The Best Bars to Watch the World Cup 2026 in New York

MetLife Stadium hosts eight World Cup matches this summer. Here's where New York's soccer faithful will be watching the rest of them.

The Best Bars in Guadalajara to Watch the World Cup

Guadalajara is not Mexico's capital. It is Mexico's football city. The World Cup's second Mexican venue is in a place that has never needed an excuse to care about the sport.

The Best Bars in Monterrey to Watch the World Cup

Mexico's industrial capital watches football the way it does everything else: intensely, loudly, and with the Sierra Madre as a backdrop.

The Best Bars in Paris to Watch the World Cup

France are the tournament's co-favorites. Paris does not have sports bars. What it has is 12,000 cafés, a fan zone on the Seine, and neighborhoods where every diaspora community has its own national team.

The Best Bars in Buenos Aires to Watch the World Cup

Argentina are the defending champions. Buenos Aires does not watch the World Cup in bars. It watches the World Cup in the streets. The bars are for everything else.

The Best Bars in Mexico City to Watch the World Cup

The Azteca hosts the opening match on June 11 — the third time it has opened a World Cup. Mexico City does not need a stadium to watch football. Every cantina is a venue. Every corner is a screen.

The Best Bars in London to Watch the World Cup

Five hundred pubs will show the World Cup this summer. England play all three group matches at night. These are the ones worth crossing London for.

The Best Bars in Miami to Watch the World Cup

Hard Rock Stadium hosts seven matches this summer, including a quarterfinal and the third-place match. These are the bars where Miami watches football.

The Best Bars in Houston to Watch the World Cup

NRG Stadium hosts seven matches this summer — including a Round of 16 match on the Fourth of July. Houston's East Downtown is the epicenter.

The Best Bars in Dallas to Watch the World Cup

AT&T Stadium hosts eight matches, including a quarterfinal. Dallas has not hosted the World Cup since 1994. The bars have been waiting.

The Best Bars in Vancouver to Watch the World Cup

BC Place hosts five matches, including two Canada fixtures. Toronto looks toward Europe and the Caribbean. Vancouver looks across the Pacific. That distinction shapes everything about how this city watches football.

The Best Bars in Toronto to Watch the World Cup

BMO Field hosts six matches. Canada opens the tournament at home against Bosnia. Toronto — where more than half the population was born in another country — may be the most World Cup-ready city on the continent.

The Best Bars in Philadelphia to Watch the World Cup

Lincoln Financial Field hosts six matches — including Brazil vs Haiti and France vs Iraq. Philadelphia has more Irish pubs per capita than any city should. For the World Cup, that turns out to be an advantage.

The Best Bars in San Francisco to Watch the World Cup

Levi's Stadium hosts six matches in Santa Clara — 45 miles south of the city. San Francisco's football bars have been opening before dawn for decades. The commute is new. The commitment is not.

The Best Bars in Seattle to Watch the World Cup

Lumen Field hosts six matches, including USA vs Australia. Seattle has been a football city since 1974. The bars reflect that.

The Best Bars to Watch the World Cup 2026 in Los Angeles

Eight matches. Two USA games. A quarterfinal. And a city with more football cultures than any other host. Here's where to be when you're not in the stadium.

8,060 Days

Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time since 2004. The title was confirmed on Bournemouth's pitch, in Bournemouth's game, decided by Bournemouth's teenager. The wait is over. It does not feel the way anyone expected it to feel.

The Imitation Game

Five games left. A game in hand. At the Etihad today, Guardiola is closing the way he always closes. The question — again — is whether Arteta has an answer.

One More to Go

Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0 at the Emirates. Havertz headed in Saka's corner. The margin between where Arsenal are and where they could have been was, at several points on Monday night, almost nothing at all.

A Game of Chicken

Manchester City are two points behind Arsenal with ten days left. Pep Guardiola is still pressing the accelerator. Nobody has turned the wheel yet.

Four Minutes and Seventeen Seconds

The VAR decision that disallowed West Ham's equalizer against Arsenal was correct. That is almost beside the point.

Nervous Nineties

The Premier League is in an idiom borrowed from another sport. Five teams know exactly what it means.

Glorious Mourning

Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0 to clinch La Liga. The football was done in 18 minutes. Hansi Flick's father had died that morning.

The Season Was Already Won. El Clásico Still Matters.

Barcelona have 88 points and an eleven-point cushion. The mathematics of La Liga are settled. And yet Saturday's match at the Bernabéu carries something harder to quantify.

One in a Hundred

Antoine Semenyo's backheel in the 72nd minute won Manchester City the FA Cup. It was the only thing that happened all afternoon. It was enough.

Wembley, Again

Manchester City are in their fourth consecutive FA Cup final. No club has ever done that. They have also lost the last two. Today, against Chelsea, both of those things are true at once.
