10 Best Bars to Watch the Game in Hong Kong

A traditional British pub above Causeway Bay with eight screens inside and two projectors that throw the match onto the wall of its balcony beer garden. That outdoor setup is rare in Hong Kong and makes Trafalgar a strong pick for a warm-night fixture or a rugby weekend. It reliably runs football and rugby with the sound on for the main match, and the garden gives a group room to spread out. See our Trafalgar profile for details.

A British-style room in the heart of Wan Chai built around seven TVs and two 100-inch screens, so the main event is impossible to miss from anywhere in the bar. It is a true catch-all, running F1, UFC, rugby, football, and the NFL across the week, which makes it the safe choice when your group follows different sports. The volume goes up for the marquee match and the crowd reacts to it.

One of Central's original gastropubs, The Globe screens everything from Premier League football to the Super Bowl and rugby on a sizable projector and a wall of TVs. The main room feels like a living room rather than a sports barn, which the regulars prefer, and the sofa area with its own big screen can be booked for a group. The kitchen and beer list are a step above the usual pub fare.

Hong Kong's first Irish pub, open since 1994 and the home of the city's first draught Guinness, Delaney's pours a proper pint while running US sports, the Premier League, and global rugby on its screens. It has the old-school pub setting the expat crowd treats as a home from home, and it leans into the big rugby weekends. For a late European kickoff with a Guinness in hand, it is a dependable Wan Chai pick.

A friendly neighborhood bar just off Staunton Street in SoHo that punches above its size, showing American football, football, rugby, and F1 on a big 65-inch screen. The room is small enough that everyone is into the same game, which makes it the pick for an NFL morning or an F1 race when you want company rather than a crowd. Staff will line up the feed you came for.

A Kennedy Town favorite with six large screens and a surround-sound system that wraps the bar, so the audio carries to every corner. It is the local pick on the west of Hong Kong Island, welcoming and easygoing, and it covers the main football and rugby fixtures with the sound up. The waterfront neighborhood makes it a good first stop before a longer night out.

A long-standing Causeway Bay sports bar that overlooks the SCAA football pitch and sits a short walk from Hong Kong Stadium, which makes it the natural pre and post-match spot for a Sevens weekend. Multiple screens run football, rugby, and cricket, and there are darts and pool tables for the breaks. The crowd mixes locals and expats and the room knows its sport.

Open since 2013 and known as a home of craft beer in Hong Kong, The Roundhouse Taproom pairs a deep tap wall with screens for the big games. It is the pick for fans who want a serious pour with the match rather than a generic lager, and it stays busy on a major football night. The focus is the beer, but the room follows the headline fixture with the sound on.

A welcoming Irish pub on Wellington Street in Central that pours Guinness and runs football and rugby on its screens through the late kickoff windows. It is handy for anyone in the Central and SoHo area who wants a pint and a reliable screen without the Wan Chai crowds. The room is relaxed and steady, which suits a midweek European night. See our profile for hours.

A Wan Chai stalwart that screens football, rugby, and motorsports across three wide television screens, sitting right in the middle of the neighborhood's bar strip. It is an easy, unpretentious room that works as a stop on a Wan Chai crawl or a base for the afternoon, and it leans into the F1 calendar as well as the football. The location means you are steps from the next screen if your match is not on.
