Where to Watch the World Cup
The bars that showed World Cup 2026, in the host cities and the football cities beyond them.
The Best Bars in Kansas City to Watch the World Cup
It calls itself the Soccer Capital of America, plays in the loudest stadium on earth, and smokes the best barbecue on the planet. Kansas City does not arrive at the World Cup quietly — and here is where to watch it.
The Best Bars in Atlanta to Watch the World Cup
Atlanta did not inherit its soccer culture. It built one from nothing in a decade — and now the city in the forest hosts a World Cup semifinal. Here is where to watch it.
The Best Bars in Boston to Watch the World Cup
The stadium is in Foxborough. The football is in Boston. Twenty-two miles separate them — and the city has spent its sporting life proving distance does not matter.
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 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 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 Vancouver to Watch the World Cup
BC Place hosts seven 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 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 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 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 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 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 Dallas to Watch the World Cup
AT&T Stadium hosts nine matches, including a semi-final. Dallas has not hosted the World Cup since 1994. The bars have been waiting.
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 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 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 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.
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.
