The page opens on the classic 75-ball layout, so you can print a set of bingo game cards (bingo cards 1-75) straight away.

How to make bingo cards

Making a bingo card means choosing the items for the squares and making sure no two cards match. A 5 × 5 card with a free space needs 24 different items, and a 4 × 4 card needs 16. The tool shuffles your items onto each card, and every card in a set is different. If your list is too short for the number of cards you request, the tool tells you how many different cards are possible. With exactly 24 items on a 5 × 5 card with a free space, only one different card can be made.

How to make bingo boards

“Bingo board” is used for two things: the player’s card itself, and the caller’s master board that shows every number. For player boards, make cards exactly as above: every board gets its own mix of squares, and the card number (game code plus position, such as K7Q2MX-1) tells boards apart. The same game code and settings always produce the same boards, so the link from Copy link rebuilds them later. For the caller’s board, print a call list from this page or a full call sheet from the bingo call sheets page.

How to play bingo

A caller draws numbers at random and announces each one with its column letter, such as “B 7”. Players look for each called number on their cards and mark it. The free space counts as marked from the start. The first player to complete the agreed pattern shouts “Bingo.” A printed call list with tick boxes helps the caller keep track of what has already been drawn.

Bingo rules

The winning pattern is agreed before the game starts. A row, column or diagonal is the usual choice, but the group may pick any shape. The free space counts as marked for every player, so it never needs to be called. Before the winner is announced, the caller checks each marked number against the list of called numbers. A card with a mark that was never called does not win, even if the pattern looks complete.

How to print bingo cards

Use the print options to choose 1, 2 or 4 cards per page. Four cards per page saves paper when you hand out a large set. To save the file as a PDF, select Save as PDF in the print dialog, and set the scale to 100%. Do not use “fit to page,” because that changes the size of the squares. At 100%, the cards print at full size, and the grid stays square and even.

What numbers are on a bingo card

On a 75-ball card, the five columns are headed B, I, N, G and O. B uses numbers from 1–15, I from 16–30, N from 31–45, G from 46–60 and O from 61–75. The N column has only four numbers because the centre square is the free space. On a Numbers 1–90 card, the columns cover 1–18, 19–36, 37–54, 55–72 and 73–90. For example, card 1 of game K7Q2MX has B 7, 6, 13, 1, 5 and O 66, 65, 75, 71, 62.

Frequently asked questions

Are these printable bingo cards free?

Yes. The generator is free and needs no sign-up. The cards are made in your web browser.

Are my cards uploaded anywhere?

No. Nothing is uploaded, because the cards are made on your own device.

How many different cards can I make?

You can make 1 to 500 cards in a set, and every card in the set is different. If your word list is too short for the number you choose, the tool tells you how many different cards are possible.

How many items do I need for a bingo card?

A 5 × 5 card with a free space needs 24 items, and a 4 × 4 card needs 16. A 3 × 3 card with a free space needs 8. Without a free space, you need one more item for each size.

What is the difference between 75-ball and 90-ball bingo cards?

A 75-ball card uses a 5 × 5 grid with the B, I, N, G and O columns and numbers 1–75. The Numbers 1–90 option on this page puts numbers 1–90 on the same 5 × 5 grid, in five columns of 18 numbers each. Traditional UK 90-ball bingo uses a different ticket of 3 rows and 9 columns; make those with the 90-ball bingo ticket generator.

How do I print bingo cards with the title and letters?

Type a title in the card title box and switch on the letters row. The letters row shows B-I-N-G-O on 5 × 5 cards, or the letters of your title when the title has one letter per column.

Can I save bingo cards as a PDF?

Yes. Choose Save as PDF as the printer in the print dialog, and set the scale to 100%.
