Where to watch the World Cup in Philadelphia

The sporting event that has captured the world’s attention will soon come to a close, but there are still prime opportunities to tune in as the final four teams battle for the prized World Cup.

Here’s where to watch the World Cup in Philadelphia. 

Fado Irish Pub

Known as the World Cup headquarters in Philly, Fado will be showing every single match right up until the end. While watching the games, Philadelphians can also indulge in a selection of brunch dishes and drink specials to make their viewing complete. Seating is on a first-come first serve basis, and viewers can find more information about what the hotspot offers online.

Live! Casino & Hotel

Sports & Social

Located inside South Philly’s Live! Casino & Hotel, it’s no surprise that Sports & Social has quickly become known as a hub for all things sports. For games, there are plenty of viewing opportunities for all fans (such as a 4k media wall, 52′ LED display and 24 TVs throughout the bar) while sitting in booths, high-tops or bar seats. Additionally, gamblers will also be able to check out the region’s first Fanduel Sportsbook and Lounge while there.

Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse 

In an all-new location, Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse held its grand opening this fall, and now, it offers a prime location to watch many different games, including the World Cup. As a release states, in their new home, Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse features two levels with 4,000+ square feet of space, with 45 seats at the bar and 70 seats at tables on the ground main level. The space also features 25 seats at the bar, 10 at the rail looking over the lower level and 40 more at tables on the second/mezzanine level—so, there’s ample opportunity here to watch a win. 

In total, there are around 190 seats inside, with outdoor seating to be added next year as well. The downstairs and upstairs bars both feature full-service bars, plus plenty of TVs and sound systems for an all-star game day. Recently, there were also 22 large-screen HD televisions, and an 11-foot high-resolution big screen to watch all sporting events.

McGillin’s Olde Ale House 

Aside from being a hotspot for most Philadelphia sports games, the oldest continuously operating tavern in the City of Brotherly Love is also a historic spot to watch the FIFA World Cup. In fact, in 2007, McGillin’s became the birthplace of the Sons of Ben when Bryan James, Andrew Dillon and David Flagler founded the Philadelphia Union’s first supporter group there.
