England have found themselves in the last eight of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the serenade of ‘Three Lions’ can now be heard in the distance. With world domination on the cusp of reality, it’s time to get looking at the best World Cup screenings in Nottingham, to soak up all the screamers, last minute tackles and penalty kicks.
There are fan zones, pub gardens, late night bars and more to choose from, just scroll down and see which Nottingham World Cup screening takes your fancy!
Where: Secret Garden in Nottingham
Billed as Nottingham’s ultimate fan zone, Nottingham Secret Garden isn’t one to be missed. Garden Fan Zone Nottingham are taking over the elusive venue to screen the glorious exploits of the Three Lions, with food served up by The Bagel Project. Whether you’re viewing on the big screen or one of the venue’s seven smaller screens, there aren’t many better places to view England’s victories in 4K.

Where: Billy Bootleggers in Nottingham
Watching the highs and lows of a World Cup is one thing, but a bottomless one? It doesn’t get much better than that. At American diner-themed boozer Billy Bootleggers, you can pay £35 for two hours of non-stop, bottomless drinking and every time England scores, you get five pounds back (if England somehow net seven past the Norwegians, that’s a free bottomless two hours!)

BOX
Where: BOX in Nottingham
It goes without saying that a lively sports bar in the heart of the city will provide an unforgettable World Cup experience. BOX Nottingham has so far screened every match live throughout the tournament, making them one of the most reliable spots in town to witness the action. For an atmosphere that feels like you’ve been dropped into the action, choose BOX.
Binks Yard
Where: Binks Yard in Nottingham
Located right on its outdoor terrace, Binks Yard offers beer gushing from the tap and street food to die for, a perfect supplement for the big game. Plus, a pre-event DJ will kick things off before the match, so pack your dancing shoes alongside your Kane top.
The Bodega
Where: The Bodega in Nottingham
Known around the Trent as a live music venue and nightclub mostly used by emerging musicians, The Bodega is also a suitable spot to catch World Cup drama. Bask in the glorious sun within The Bodega’s lovely beer garden and catch the fun up close, complete with a flag draped around your shoulders and a pint in your hand.
Unit 13 Fanzone

Where: Unit 13 in Nottingham
Journey underground for Unit 13’s state-of-the-art fanzone. Trade the soundsystems and blaring drum and bass for a gargantuan screen and cries of joy when a player in red and white sends a ball careening into the top corner.
NG-ONE
Where: NG-ONE in Nottingham
Here we have another late night haunt transformed into the perfect football screening. NG-ONE have been knocking it out of the park with their FanPark watch parties, and they are still pulling the punches for the upcoming quarter final stint. The good news doesn’t stop in Nottingham as, due to huge demand, NG-ONE are opening the terrace to increase capacity.
Rock City
Where: Rock City in Nottingham
On other days Rock City is a sensational live music festival and a favourite among Nottinghamanians, but during Tuchel’s fated quest for a certain gold trophy it is home to a massive screen with massive pints and a major atmosphere to boot. Once your beaks are wetted and the scoreline surely leans in England’s favour, you can journey on to Rock City’s club, open until 3am.
Warehouse screening, Nottingham fan zone, a lively pub or whatever fits your fancy, Nottingham has it in spades. Now that you know where to watch the World Cup in Nottingham, there's nothing stopping you from getting your plans locked and loaded for the next round.
