Aussie spot Walkabout Leicester is the ideal sports pub, thanks to cheap food prices, affordable pints and footies viewing galore. From a huge wall of TVs to booths with their screens and others dotted about the space, it's hard to miss a moment of the action here.
O'Neill's is a top choice for your match day viewing, having gained a reputation for its party atmosphere and wallet-friendly food. The Irish pub in Leicester features various screens, as well as private areas that you can hire out if you fancy something a little more intimate with your friends.
Make a day of it with a bottomless brunch and a match at The Loaded Dog, one of the best pubs in Leicester for watching sport. The buzzy and vibrant spot houses a huge TV and 11 flat screens around the venue, including one outside in its beer garden, making sure you never miss a minute.
A Victorian gin palace in the centre of all the action, Hogarths is one of the most glamorous places to watch sport. Housed inside a former bank, the bar has a range of HD screens and serves a selection of beers, wines and cocktails to sip on throughout.
Screenings and social gaming comes together at Rileys. Up there with the top pubs boasting live Sky Sports, this late-night bar has a mass of snooker and pool tables, perfect for a half-time frame or two, along with TVs showing everything from tennis and football to cricket and golf.
