This guide highlights the best soccer bars in Mexico City for watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including the neighborhood for each for easy planning (Mexico City is absolutely huge). Whether you’re after a classy spot in Polanco (or even an American chain in the same area), a bustling pub with sidewalk seating in Condesa, or a dedicated sports bar closer to the stadium, each location offers a strong viewing setup and a menu to match — no tickets required.
While every bar below has set hours, it’s a safe bet that most will open early and close late for important soccer matches or other special events.
With plenty of screens, a great beer selection, and a lively crowd, the Irish-themed Celtics Pub in Condesa’s northern area is a go-to for locals and tourists alike who want to enjoy a game with friends. Food is bar-level and tasty. This lively spot also offers live music and rooftop seating, and it’s a short walk to Parque México and the famous Churrería El Moro — perfect for a post-game churro dessert.
If a decent bar meal along with a match is what you’re after, El Aserrin is the spot. This gastropub features patio seating and cheap domestic beers, along with a good drink menu.
BeerGarden Roma is a standout in Roma for its plant-filled, hip atmosphere and inclusive crowd. Known for screening major sporting events, it’s sure to be filled with expats, locals, and tourists throughout the World Cup. It offers a diverse food menu (including burgers and Korean fried chicken) and features an open-air layout, so you’ll hear the crowd roaring if anything happens as you approach. There are also karaoke rooms, in case you want to belt out your favorite team anthem between matches.
Another Juárez/Roma hub for live sports is The Dog House Pub in Juárez, just a block over from BeerGarden Roma. This Brit-owned soccer bar pulsates on match days and will be a central hub for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, especially when European teams are playing. The walls are lined with massive TVs and soccer memorabilia, and all key matches will be shown. It also hosts trivia nights and other random social events throughout the week.
Torito Lucas Sports Bar on Río Guadalquivir, just off Reforma in Cuauhtémoc, leans heavily into soccer rather than treating it as background programming. In fact, the venue bills itself around “cerveza, fútbol y buen ambiente.” It shows all Liga MX games with match-day promos, and has multiple screens so every seat has a good view. It’s close enough to walk to from the hotels around Reforma but still draws a largely local after-work and weekend crowd, so the atmosphere during club and important matches tends to make it feel more like a neighborhood soccer bar than a tourist-only venue. It’s also very close to Chapultepec Park, making it a great place to stop after exploring Latin America’s biggest and oldest urban park.
Torito Lucas is usually closed on Sundays, but makes exceptions for popular Sunday matches, so check the website before you head out to see if it’s open.
La Cervecería de Barrio has pubs all over the city, and its Polanco location is a hub for the expat crowd to watch sports. Show up early, and expect it to be packed when Mexican, American, and European teams play. The menu is heavy on seafood but has enough variety to keep everyone happy (plus plenty of margaritas, too).
Chili’s, of course, will show the games for anyone looking for a straightforward option. The chain has an outpost in northern Polanco, in the Antara shopping mall — an easy walk or Uber ride from elsewhere in the neighborhood. It may not be the most culturally rich experience, but it has good drinks, decent prices, and a friendly staff happy to have you hang out and watch games all afternoon.
Sport and Chips Coyoacán is the best sports bar in this soccer-obsessed neighborhood. Tapas plates and an endless flow of beers are served to a crowd of both locals and visitors. Games are broadcast on the jumbotron-style screen at the center of the room, and if you happen to be in the city while Mexico is playing, expect a rowdy atmosphere.
Also located north of Coyoacán, Arena Sports (also called Arena Cantina) is easy to access on Avenida Insurgentes. The bar menu is typical, and the food is well-regarded — but you’re here for the matches, which will be shown across a plethora of TVs.
