Where are the best bars to watch the 2022 World Cup in Los Angeles? LA has plenty of great sports bars and pubs, but the timing of this World Cup’s games makes things a bit trickier.
First off, it’s late fall/early winter is a weird time of year for the tournament, add in that games in the Pacific Time Zone are set to kick off at 2am, 5am, 7am, 8am, and 11am, and it’s not going to be as easy as in years past to find the perfect bar or pub to watch the match you’ve been waiting months for. Still, there are plenty of amazing pubs and bars across Los Angeles offering opportunities to watch World Cup 2022.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of the best places to watch World Cup 2022, where you’re sure not to miss your favorite sides in action. When possible, we’ve included complete lists of games and times provided by the bars showing these various matches. Check out our list below (scroll completely down for the times and dates of all matches):
