Where to watch the FIFA World Cup in Leeds

Forget the pain of Euro 2024; leave the disappointment of the 2022 World Cup behind. It’s 2026, and England have some truly world-class players with the chance to bring football home for the first time in 60 years.

But if you’re in Yorkshire, the question on your lips is surely: where are the best World Cup screenings in Leeds? Well, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re weighing up whether to embrace the madness and join your fellow England fans at a fan park, or take the chance on a walk-in and plump for a pub, we’ve rounded up a list of the best places to see the Three Lions hopefully do the job.

Anyway, enough from us. Here’s where to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Leeds.

Leeds World Cup Fanzone at Beaver Works

Where: Beaver Works in Leeds

Forget “quiet pint in a corner”, as Beaver Works’ World Cup Fanzone is more “arms around strangers” if Harry Kane rattles one in the top corner. As World Cup screenings in Leeds go, this sounds like a hoot.

Expect a pre-match party with massive speakers, BBQ food, and of course, a huge LED screen to make every shot, tackle and moment feel larger than life. We reckon it’s going to be one of the liveliest spots in Leeds.

Back When Presents… Rewind - England World Cup Special

Where: Canal Club in Leeds

If you’re after a party to warm up for England and hopefully celebrate after, Canal Club is the place to be. All the action kicks off at 9pm, with DJs spinning the best R&B and club classics before, at halftime and after the game.

Trinity Kitchen Fanzone

Where: Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre

Trinity Kitchen is made for peak football enjoyment. After all, they’ve got not one, not two, but three huge screens showing the game. You won’t even have to blink when Saka whips in a cross.

You’re sorted for beers, too. Leeds-based brewery Northern Monk will be serving pints all evening, and with 11 street food vendors including Jerk Junction, Pho, Pizzaluxe and ThatZiki, there are plenty of options to fuel up before kick-off or at half-time. Put simply, it looks like one of the best Leeds World Cup fan zones out there.

Fancy celebrating an England win with a load of jubilant England fans? Get down to 4TheFans. They’re turning the O2 Academy into a footballing haven, getting the party started before kick-off and ensuring everyone is suitably buzzing.

Expect DJs spinning all the iconic England anthems, food, drink, chants and limbs when the ball hits the back of the net. Plus, if Harry Kane and co don’t make it to the semi-finals, you’ll get your money back! Not a bad deal, if you ask us.

BOX Leeds

Where: BOX in Leeds

BOX doesn’t mess about when it comes to World Cup screenings in Leeds. First off, it’s massive. And secondly, it’s right in the heart of the city centre, so you can expect a lively crowd that probably knows all the lyrics to the rap from “World In Motion”.

They’ve also got a World Cup specials menu, so grab your ticket, get down early, load up on food and settle in for all the madness.

Pinnacle Sports & Games

Where: Pinnacle Sports & Games in Leeds

You won’t miss any of the action at Pinnacle Sports & Games, because they have over twenty HD screens. That’s an England fan’s dream, surely?

Alongside the screens, you can enjoy the game with a pitcher of beer and grab pizza before the game or at half-time. It’s perfect for big groups, and we imagine that the atmosphere will be on point.

Head of Steam

Where: Head of Steam, Park Row in Leeds

Again, this one’s for those who prefer to settle in at a good pub with a few pints. Head of Steam on Park Row is one of Leeds’ best pubs, and they’ve been showing every England game since the beginning of this year’s tournament.

There’s even a gaming area. So, why not turn up early, see if they’ve got FIFA, and play a match? Or, right the wrongs if England lose and make them score 10.

Rita’s Leeds

Where: Rita’s in Leeds

Rita’s is class. Not only is it in the heart of the city, meaning easy access, but it serves absolutely knock-out pizza slices, which you can devour while England try to breach the Norway defence.

Plus, their margs are top-notch, so if you want something a bit sweeter than a beer to wash it down with, there’s your option. That’s without mentioning the party atmosphere and huge screens that’ll make you feel like you’re in the stadium yourself.

Brewery Wharf Tavern

Where: Brewery Wharf Tavern in Leeds

We couldn’t forget the craft beer enthusiasts, could we? Brewery Wharf Tavern serves up a load of ace beers from local breweries, so if you want to try a new beer while cheering on England, this is the ideal place.

The pub also serves up homemade, stone-baked sourdough pizza, which sounds absolutely banging to us. So, if you love craft beer, pizza and fancy somewhere with an atmosphere that’s upbeat but not overblown, book your tickets at Brewery Wharf Tavern and have a great night.

So, there you have it: some of the best places to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Leeds. Whether you’re going full throttle at a fan zone, soaking up the city-centre buzz, or settling in at a proper pub with a pint and pizza, Leeds has plenty of spots ready for England’s latest shot at glory.  Now all that’s left to do is pick your spot, rally the group chat and hope the Three Lions do the business.
