Quick answer: For USMNT matches → The British Bulldog (American Outlaws and Colorado Rapids supporters’ Denver home). For English football → Three Lions on Colfax. For all the European leagues and supporter groups → The Celtic on Market in LoDo. For Mexico / El Tri → Los 3 Potrillos Mexican Restaurant & Sport Bar in Westwood. For Colombia and the Latin field → La Chiva on South Broadway.
The 2026 World Cup runs June 11 through July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and Denver’s soccer scene has exploded right alongside the Colorado Rapids and a growing USMNT supporter culture. The Mile High City isn’t a host, but it’s home to one of America’s most-loved soccer pubs and a deep bench of options — from LoDo’s pubs to the Mexican-American corridor on Federal Boulevard and Morrison Road. Here are the five best places to watch, plus the free downtown watch parties. (One Denver note: pace yourself on the drinks at altitude.)
The British Bulldog
Five Points / downtown

The British Bulldog is Denver’s soccer institution — a top-10 most-nominated bar on Men in Blazers’ America’s Best Soccer Bar list, and the official Denver home for both the Colorado Rapids supporters and the U.S. national team’s American Outlaws. It opens at dawn for overseas kickoffs (as early as 5 a.m. on Saturdays), serves hearty British and Indian pub fare, and plans to celebrate the World Cup en masse, with the Colorado Rapids staging watch parties through the group stage and knockouts. When the USA plays, this is the room.
World Cup angle: American Outlaws and Rapids supporters’ home and a top-10 U.S. soccer bar — the USMNT gathering spot, open at dawn.

Three Lions is the home of the English Premier League in Denver — a Colfax pub dedicated to world football that opens on time for any match, whatever the kickoff hour. The big, rectangular room keeps good sightlines even when packed, the English food is solid, and the atmosphere on big games is a favorite among Denver soccer fans. The natural base for England and the European nations.

The Celtic is the LoDo soccer pub that reliably has every important match — La Liga, the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and Serie A — and several supporter groups meet here, including Denver’s Barcelona penya (Penya Blaugrana). The UK owner is often around, there’s a deep beer and whiskey list, and live trad music adds to the craic. A great all-nations and multi-league base in the heart of downtown.

Los 3 Potrillos Mexican Restaurant & Sport Bar
Westwood / SW Denver
3700 Morrison Rd #2620, Denver, CO 80219
phone: 303-955-5665
Open in Google Maps
For El Tri, head into Westwood — the heart of Denver’s Mexican-American community along Morrison Road — where Los 3 Potrillos is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant and sport bar with TVs, a full bar, big shareable plates (the parrillada is built for a group), and cold cervezas. Crucially, it’s open every day, so unlike the weekends-only cantinas over on Federal, it’ll actually be open for Mexico’s midweek group-stage matches. A festive, local spot to watch El Tri among the neighborhood crowd.

La Chiva Colombian Cuisine
Platt Park / South Broadway
1446 S Broadway, Denver, CO 80210
lachivacolombian.com
Open in Google Maps
For Colombia and the broader Latin field, La Chiva is a festive, beloved Colombian restaurant on South Broadway — empanadas, arepas, sancocho, big portions, festive music, and an open, celebratory vibe. It’s a community room rather than a sports bar, which is exactly the move for a Colombia match day (and a great meal for any Latin-nation game). Note it’s closed Mondays and runs a split lunch/dinner schedule (closed mid-afternoon, roughly 2–5 p.m.), so check the kickoff time before you go. A flavorful, distinctive alternative to the pub crowd. World Cup angle: A festive Colombian room for La Tricolor and the Latin nations — empanadas, arepas, and a celebratory crowd.
What’s on the screens year-round: Major matches and Latin programming, with a restaurant-first feel.
Best for: Colombia and Latin American fans who want food and atmosphere.
