The Best Bars in Guadalajara to Watch the 2026 World Cup

Ready to watch? These are the city’s best sports and soccer bars for cheering on your favorite team.

Where to find the best sports and soccer bars in Guadalajara

In Guadalajara, the soccer bar scene is no joke, and fans follow Liga MX teams and international matches with passion. For visitors, the best soccer bars will mostly be in central neighborhoods like Colonia Americana and the avenues around Avenida Chapultepec. These areas are loaded with bars, pubs, and casual restaurants that mix nightlife with reliable sports viewing. During big matches, the street will fill with people grabbing drinks and walking between stops before or after kickoff. Neighborhoods like Providencia and parts of Zapopan pull a mix of locals and tourists and are where you’ll find most of the city’s Irish-pub-type bars. These neighborhoods feel slightly more residential and relaxed but still energetic on game days.
