Where to Watch the World Cup 2026
The biggest sporting event on the planet is finally here. Gather your squad, find your seat, and watch every England game live at a Butcombe pub — cold pint in hand, big screen in front of you.
🏴 England vs Croatia 17 Jun, 9pm | 🏴 England vs Ghana 23 Jun, 9pm | 🏴 Panama vs England 27 Jun, 10pm
The FIFA World Cup 2026 runs from 11 June to 19 July across the USA, Canada and Mexico — and England have been handed a compelling group draw, facing Croatia, Ghana and Panama. There’s no better place to experience every moment than at a Butcombe pub, where great beer meets great company.
Whether you’re rooting for the Three Lions through the group stage and beyond, or simply want a proper pub atmosphere to take in the world’s greatest tournament, our pubs are ready. Think big screens, brilliant pints straight from the brewery, hearty food to fuel the occasion, and the kind of crowd that makes every goal feel like a moment in history.
Our pubs stretch from Somerset to London, so wherever you are in the South of England, there’s a Butcombe close by — and eight of them are showing the games live all tournament long.
