Leeds watches its sport on a wall of screens. The city centre rooms compete on screen count, from a thirty two foot display to thirty five HD panels, and most carry Sky and TNT Sports side by side so you never miss a fixture. The best of them put the sound on for the headline match and pack out for a Leeds United game or a Champions League night. These ten range from the giant screen halls to the riverside HD rooms.
Giant Screen Sports Halls
These are the rooms that compete on scale. A wall sized screen for the headline match, dozens of HD panels for everything else, and the sound up so the whole floor follows the game.
01
Live Bar Leeds
City centre$$32ft screen
Live Bar runs one of the biggest screens in Leeds, a thirty two foot wide display built from twenty one interconnecting panels, plus coverage spanning Sky and TNT Sports, At the Races and Box Office. The scale makes it the room for a headline match you want to watch large, with the sound on and a crowd that fills the floor.
Game day tip: Stand near the front for a marquee fixture, since the giant screen is the whole point of the room.
02
BOX Leeds
City centre$$35 HD screens
BOX carries thirty five HD screens through the venue showing Sky, TNT and Box Office events, so there is a frame on every wall for whatever is on. Pizzas, burgers and kebabs keep a long session going, with vegetarian and vegan options, and the spread of screens means a clear view from almost any seat in the room.
Game day tip: Good for a multi fixture afternoon, since the thirty five screens can run several matches at once.
03
The Brotherhood of Pursuits & Pastimes
City centre$$Dozens of 4K screens
The Brotherhood celebrates live events across dozens of 4K screens, with an extensive food and drinks menu of burgers, beer and cocktails plus classic pub games. The sharp screens and the wide coverage make it a strong all round game day room, busy for the football and able to carry the rest of the sports calendar at the same time.
Game day tip: Pair the football with the pub games between fixtures, which keep a group going through the afternoon.
04
Black Cat Club
City centre$$18 HD screens
Black Cat Club opened in 2024 with eighteen HD screens, benches and plush booths, and it runs TNT and Sky Sports live. The newer fit out and the booth seating make it a comfortable room for a planned watch, the kind of place to book a booth for a group and settle in for the headline match.
Game day tip: Reserve a booth for a big fixture, since the plush seating near the screens goes quickly.

Riverside and Multi Channel Rooms
These rooms run Sky and TNT side by side so you can follow two fixtures at once, with riverside views and a crowd that fills for the European nights.
05
Aire Bar
Riverside$$Sky + TNT simultaneous
Aire Bar runs HD screens in every corner with riverside views, and it plays Sky and TNT Sports at the same time, which means it can carry the Champions League, the Europa League and the Premier League together on a busy night. The riverside spot gives it a lighter feel than the big halls for an evening fixture.
Game day tip: Come for a night with two European fixtures, since it runs Sky and TNT side by side.
06
Canary Bar
Waterside$$Full fixture schedule
The Canary Bar is a waterside room with HD sports screenings and a full fixture schedule every day, carrying football, rugby and Formula 1. The industrial setting and the daily schedule make it a reliable choice for whatever is on, with the sound following the headline match and a steady crowd of sports fans.
Game day tip: Check the daily schedule on the Canary Bar site, since it confirms which fixtures the room will run.
07
Toast
City centre$$TVs + 2 projectors
Toast is a smaller room with televisions in every corner and two projection screens reserved for the big games, which makes it punch above its size on a marquee fixture. The compact space gives it a louder, closer feel than the giant halls, so it suits a fan who wants the crowd near the screen rather than a cavernous floor.
Game day tip: Aim for a seat facing a projector on a big game, since the two large screens are saved for the headline fixture.

Irish Pubs and Games Bars
For a partisan crowd or a night that mixes the football with pool and ball games, these rooms carry the sport and keep the room busy between fixtures.
08
O'Neill's Leeds
City centre$$Sky red button + TNT
O'Neill's in Leeds holds full access to Sky Sports including the red button plus TNT Sports, which covers every Premier League match and the Champions League fixtures. The Irish room brings the warmth and the crowd for a big game, and the red button access means it can pull a fixture the bigger rooms might not have on.
Game day tip: Ask for a specific Premier League game, since the red button access covers fixtures other rooms may skip.
09
Roxy Ball Room
Boar Lane / The Light$$Sport + ball games
Roxy Ball Room screens the best fixtures alongside beer pong, pool and table tennis, with venues at Boar Lane and The Light. It suits a night that mixes the football with games, a room where a group can watch the headline match and then move to the tables, with the sport on between rounds.
Game day tip: Book a table game in advance for a busy fixture night, then catch the match on the screens between rounds.
10
Headrow House
City centre$$Beer hall / Rooftop
Headrow House runs a large beer hall and two rooftop terraces with countless screens and a kitchen from the Ox Club team, so the food rises above the usual sports bar fare. The crowd stays lively for the football, and the mix of beer hall and rooftop gives a group room to spread out across a long game day.
Game day tip: Use the beer hall for the main screens and the rooftop for a break, since both carry the crowd on a big day.

Our Verdict on Game Day in Leeds
Leeds competes on screens, and that is the right way to choose. Live Bar, BOX and The Brotherhood run the giant halls for a headline match watched large, Aire Bar and Canary carry Sky and TNT together for the European nights, and Roxy and Headrow House mix the football with games and food. Pick the room for the size of the night you want. Every one of them keeps the match on the screen with the sound up, which is all a game day needs.
How We Picked
Every bar on this list was checked against its own current listing plus at least one independent guide before publishing, and ranked on the game day specifics that matter: screen count and sight lines, whether the sound goes on for the right league, the leagues and sports shown, the crowd, and how the room handles a late or overseas kickoff. We exclude venues we could not verify as open and showing live sport. For the method behind every game day guide, see our pillar guide to watching the game.
