Jared Lee from sports betting site LetMeBet.com predicts this year’s hottest sports themed Halloween costumes inspired by the most memorable moments from 2025 so far.  

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders 

With the recent June release of Netflix’s second season of the popular America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, we can anticipate many costumes replicating the popular cheerleading group, especially as the phrase ‘Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader costume’ has increased by 430% since June to September. This look is easy to recreate with white hotpants, a cropped, long sleeve blue shirt and decorated with stars.

Caitlin Clark

WNBA star, Caitlin Clark is also set to inspire Halloween costumes among sports fans this year. The player makes the headlines on a regular basis and a costume will only comprise of the Indiana Fever outfit that is available online to replicate the Caitlin Clark look easily.

Happy Gilmore 

Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore is one of the most popular men’s Halloween costumes inspired by sports that we can expect to see this Halloween. Netflix released the long-awaited sequel, Happy Gilmore 2 that reignited interest in the classic golf film, sparking an incredible 4,200% increase in Pinterest searches searches for ‘Happy Gilmore costume’ in the US. Large baggy pants and a Boston ice-hockey jersey make the ideal, minimal-effort costume, perfect for those obsessed with the movies. 

Ted Lasso

Despite ending in 2023, but with an announcement in March 2025 that it would come back for a fourth season, Ted Lasso still continues to dominate sports popular culture, so we can anticipate many costumes inspired by the team behind A.F.C Richmond. Ted’s look can easily be replicated with smart pants, a fake mustache and a Nike sweater vest. 

Kansas City Chiefs

Arguably one of the biggest and most-talked about NFL teams of 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs look is set to be everywhere this Halloween. Despite losing the Super Bowl to the Eagles, due to the romance between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, many are likely to choose the Chiefs above any other team to dress as. 

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift (for couples)

Taylor and Travis will undoubtedly be one of the most popular couples costumes this Halloween. The recent engagement of the pair set the internet alight, so much so that searches for ‘Travis Kelce costume’ have increased 900% worldwide in the week following the engagement, indicating that the announcement likely inspired many to choose the couple as their costume. This couple’s costume might be one of the most straight-forward costumes to create, with whoever is dressing as Travis needing his signature 87 Kansas City Chiefs jersey, and whoever is dressing as Taylor needing a sparkling bodysuit.
