The 2026 FIFA World Cup is arriving and it won’t be cheap.

With many fans experiencing sticker shock at $1,000 tickets, watching a game in the stadium may not be as realistic as a table at a pub somewhere near the match.

Most every sports bar in America is going to go all-out for the World Cup; the matches will be easy to find on any bar TV, but for soccer fans, finding a bar dedicated to hosting soccer watch parties year-round- pubs that often open at 6 a.m. for random English Premier League games- adds to the experience.
