Prague pairs the cheapest great beer in Europe with a dense pack of Irish and British bars that pull the Sky and TNT feeds for every big match. Most of the action sits in the Old Town and around Wenceslas Square, where the screens are large, the channels are comprehensive, and a Champions League night brings out an international crowd of expats, travelers and stag groups. The best rooms here are defined by what they put the match on, a 150-inch LED, a wall of 14 TVs, a projector wired to 300-plus channels. These ten cover the big-screen halls, the late-opening pubs, and a self-pour Czech beer room where you never leave your seat.
Old Town Big Screen Bars
A few minutes from Old Town Square, these are the rooms built to seat a crowd in front of a wall of screens, with the sound up for the headline game.
01
Dubliner Irish Bar
Tyn, Old Town$$2 big screens + 14 TVs
Just off Old Town Square, the Dubliner is one of Prague's best known sports bars, with two large screens and 14 TVs that cover the Premier League, international football and the NFL. It has the welcoming Irish-pub feel and live music to match, which makes it a reliable base whatever the fixture and a fixture of its own on a busy match day.
Game day tip: With 14 TVs and two big screens, there is a good line of sight from most tables, but claim a spot near a big screen for the headline match.
02
Rocky O'Reillys
Stepanska$$150-inch LED screen
Near Wenceslas Square, Rocky O'Reillys shows the action on a 150-inch LED screen, with Guinness and Kilkenny on tap and ample space for big groups. It regularly carries Champions League football, rugby league and Formula 1, and the lively tunes often compete with the commentary, so it suits a loud, social watch rather than a hushed one.
Game day tip: Book ahead for a group on a Champions League night, since the 150-inch screen pulls a big crowd to this room.
03
Waxy Malone's
Old Town Square$$11 screens / Terrace
A modern Irish bar right on Old Town Square, Waxy Malone's carries the Premier League, Formula 1 and more across 11 screens to a mostly international clientele. In the warmer months it opens a terrace on the square, which makes it an easy place to land for a match in the sun, though drinks run pricier than bars off the tourist track.
Game day tip: Grab a terrace table for an afternoon kickoff in summer, then move inside near a screen once the headline game starts.
04
O'Che's
Liliova$$Projector + 300 channels
A Cuban-Irish bar near Charles Bridge, O'Che's shows live sport on a large projection screen backed by four big TVs and access to more than 300 sports channels, which means it can find almost any fixture you ask for. It pours Guinness, Heineken and Gambrinus plus Magners cider, and the mixed crowd of expats and sports fans keeps the room warm through a long card of games.
Game day tip: Ask the staff to put on a niche fixture, since the 300-plus channels cover leagues the bigger bars skip.

McCarthy's Irish Pub
Rytirska$$Big screen / Disco below
Sitting between Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, McCarthy's has the aged Irish-pub feel down to a tee and runs big-screen coverage of the top sports. A disco in the basement means the match flows straight into a night out, and the room draws everyone from couples and expats to groups in for the weekend.
Game day tip: Good for a late kickoff you want to roll into a night, with the basement disco picking up after the final whistle.
Wenceslas Square and New Town
The New Town bars around Wenceslas Square trade on space and big projection screens, handy when the Old Town rooms are full on a marquee night.
06
The Pub
Veleslavinova$$Self-pour taps / Czech beer
The Pub puts a beer tap at every table, so you pour your own pints and track your tally without leaving your seat, a novelty that suits a long card of sport perfectly. Screens through the room show everything from Czech league football to international rugby, and the self-pour format keeps a group fed with beer right through extra time.
Game day tip: Book a table with its own tap for a group, so nobody misses a goal queuing at the bar.
07
James Joyce Irish Pub
U Obecniho dvora$$Calmer / Fresh Guinness
A traditional Irish pub in a quiet corner five minutes from Old Town Square, James Joyce pours some of the freshest Guinness in Prague and shows the major sports occasions in a calmer setting than the louder stag-crowd bars. It is the choice when you want to actually hear the commentary and follow the match without a wall of noise.
Game day tip: Pick this for a big match you want to watch closely, away from the party-led rooms around the squares.
08
Dutch Pub
Vladislavova$$Big screen / Spacious
A large, lively bar in the New Town, the Dutch Pub shows live sport on the big screen and pours a range of local and imported drinks. Seating is spread out enough that families, couples and groups all get their own space, so it handles a busy match day without feeling like a crush.
Game day tip: A solid fallback near Wenceslas Square when the Old Town screens are at capacity for a big fixture.
09
Londoners British Pub
Stepanska$$Projection screen + TVs
A British pub and sports bar near Wenceslas Square, the Londoners keeps things straightforward and functional, with the action on a large projection screen and TVs around the room. It is a pleasant place to spend a few hours over the football without the tourist markup of the square-side bars.
Game day tip: Reliable for a Premier League afternoon, with the projection screen handling the main game.
10
Durty Nelly's Irish Pub
Melantrichova$$Live bands / TV sport
A raw, rough-and-ready Irish pub on Melantrichova, Durty Nelly's mixes live bands, karaoke and a pool table with TV coverage of live sport in a prime central spot. The atmosphere runs high all day, so it is the room for watching the match as part of a longer, louder afternoon rather than a focused sit-down.
Game day tip: Come for the match and stay for the band, but expect the room to get loud well before kickoff.

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 size and count, channel coverage, whether the sound goes on for the right league, the crowd, and how the room handles a marquee night.
