Where To Watch The World Cup In Hackney 2026




FIFA World Cup

@ Hackney Church Brew Co on Various dates from Thursday 11th June 2026

Hackney Church Brew Co is showing every England match (plus a few more) right through the World Cup. Expect big screens, the full sound of the stadium and a buzzing matchday atmosphere from the first kick to the final whistle.

 

Wherever you pull up a pew, you're sure of a great view - all the action will be on the Arch 17 big screen, Barrel Store giant screen and outdoor screen. To keep you refreshed along the way, there's fresh beer on tap, easy-drinking pints, and plenty of delicious bites.

The Kenton

A Norwegian-run pub located north of Victoria Park, The Kenton is an eclectic mix of vintage furniture, bold colours and a giant moose head. Behind the bar, you'll find more than a few surprises. 

We're talking Nordic beers and the signature Viking drink, packed with Akkevit schnapps. With five screens throughout the place, you won't miss a single second of the action while you're here.

Lord Napier & Star

Two for £14 Cocktails Thursdays and 5 other offers

After a closure of 20 years, The Lord Napier & Star is now one of the best-looking pubs in London. Right at the heart of Hackney, it's well known around these parts for its live music and killer DJs. 

When the World Cup rolls into town, the atmosphere will be just as epic. We're talking delicious drinks, epic burgers and dogs and every kick beamed live on the big screen.

England World Cup Screenings at Barge East ⚽🍻

@ Barge East Gardens & Terrace on Wednesday 17th June 2026 and 2 other dates

Watch every England game from the water during the World Cup. Barge East is beaming every match across big screens in its floating restaurant, the Milk Float, and covered terrace spaces. 

This place brings together football, cold pints, summer food and one of East London's best match-day atmospheres. Grab a ticket from just £7 to bag a reserved spot and your first pint.

Riverside East

With a stunning rooftop terrace and panoramic views over East London, Riverside East is the perfect spot to soak up the pre-match rays when the World Cup rolls around. Before the big match, there's plenty to keep you entertained across its three spaces - The Yard, The Café and The Terrace.

When kick off arrives, grab a seat in front of the big screen to follow every kick with cracking pints and epic pub grub.

The Old Ship Inn

Much more than a hotel, The Old Ship delivers old-school pub charm with East End cool. Everything about this place is top tier, from the burgers and chicken to the craft beer, real ale and cocktails.

With the refreshments well taken care of, all that's left to do is settle in front of the big screen and back the boys to World Cup glory.

The Three Compasses

Bottle of Prosecco for bookings of 15+ and 4 other offers

While many pubs in Hackney have turned into gastro pubs or micro breweries, The Three Compasses has stuck to its roots as a proper East End boozer. There's no fuss or frills here - just amazing local craft beers, the best burger pop-ups and giant projector screens.

Get down here to follow all the World Cup action, as the Three Lions journey from the gripping group stages to the grand finale.
