Where to watch the World Cup 2026 in London

This cavernous beer hall, formerly known as Truman's Social Club, was billed as ‘the UK’s biggest’ when it opened in 2020, so it should be spacious enough to pack in plenty of screaming football fans. The east London hangout will be showing the all of England’s matches on its ‘big screen’ with live entertainment bringing the energy for pre-match build-up and post-match celebrations. 

Showing: Every England match. 

How to book: Group stage matches cost £12, knockout matches cost £15 per person and the final will cost £20 per person. Last entry for tickets one hour before kick-off.  

South west London's premier party palace is laying on a massive bash for the World Cup this summer. You'll feel right up close to the action, which is projected on a vast 24ft cinema screen along with additional plasma TV screens so you don't miss a (hat) trick. In typical Clapham Grand style there'll also be some fun extras to build the atmos: live music, DJs, and classic highlights screened before each game. Plus hot food and beer deals to keep energy levels high. 

Showing: Every England match

How to book: Tickets available from £10. Includes free beer before 7pm. 

If you’d rather not spend the World Cup being jostled by crowds and pelted with plastic beer glasses, book a booth at one of TOCA’s football and dining experiences in the O2 or Westfield White City. You can book a spot in the main room or, if you have a particularly big group you can watch the match on your own private screen and get food and drink delivered directly to you. Win or lose, you can unleash all that pent-up post-game anxiety by having a go at striking yourself on one of bar’s flashy interactive games. 

Showing: All matches. 

How to book: Standing tickets £5.50 per person, tables or benches from £10.60 per person (depending on group size), private room from up to 30 people £583. Every ticket includes one drink per person. 

In this sprawling 10,000 sq ft space in Hackney that was once a Job Centre, you can take your pick from the big indoor screen or three outside on the terrace. Hungry?

Make ours a pickle Coke and a bag of frickles.
