The hunt for the best places with big screens to watch the World Cup in London ends here. England’s journey through Group L is going to be an absolute football gauntlet, so they need the whole country behind them - and you need a massive screen to help you catch every second.

History didn't repeat itself during a high-stakes rematch against Croatia—the very team that broke hearts in 2018—as England came out on top there and across the whole group, thanks to a win against Panama and a draw against Ghana too. Road to the knockouts complete, we have since also beaten DR Congo, Mexico and Norway in nail-biting knockout rounds, with a loss to Argentina knocking us out in the semi-finals.

Whether you’re looking for an outdoor fan zone to cheer on Bukayo Saka (especially after Arsenal's league win) or somewhere to nab some England merch and sing 'Hey Jude' at the top of your lungs while praying for another Jude Bellingham bicycle kick, our curated and regularly updated guide features the top-rated pubs and bars showing the FIFA World Cup 2026 on giant HD projectors and cinema-sized TV screens. We're here to help you find (and book) top picks for watching the third-place playoff and final live from the United States.

Do I need tickets for these big screen venues, or can I just walk in?

It depends entirely on the venue. Major official fan zones (like potentially Hyde Park or Trafalgar Square) and large commercial spaces (like Boxpark or Between the Bridges) almost always require booking in advance.

Will the matches be shown regardless of the weather?

Most dedicated outdoor fan zones have large covered areas or giant marquees, but many are fully open-air. Screenings will go ahead in the rain, so dress for the British summer.
