The 12 Best London Venues to Watch the 2026 World Cup

The 2026 World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July, with 48 teams and 104 matches hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Because the games are in North America, UK kick-offs land in the late afternoon and evening, with the biggest fixtures falling between 5pm and 11pm. That makes it an easy win for a team social or a bit of client entertaining once the working day is done.

Every match is free to air on the BBC and ITV, so the only real question is where to watch. We have picked 12 London venues with the screens, the space and the atmosphere to do the tournament properly, from sports bars you can take over to rooftops, a street food fan hub and a grand ballroom for a sit-down hospitality night. Tell our team your dates and group size and we will get you instant pricing and the right room in minutes.

If you want the biggest screens, start here. BOX Piccadilly runs across three floors in the West End with 33 ultra-HD screens, and the lower floor is built purely for watching sport. Every World Cup match is on from 11 June to 19 July, England games included.

There is electric darts, shuffleboard and bandeoke for the build-up, plus pizzas, burgers and kebabs to keep a big group fed. Moments from Piccadilly Circus, it suits a large team that wants noise and energy.
