Hot on the heels of its successful Burrito Vault game, Chipotle is running its \u201cInstant Freeplays\u201d promotion throughout the 2025 NBA Finals, which begins on Thursday, June 5. Per the NBA, the series could run through June 22, with the full game schedule below.

Each team is entitled to one Coach\u2019s Challenge per game and can use it to review a personal foul on one of its players, a goaltending violation, an out-of-bounds violation or a basket interference violation. Teams whose first Coach\u2019s Challenge is successful then get a second one. During the championship games, Chipotle will take to social media during each Coach&#8217;s Challenge and task fans with finding a hidden keyword in their post on X. The first 5,000 who do so and text the keyword to 888222 will score a free entr\u00e9e. \u201cHaving the game come to a halt and watching referees review a play over-and-over again is rarely enjoyable,\u201d Chipotle chief brand officer Chris Brandt said in a statement. \u201cWe want fans to have fun throughout the game, so we are offering a chance to score free Chipotle during Coach\u2019s Challenge reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Fine Print<\/h2>\n<p>Free entr\u00e9e codes are valid on any regularly priced entr\u00e9e and will expire five days after delivery of the code. The offer is only valid in the U.S. for customers ages 13+ and standard text and data rates may apply.
