For a buzzing atmosphere while you watch the game, head down to Freemasons in Hove. This two-storey bar is the Masonic capital of Sussex and dates back more than 100 years, but the interiors are modern and filled with natural light.
There are multiple large screens showing the football, which you can enjoy alongside a craft beer or cocktail. Hungry? Kitchen residents Bunny are cooking up South African fare like bunny chow, juicy bacon cheeseburgers and mac and cheese balls.
Situated in The Lanes, The Black Lion is a great watering hole to watch live football in Brighton. You'll get to see every kick, tackle and boot of the ball right here on the HD screens, before exploring the food offering. Our favourite? It has to be the vegan burger.
Clink your pints of lager as you focus on the footie matches at The Lion and Lobster. Situated in the town centre, this local boozer has a selection of screens that will show all of the big fixtures, along with a tasty food selection. Think halloumi, burgers and more.
You can always rely on North Laine Brewhouse to be the best sports bar in Brighton that shows the Champions League. Chow down on tasty pub grub here, all before catching every tackle with your pals. On top of that? There's also beer or prosecco pong and table football.
After Champions League pubs with football in Brighton? Fiddler's Elbow may be rugby fans at heart, but BT sport means there's plenty of opportunity to view this huge tournament too, all with affordable pints of Guinness to accompany.
Alongside tasty grilled grub and slap-up roasts, you can find the Champions League in Brighton this 2026 at The Exchange. And while you're cheering on your side on the projector screen? There's also a happy hour between 3pm and 8pm.
Out of all the Brighton pubs showing BT Sport and the Champions League, The Fitz Regent is a favourite. This colourful and vintage-styled space has everything a football fan could need - screens, scran and affordable drinks.
One of the best pubs to watch football in Brighton throughout the Champions League fixtures, Signalman is making sure all your needs are covered whether it's the final or an earlier game. Think gut-busting burgers, gastro fare and loaded fries to accompany your viewing.
Grand Central is not just a pretty face, as it's also home to first-class sports showings. This vibrant drinking den provides the ideal backdrop to see your favourite players on the big screen. If you're hungry, wrap your chops around the crispy Norfolk chicken wings or steak pies.
Upgrade your footie plans with Easy Tiger at The Hampton. Make your way inside this town centre watering hole to enjoy authentic Indian grub from Sabu Joseph, director of Cafe Cardamom, all while seeing your team lift the trophy.
Thanks to being both a party bar and pub, The Font Brighton has a great atmosphere for catching all the footie fixtures. Not only is there a big projector screen, but also food to eat during and DJs for celebrating once the game is over.
A must-visit sports pub in our town, New Unity has 15 screens, two projectors and booths aplenty across multiple floors. You won't miss any of the big fixtures if you book here, with board games and darts for afterwards too.
The Black Horse is an intimate boozer with a sporting heart. Pair football games from the best teams in Europe with real ales, craft beer and hearty food, alongside a pocket-sized courtyard garden for a breather at half-time.
