Choosing a venue to catch the footie is no easy feat; there's comfort, drinks, food and screen size all to consider. Lucky for you, this city's pubs and bars are some of the finest to hunkering down in for all of the England fixtures. Read on to uncover the best places to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Leeds.




The Malt Brewhouse

Horsforth favourite The Malt Brewhouse not only has the freshest pints around, thanks to the on-site brewery, but there's special sports viewing tables available to book throughout the tournament. Topping it off? Shuffleboard and pool for afterwards.

Box Leeds

Grab a pint, a pizza and settle in for the World Cup action at Box. There's no danger of missing a single kick here, with 35 HD TVs dotted around the place.

Get down before the match to kick off the competitive spirit early. You can beat your mates at everything from karaoke to shuffleboard and Electric Darts.

Grosvenor Casino Leeds Westgate

If you're after a boozer to catch all the World Cup action, Grosvenor Casino is a great choice. You can wolf down everything from juicy burgers to sumptuous pizzas and crispy fries, all while slinging back a pint and catching every single minute of the big game.

The Bowers Tap

One of the city's top spots for live sport, The Bower's Tap is the perfect place to follow the World Cup action. With big screens throughout the bar, you can cheer on every kick with a steady flow of delicious drinks.

We're talking craft lagers, classic beers, ciders, wines, spirits and a creative selection of cocktails. Big game refreshments come in many forms too, from small plates and sharers to burgers, sandwiches and pub grub classics.

Roxy Ball Room

If you're looking to watch the football in Leeds, but also not skimp on any activities and entertainment at halftime, then Roxy Ball Room is just the place. Fronting ping pong and pool alongside shuffleboard, this fun spot is keeping things competitive.

Aire Bar

Riverside views are the backdrop at Aire Bar for their sports screenings. Watch from the plasma screens as you play pool, or while munching your way through a Yorkshire-themed menu and drinking a selection of real cask ales.
