I bid you seasons greetings and a happy cuffing season to those who celebrate! The pressure for couples to show off their relationship by wearing something cute, but also cool, but also memorable enough to make that future wedding slideshow seems to grow every year. When you’re in a love bubble it’s natural to want to dress up as something lovey-dovey, like Romeo and Juliet or Taylor and Garrett from Love Is Blind. But speaking for the singles at the party, in the words of Valerie Cherish, “I don’t wanna see that!” With that genius in mind, I’ve worked overtime to dream up some outside-the-box costumes for all the sports fans in the building.
If you’re a sporty Betch, I’m so sure these options are the stuff your sports meets pop culture-riddled dreams are made of. If you’re a betch who doesn’t GAF about ball games but you want your boyfriend to actually enjoy dressing up, making your costume related to sports should certainly help. When you inevitably get a million compliments at the function, send me a virtual cheers will you? Let’s dive into a list of sports-themed couples’ costume ideas for 2024.
Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift
Yes, I was legally bound to include these two on this list. If you love Tayvis, you can show your fandom loud and proud in a Chiefs jersey and a mini-dress that looks like it was dug from the trenches of a Charlotte Russe landfill full of clothes from 2012. Don’t forget a stache or the trademark friendship bracelets which could make a pretty cute couple’s memento if you two crazy kids go the distance.
Sebastian And Duke From She’s The Man
Amanda Bynes changed the course of pop culture history by dressing up like her prep school twin named Sebastian and I’d personally like to thank her for her service. You can do the same by pairing up with a pal as Sebastian and Channing Tatum’s Duke. If you can get your hands on two soccer jerseys, a little tape, and a sharpie, voila, custom Illyria kits!
Olympic Shooters
Pretty sure the entire world fell in love with both the Turkish zaddy Yusuf Dikec and the South Korean baddie Kim Yeji during the 2024 Olympics, right? So go ahead and make everyone at the bar fall in love with what a cool couple you are by dressing as the two Olympic sharpshooters who stole the show.
Raygun And Pommel Horse Guy
If you and your lover are quirky AF, this is the sports costume for you. We have already the perfect premade Australian breaking-dancing team uniform linked for you here. To dress up like US Men’s gymnastics star, Stephen Nedoroscik, all you’ll need is some red sweatpants, matching socks, and a red, white, and blue leotard.
Lebron James And Bronny Jr.
Using this father/son duo for a couple’s costume is only weird if you make it weird, okay?! For the lazy folks who are willing to drop bags to phone it in, copping two fresh Lakers jerseys (if you’re a real fan you already own one of them) is a major Halloween hack. Plus if one of the devil’s hardworking advocates asks, “Isn’t he your dad, then?” just correct him with the hard truth that he’s your daddy.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
Queer fems this is your moment! Show off that bod with your GF in matching cheerleader uniforms. You might be a safety hazard to straight men everywhere, but that’s not really your problem. I know you’ve been meaning to get more cost per wear out of those cowboy boots, anyway.
Bill Belichick And His Girlfriend
Pats fans, I am presenting you the opportunity to do something so funny. If 72-year-old Patriots coach Belichick is allowed to have a 24-year-old girlfriend, you can certainly dress up as them for a little giggle. This costume will not be complete without adding spray paint grey hair and elderly makeup on whichever end of your couple plays Belichick.
Troy And Gabriella From High School Musical

Does this really count as a sports costume? I say yes! We all wanted to be a Wildcat in middle school so make that dream come true this Hallow’s Eve. For all the artsy girlfriends whose idea of “March Madness” is a really niche baking recipe, this one’s for you.
