EAST HANOVER, NJ — For the second time in a row and following its 2025 debut, RITZ is joining the Super Bowl festivities.

Mondelez International’s cracker brand is returning to the Big Game in 2026 with a 30-second ad and a brand-new, limited-edition product launch featuring football-shaped crackers.

“For over 90 years, the RITZ brand has brought connection to family tables,” said Steven Saenen, category president, savory snacking at Mondelez International. “Although we’re immensely proud of this legacy, we’re equally committed to delivering on cultural impact and relevancy for this iconic brand.”

The brand’s 2025 ad spot, its first in the Big Game commercial space, invited consumers to the “RITZ Salty Club,” a lounge located in Utah’s salt flats that hosts “salty” personalities from pop culture figures. The upcoming ad — created by The Martin Agency, directed by Dan Opsal, and produced by Hungry Man and PXP — will showcase another side of the brand’s personality.

“Returning to one of the world’s biggest advertising stages allows us to make a bold statement about what’s next,” Saenen said. “We introduced the world to the RITZ Salty Club in 2025 and, in 2026, our salty Big Game commercial will set the play for more game-changing things to come from the RITZ Brand.”

Consumers can watch the ad during the game’s third quarter and find the specially made crackers at retailers nationwide for a limited time starting Dec. 1.
