feel a bit like deja-vu, the Patriots won in a 45-17 game.
• Thursday, October 22, 2026: most recently, the XTV team caught another Patriots game, this time the Thursday night competition against the Cleveland Browns. In the game, the Brown’s offense racked up an impressive 37 points compared to the Patriots’ 13.

And the tour is far from over; there’s still six parties on the schedule:

• Sunday, November 1, 2026: The XTV team will be hosting a tailgate before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos.
• Saturday, November 7, 2026: then, on November 7, the XTV team will be watching two big ten teams go head-to-head – the Ohio Buckeyes will be hosting Oregon Ducks!
• Sunday, November 29, 2026: the following week, they’ll be watching C.J. Stroud (#7) and the Houston Texans offense take on the Baltimore Raven’s rank 11 defense.
• Sunday, December 13, 2026: from there, they’ll turn their sights on California for a division game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers.
• Thursday, December 17, 2026: and just four days later, they’ll watch the 49ers hit the field again, this time against another LA team – this time the Chargers!
• Sunday, January 3, 2026: as for the last stop of the tour, they'll watch the Rams take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!
