The big-screen crowds gather on Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein, with reliable Irish pubs across the Centrum and one local pick south in De Pijp. Here are the six we send people to for the match, sorted by district.
For the biggest match-night crowds, head to the squares. Dan Murphy's on Leidseplein and The Old Bell on Rembrandtplein both run screens and late licences, so they are the loudest answer to sports bars near me in the nightlife core.
Across the Centrum, O'Reilly's near Dam Square, The Clansman, and Coco's Outback on Thorbeckeplein all carry the fixtures, while O'Donnell's serves De Pijp south of the centre for a quieter local crowd.
