The 9 Best Soccer Bars in Dallas for Watching the World Cup
Drinks will be ice cold, and crowds will be rowdy.
As one of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup, Dallas is getting ready to welcome fans from around the world with packed bars, street parties, and watch experiences worth even planning a trip to the state around. Whether you’re staying near the stadium in Arlington or hopping between Deep Ellum and Downtown, you’ll find bars opening early, staying open late, and serving cold drinks to fend off the summer heat.
Some bars cater to Premier League loyalties, others to the local FC Dallas faithful, but all will have World Cup matches streaming on every available screen come summer 2026. From British pubs that don’t mess around to classic American sports bars with giant projectors and patios, here are nine of the best places in Dallas to watch the World Cup — no ticket required.
Christies
Christies opened in 1991, and their Lower Greenville location is one of the most popular sports bars in the city — with 69 TVs across two floors, LED screens on the rooftop, and a 120-inch projector for the main events. The menu is unapologetically bar food, with a few wildcards: buffalo chicken dip with crispy onions, tatchos (that’s tater tots turned nachos), and a better-than-it-needs-to-be charcuterie board stacked with pickled vegetables and grain mustard. If you’re with a group, order the Party Platter for a deep-fried lineup of wings, mozzarella bricks, tenders, mini corn dogs, and popcorn chicken. Drinks are just as bold, with cocktails on tap, sangrias in towers, and the comically named “F*** It Bucket” — the perfect drink if your team loses. The draft list rotates seasonally but includes everything from Shiner Bock and Karbach Love Street to Kona Big Wave and Troy Aikman’s Eight Elite Light Lager. Expect Christies to go all out for World Cup watch parties, so plan accordingly.
Christies: 2817 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206
Dubliner
The Dubliner is small, dimly lit, and always packed when there’s a match on. It’s the longest-running Irish pub in Dallas and a neighborhood fixture on Greenville, especially for those who prefer a proper pint and some grumbling over questionable calls. For food, go straight for the chicken tenders or curry fries, or settle in with shepherd’s pie and a pint of Harp if you’re staying the whole afternoon. There’s a decent whiskey list, too, which may come in handy depending on how the group stage goes.
Dubliner: 2818 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206
Frankie’s Downtown
Frankie’s Downtown is one of the go-to sports bars in Dallas for watching big tournaments. There are more than 40 HD TVs, 20 Texas beers on tap, and a menu that’s got all the bar-food favorites — Hoodoo Fries with queso, poblano cream, pork belly, and sriracha; the Texican quesadilla with smoked chicken and green chile cream sauce; and, if you’re there for a morning fixture, triple-stacked French toast and carafes of mimosas. It gets packed early, especially when there’s a national team on screen, so don’t show up expecting a quiet table.
Frankie’s Downtown: 1303 Main St, Dallas, TX 75202
Goodbye Horses
Goodbye Horses is a laid-back bar located on SMU Boulevard. There are oversized TVs, affordable food, and daily drink specials. The wings come tossed in your choice of hot, medium, teriyaki, or BBQ, and there’s a build-your-own pizza menu. If you’re near campus or staying in the northeast neighborhoods, this is a good local spot to catch a fixture.
Goodbye Horses: 5629 SMU Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75206
Harwood Arms
Harwood Arms is an official watch bar for Chelsea FC’s Dallas supporter group, the North Texas Blues, as well as Bayern Munich’s Dallas contingent, and it regularly opens early for Premier League and Champions League fixtures. The British-style pub is genuinely charming, and it’s earned its reputation not only as a soccer-devoted bar, but also as a reliable place to get better-than-expected pub grub — you’ll want to order the signature Codfellow’s fish and chips with whiskey barrel-aged malt vinegar, or the Guinness-braised short ribs. Tables spill out onto the patio, where you’ll find even more screens for extra viewing space.
Harwood Arms: 2823 McKinnon St, Dallas, TX 75201
The Londoner Pub Dallas
The Londoner is another highly rated British pub in Dallas with deep ties to the local soccer community. There are three locations around the city — Addison, Colleyville, and Mockingbird Station. It’s the go-to spot for England supporters and a reliable gathering place for Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle fans. You’ll find scotch eggs served with Branston pickle, fish and chips with malt vinegar, and one of the more extensive beer lists in Dallas, including Lakewood Lager and rotating imports. Seating fills quickly, especially for national team games, so plan to arrive early and settle in.
The Londoner Pub Dallas: 5321 E Mockingbird Ln #250, Dallas, TX 75206
Off The Cuff
Off The Cuff is one of the best places for watching soccer in Deep Ellum — especially if you’re planning to roll your match day right into a night out. The bar has wall-to-wall TVs, a late-night kitchen, and one of the busiest scenes in the neighborhood when big games are on. While it covers everything from NFL to college football, it’s also a reliable destination for international soccer — especially during major tournaments like the World Cup or Champions League. The space fills up fast on weekends, with lines often stretching down the block, so it’s worth arriving early if you want a good spot. Once the game’s over, you’re steps from some of Dallas’ best live music venues and nightlife.
Off The Cuff: 2901 Elm St, Dallas, TX 75226
Peticolas Brewery Co.
Peticolas is one of the most soccer-committed breweries in Dallas. The owner is an Everton supporter, the logo resembles a football club crest, and the taproom hosts regular viewing parties for FC Dallas, Premier League, and World Cup matches. It’s also home base for the Dallas Beer Guardians, the supporters’ group for FC Dallas, who’ve turned match days into something of a ritual here. The tri-level layout includes foosball, ping pong, board games, and plenty of communal seating. The brewery created a custom golden ale called Match Day for FC Dallas, and in past tournaments has released limited World Cup beers like Thrilla in Brazilla and Rumble in Russia. Food trucks rotate regularly — usually serving tacos, pizza, or burgers — and you’re welcome to bring your own snacks if nothing’s parked out front (though chances are, on game days, there will be).
Peticolas Brewery Co.: 1301 Pace St, Dallas, TX 75207
Texas Live!
If you’re in Dallas without a ticket but want to be as close to the World Cup action as possible, Texas Live! is your spot. Located between AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, this sprawling entertainment complex houses multiple venues under one roof. At the center of it all is Live! Arena, where a 100-foot LED screen and tiered seating make it feel like you’re sitting in the stadium. During the World Cup, expect themed drink specials, fan gear giveaways, and crowds waving flags from just about every continent. You’ll also find plenty of food and drink options around the complex, from Texas barbecue to tacos and cold beer, which comes in handy because you’ll want to make a day of it here. 
Texas Live!: 1650 E Randol Mill Rd, Arlington, TX 76011
