The 2026 World Cup runs June 11 through July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and Los Angeles is at the center of the opening act — hosting eight matches at SoFi Stadium, including the USMNT’s opener against Paraguay on June 12 and a quarterfinal. FIFA is temporarily calling the venue “Los Angeles Stadium.” No American city is more soccer-saturated or more international: LA is the El Tri capital of the United States, home to expat supporters’ clubs for nearly every nation, and a city where the watch scene stretches from Santa Monica’s British pubs to Lincoln Heights’ Liga MX bars. Here are the five best places to watch the World Cup in Los Angeles.
1739 Public House
Los Feliz
1739 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027
phone: 323-663-1739
Open in Google Maps
1739 Public House is a Los Feliz mainstay for soccer fans — a gastropub that puts the game on multiple screens throughout — and when the USA plays, including the June 12 opener right across town at SoFi, it’s a natural gathering point for U.S. supporters on the Eastside. It’s a proper sports pub with a deep rotating beer list and sidewalk tables, and the staff is known to open early and adjust hours for overseas kickoffs (regulars report watching 8 a.m. World Cup matches here). Normal hours run 2 p.m.–2 a.m., so confirm the opening time for an early match. Expect it to fill fast for USMNT games.
World Cup angle: A Los Feliz soccer-pub gathering spot for U.S. fans — multiple screens and early opens for the Yanks’ opener and beyond.
What’s on the screens year-round: USMNT and USWNT, Premier League, Champions League, and major American sports.
Best for: USMNT supporters who want a soccer pub on the Eastside.
La Chuperia
Lincoln Heights
1145 N Mission Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90033
phone: 323-816-2752
Open in Google Maps
For El Tri, Lincoln Heights is the move. La Chuperia is one of LA’s go-to spots for Liga MX and the Mexican national team — it lands on Yelp’s list of the city’s top Mexican soccer bars — with matches on multiple screens, micheladas the size of fishbowls (loaded with cucumber, tamarind, and shrimp), and a low-key, low-priced room. In a city with the biggest Mexican-American community in the country, this is the kind of place where a Mexico match feels like a national holiday. Note it’s closed Mondays and opens at noon, so check the kickoff time.
World Cup angle: An El Tri heartland venue — Mexico matches with the full Liga MX crowd and energy.
What’s on the screens year-round: El Tri internationals, Liga MX, and big LA sports.
Best for: Mexico supporters who want to watch with the El Tri faithful.
Ye Olde King’s Head
Santa Monica
116 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401

A block from the Santa Monica Pier, Ye Olde King’s Head is the most established British pub on the Westside — a 40-plus-year institution with fish and chips (regularly called the best in LA), English ales, and a transplant crowd that turns out in force for the Three Lions and the rest of the European field. With more than 3,000 reviews and a genuine pub atmosphere, it’s the obvious base for England fans and a reliable spot for any European nation on the Westside. It opens at 8 a.m. daily, which matters for the early morning kickoffs on the coast.
World Cup angle: The Westside’s classic England (Three Lions) and European pub — early opens, proper pub grub, and an expat crowd.
What’s on the screens year-round: Premier League, Champions League, and major internationals.
Best for: England and European supporters staying near the beach.
LALA’s Argentine Grill
Melrose
7229 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046
phone: 323-934-6838
Open in Google Maps
For Argentina, LALA’s on Melrose is the city’s most established Argentine grill — skirt steak, empanadas, house chimichurri, a wine bar, and a covered patio. It’s a restaurant first, not a TV-wall sports bar, so it’s a meal-and-match pick rather than a singing-section one: call ahead to confirm they’ll have your game on, and note it opens at 11 a.m. (better for afternoon and evening matches than the early ones). For a proper Albiceleste match-day asado in central LA, it’s the natural gathering spot for Argentina fans.
World Cup angle: LA’s Albiceleste meal-and-match pick — Argentine steak and wine with the game, central and reliable.
What’s on the screens year-round: Argentina internationals and major tournaments.
Best for: Argentina supporters who want a parrilla with their soccer.
33 Taps (Silver Lake)
Silver Lake
3725 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Open in Google Maps
33 Taps is the all-rounder — a high-energy Sunset Boulevard sports bar known for putting as many games as possible on screen, often with sound on multiple matches at once (a rarity worth its weight during a 104-match tournament). A big tiled video wall, fast app-based ordering, a long beer list, and a crowd that shows up for everything from Champions League to the World Cup make it the easy pick when your group is split across nations. It opens early on weekends for the morning slate.
World Cup angle: The every-match, sound-on Eastside option — ideal when your group is rooting for different teams.
What’s on the screens year-round: Champions League, Premier League, and the full international calendar, with sound on marquee games.
Best for: Mixed-nation groups who want choice and atmosphere.
