The 2026 World Cup runs June 11 through July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and Nashville is throwing one of the biggest parties in the Southeast. GEODIS Park hosts a month-long “Summer Kickoff” with Nashville SC Soccer Celebrations, concerts, and cultural moments.
Music City isn’t a host city, but it’s a real soccer town: Nashville SC packs GEODIS Park, the supporter scene is deep, and the bar map runs from British pubs in the Gulch to the Latin American hub on Nolensville Pike. Here are the five best places to watch.
Fogg Street Lawn Club
Wedgewood-Houston / SoBro
648 Fogg St, Nashville, TN 37203
phone: 615-678-6200

Fogg Street is Nashville’s premier soccer pub and the official pub of Nashville SC. It’s a British-style restaurant and bar packed with soccer memorabilia, with a rooftop of 15 lawn-bowling lanes on top. It opens early for big matches (it was packed at 7 a.m. for the Olympic hockey final), the Guinness pours are right, and it’s just off downtown near City Winery without the Broadway chaos. The flagship pick for the all-nations and Nashville SC crowd.
World Cup angle: Nashville’s premier soccer pub and Nashville SC’s official pub — soccer-soaked, with a rooftop scene.
What’s on the screens year-round: Nashville SC, Premier League, Champions League, and major internationals.
Best for: Soccer-first fans who want the city’s most committed room (plus a rooftop).
TailGate Brewery (Music Row)
Midtown / Music Row

TailGate’s Midtown brewery has long been the home of the American Outlaws Nashville chapter, with big screens inside and on a large multi-use patio, a deep house beer list, and made-from-scratch pizza. It’s the natural USA gathering spot during the tournament, with tons of indoor-outdoor space for a big crowd. Confirm the chapter’s exact 2026 watch-party home on the AO Nashville socials before a marquee USA match, since supporter homes can move.
World Cup angle: American Outlaws Nashville’s longtime home — the USMNT gathering spot, with beer and pizza and room to spread out.
What’s on the screens year-round: USMNT, Nashville SC, and major matches, plus craft beer.
Best for: USA supporters who want the Outlaws crowd and a brewery setting.
The Pub Nashville
The Gulch
400 11th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
phone: 615-678-4840
Open in Google Maps
The Pub is an English-style pub in the hot Gulch neighborhood with a real place in Nashville soccer history. It hosted the early shareholder meetings for the fan-owned version of Nashville FC and remains a pub partner of the MLS club. It’s all-ages (good for families), opens at 10 a.m., and delivers everything you’d want from an English pub: pale ales on draft, fish and chips, and an on-brand atmosphere. A reliable, central base for England and the European field.
World Cup angle: The Gulch’s English pub with deep Nashville-soccer roots — a family-friendly base for England and Europe.
What’s on the screens year-round: Premier League, internationals, and big matches.
Best for: England supporters and families who want a central pub.
Plaza Mariachi

For Mexico, El Tri, and the Latin American nations, Plaza Mariachi is the move — a vibrant Latin marketplace and entertainment venue on Nolensville Pike (the heart of Nashville’s Latino community) with food vendors, a bar, live music, and a festive, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a true cultural hub, which is exactly what you want for a Mexico match day, with pupusas, tacos, and a celebratory crowd. The energy here on a big Latin-nation match is unmatched in the city.

The Centennial
The Nations
5115 Centennial Blvd, Nashville, TN 37209
phone: 615-679-9746
Open in Google Maps
The Centennial is the neighborhood soccer dive in The Nations. Officially the home of the West Ham supporters’ club (the Nashville Hammers) and, outside the Outlaws’ official home, one of the best USMNT bars in town. Lots of TVs, darts, cornhole, golden tee, and genuinely good bar food make it a fun, unpretentious spot for the tournament. A great pick if you want a local-bar feel over a packed downtown room.
World Cup angle: The Nations’ soccer dive — West Ham’s Nashville home and a strong USMNT backup, with a neighborhood feel.
What’s on the screens year-round: Premier League (West Ham), USMNT, and major matches.
