How to Find a Bar Showing Your Team Abroad

One of the most reliably comprehensive sports bars in New York for international fixtures. The Sports Page holds every major broadcast package and their schedule board updates weekly. If your game is being broadcast anywhere in the US, they will have it. Staff are used to requests from international visitors and will confirm viewing availability by phone the day before a match.

Order: Pint of whatever is on draft — the beer list is secondary to the screens, but they keep the taps rotating

Porterhouse runs every Sky Sports and BT Sport package alongside NFL and NBA satellite feeds. The basement level is specifically rigged for big-game viewing — low ceilings, large screens, and an atmosphere that actually builds when the game matters. Good for American visitors looking for NFL or NBA in London, and European visitors who want Premier League, Champions League or La Liga.

Order: The Porterhouse Red ale, brewed on site — one of London's better house beers

Irish bars across Europe are consistently the most reliable venues for finding any game from any league. Flann O'Brien's in Berlin runs every major broadcast package and stays open for early-morning kickoffs from the Americas without complaint. The staff know their schedule two weeks out and will answer questions about specific fixtures by email. Our first call in any European city we do not know well.

Order: Guinness — fresh lines, consistently well poured, exactly what you want for a long match

The Locks sits on the Grand Canal and shows everything — GAA, Premier League, Championship, Six Nations, Champions League, and enough US sport to keep visiting Americans happy during peak NFL season. The crowd is genuinely mixed and the atmosphere builds organically for a big game. No cover charge, no minimum spend, and the kitchen runs until late. One of Dublin's best watching venues.

Order: Murphy's Irish Stout over Guinness — underrated, slightly smoother, and the house recommendation

The Aussie Bar in Paris is one of the few venues in the city that runs both Australian Rules and Rugby Union alongside the standard European football feeds. It also holds the US sports packages, making it the go-to for Australians, Americans and anyone else who needs a sport that French bars typically ignore. The bar food is better than you would expect and the beer choices include Southern Cross lager on tap.

Order: Victoria Bitter — imported and the only place in Paris where you will find it on tap

Finding Western sport in Tokyo requires knowing where to look. Tigin in Nihonbashi is the most dependable option — they run all the European football packages and have NFL on Sunday nights. The staff are English-speaking and the menu covers both Japanese and Western food properly. Kickoff times from the US and Europe fall awkwardly with Tokyo timezone, but they stay open for the games regardless.

Order: Sapporo draft — the local choice and genuinely the right call over imported beer in Tokyo

Barcelona is a football city but The Globe Bar makes a point of showing sport from every league and country. They run LaLiga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and the US sports packages simultaneously across multiple floors. The Catalan staff are helpful about checking the schedule for specific fixtures if you ask in advance. Open from noon and serving food throughout — a full day venue for big match days.

Order: Estrella Damm on tap — the only honest choice in Barcelona for a house lager

Melbourne takes sport seriously and The Drunken Duck in Fitzroy shows everything: AFL, cricket, rugby, Premier League and enough US sport to keep visiting Americans engaged during the season. The venue fills quickly for AFL finals and State of Origin, so arrive 40 minutes early for any major event. The kitchen closes at 10pm but the bar runs until 3am on match nights.

Order: Carlton Draught — the local Melbourne pick and always the freshest pour in the building

Mexico City's most dependable venue for North American sports. Hooligans runs NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League Pass, MLB Extra Innings and Liga MX on a full wall of screens. The atmosphere on NFL Sunday and during the NFL playoffs is as close to a US sports bar as you will find in Latin America. They also show Copa Libertadores and Champions League — a well-rounded operation.

Order: Modelo Especial on draft — the right call in Mexico City and consistently fresh at this venue
