The 2026 World Cup runs June 11 through July 19, and Dallas is the epicenter: AT&T Stadium in Arlington — renamed “Dallas Stadium” for the tournament — hosts nine matches, more than any other city, including a semifinal on July 14. The marquee storyline is Argentina: Lionel Messi’s last-dance squad plays its group stage at Dallas Stadium (Argentina vs. Austria on June 22 and Jordan vs. Argentina on June 27). The stadium sits in Arlington, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, so the whole Metroplex turns into a watch-party zone — and DFW has one of the most underrated soccer-bar scenes in the country, from soccer-committed breweries to Addison’s British pubs to the Mexican cantinas of Oak Cliff. Here are the five best places to watch the World Cup in Dallas.
Peticolas Brewing Company
Design District
1301 Pace St, Dallas, TX 75207

Peticolas is arguably the most soccer-committed brewery in Dallas — the taproom is home base for the Dallas Beer Guardians, FC Dallas’s biggest supporters’ group, and it has a history of brewing World Cup-themed beers (this year’s releases include Melee in the USA and TKO in Mexico). The three-level space has foosball, ping pong, and communal seating, and the crowd is people who actually care about the game rather than folks who wandered in because it was on. It’s showing every World Cup match and hosting the USA and Japan supporter groups, so for USMNT matches this is the soccer-first room to be in. One scheduling note: Peticolas is closed Mondays and closes at 6 p.m. on Sundays in a normal week, so check its watch-party schedule for tournament hours. (If you want the big-screen spectacle, FOX Sports is also showing all USMNT games — and 40 matches total — on the 87-foot LED dome at Cosm at Grandscape in The Colony.)
World Cup angle: Dallas’s most soccer-committed brewery and the Dallas Beer Guardians’ home — the spot to watch with people who live and die with the game. What’s on the screens year-round: FC Dallas, USMNT, and major international soccer, with World Cup beers on tap.
Best for: Supporters who want a soccer-first room, not a generic sports bar.
The Londoner (Addison)
Addison
14930 Midway Rd, Addison, TX 75001

Open in Google Maps
Addison has quietly become one of the metro’s best soccer neighborhoods, and The Londoner is the reason — a deeply traditional English pub that opens as early as 6 a.m. on Saturdays during European match windows for supporters who take morning kickoffs seriously, and that’s committed to showing every match all tournament long. Regulars flag it as a hangout for Arsenal and EPL fan clubs, with fish and chips, a red phone box out front, and TVs throughout. It’s the natural base for England fans and anyone who wants a proper pub atmosphere for the tournament.
World Cup angle: The metro’s classic England/EPL pub — early opens and a real supporters’ crowd for the Three Lions and the European field.
What’s on the screens year-round: Premier League, Champions League, and major internationals.
Best for: England and European-nation supporters who want a proper pub.
Harwood Arms
Uptown / Harwood District
2823 McKinnon St, Dallas, TX 75201

Open in Google Maps
Harwood Arms is a British-style pub in the Harwood District and the official bar for Dallas’s Chelsea FC supporters — the North Texas Blues — as well as Bayern Munich’s Dallas contingent, committed to broadcasting every single World Cup 2026 match, with extra TVs installed to handle the volume and a deep scotch and whiskey library. They’ve been known to throw block parties on big match days, so it’s worth checking their social feeds as the tournament heats up — and with England playing at Dallas Stadium, expect a Three Lions crowd here too. A strong, central British-pub option near Uptown and Deep Ellum.
World Cup angle: A British pub and Dallas’s Chelsea supporters’ home, showing every match — a reliable European base in Uptown.
What’s on the screens year-round: Premier League, Champions League, and internationals.
Best for: Chelsea and Europe supporters who want a central, atmospheric pub.
Corrientes 348
Downtown / Arts District
1807 Ross Ave, Dallas, TX 75201
phone: 214-220-0348
Open in Google Maps
Argentina is the headline act of Dallas’s World Cup — Messi’s last-dance Albiceleste play their group games at Dallas Stadium — and Corrientes 348 is the city’s premier Argentine steakhouse, a downtown room built for the moment with prime cuts, Malbec, and a bar that turns into Albiceleste territory on match days. It’s a fine-dining steakhouse rather than a sports bar, with split lunch-and-dinner hours and a mid-afternoon break, so call ahead to confirm they’re putting Argentina’s match on and reserve around the kickoff — but for a proper South American meal-and-watch when Argentina plays, this is the anchor.
World Cup angle: Dallas’s Albiceleste home for Messi’s last dance — Argentine steak and Malbec with the match.
What’s on the screens year-round: Argentina internationals and major tournaments.
Best for: Argentina supporters who want a parrilla with their fútbol.
Ojos Locos Sports Cantina
Southwest Dallas
4473 Dallas Fort Worth Turnpike, Dallas, TX 75211
ojoslocos.com
Open in Google Maps
For El Tri, Ojos Locos is the Mexican sports-cantina pick — a lively, screen-heavy room with cold Mexican beer, Latino crowds, and El Tri energy on Mexico match days, confirmed to show all World Cup matches. Dallas’s deepest Mexican-American soccer culture runs through Oak Cliff and the Jefferson Boulevard corridor, where neighborhood spots like Tejano Sports Bar y Cocina also pack in for Liga MX and the national team. Either way, this is the territory for a USA vs Mexico crowd.
World Cup angle: The El Tri sports-cantina pick — cold cervezas and a Mexico-supporting crowd for every match.
What’s on the screens year-round: Liga MX, El Tri internationals, and big fights.
Best for: Mexico fans who want a loud, festive cantina.
