Best NFL Bars in London (2026): Team Bars & Watch Spots

London has no shortage of places to watch American football, but true NFL team bars are much rarer than in an American city. A few fanbases have a pub they call home every week. Most teams only take over a bar for a few days when they play a London game, then move on.

So this guide is split in two. First, the confirmed team bars and fan homes, for when you want your team's crowd. Then the bars that reliably show the NFL every Sunday, for when you just want a screen and the right game. For busy Sunday slates, book ahead and name your matchup, and for the late-night primetime games, pay close attention to closing times.

Confirmed team bars and fan homes: The Eagles (Passyunk Avenue), Bills (Broadwood), Browns (Greenwood), Jaguars (Greenwood) and Ravens (The Raven on Tower Bridge Road). If your team isn't on that list, the general bars below are your best bet.

Best atmosphere: Passyunk Avenue, a Philly-themed group with four London bars. It's the Eagles' official bar but welcomes every team, and Waterloo is the branch to try if you haven't booked.

Best for finding your exact game: Belushi's London Bridge, where The Dugout downstairs runs RedZone alongside the big games and takes requests.

Best for late games: Sunday Night Football runs from 1:20am to about 4:30am UK time, and the only bar we'd count on for the whole game is Kings Sports Bar at the Empire Casino, which is open 24 hours. Paddy's Sportsbook at the Hippodrome stays open until 4am on Sundays, which gets you most of it.

Most reliable network: The NFL's eight official UK sports bars, BOX Piccadilly and the Sport London pubs (Greenwood, Goldwood, Broadwood, Redwood, Beechwood, Westwood and Long Arm), all show NFL every Sunday from 6pm. Pick the one nearest you.

Best for RedZone: Belushi's London Bridge, BrewDog Waterloo, Bat & Ball and Maple Leaf in Covent Garden, The Dial in Greenwich and Famous Three Kings in West Kensington.

UK kickoff times shift in the autumn because Britain and the US change their clocks a week apart. This year UK clocks go back on Sunday 25 October and US clocks on Sunday 1 November, so for one week every game starts an hour earlier in London.

Where the games are broadcast: Sky Sports carries more than 170 live games this season, including NFL RedZone and every primetime game. Channel 5 shows two live games free every Sunday (the 6pm game on 5Action and the 9pm game on 5). NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries the full schedule, but two regular-season Sunday games each week are blacked out live in the UK and Ireland, one in the early window and one in the late window, and become available on demand 24 hours after they end.

About closing time: England has no fixed pub closing time, but many London licences end between 10:30pm and midnight on Sundays. That's why the late game is the real test of an NFL bar here, and why we've noted Sunday closing times throughout.

Book for big Sundays. Passyunk Avenue and the main sports bars fill up, and Passyunk's Fitzrovia branch books out weeks ahead of big Eagles games. Waterloo keeps space for walk-ins.

Name your game when you book. Sky and Channel 5 only carry some games live, so if yours isn't one of them, put it in the booking notes. A dedicated NFL bar is far more likely to have the feed than a pub that just has Sky.

Wear your jersey. UK NFL crowds are mixed and friendly, and nobody will mind a Cowboys shirt at an Eagles bar.

Check the closing time before the late game. It matters more than the menu once it's past 11pm.

Bring ID. The casino sports bars are over-18s only, and individual fan club events can have their own age restrictions, so check the event details before you go.

We only list a bar here when the team or its fan club names it as a current, regular home. Plenty of other teams hold one-off watch parties around London, and we've noted those in the bar listings further down.

Passyunk Avenue calls itself the only Official Eagles Landing Bar in the UK, and it's the clearest London equivalent of an American team bar. The group has four bars, shows NFL across all of them from Thursday night through Monday night and makes a point of welcoming fans of every team. Book on Eagles Sundays, and if you want a specific game, put it in your booking notes.

The London Bills Backers started in 2021 with about 20 people and now pack out Broadwood near Liverpool Street with Bills jerseys and Zubaz. They host most Bills games but not all of them, and the club's schedule says plainly that if a game isn't listed, there's no meetup, so check and register before you go.

The British Bulldawgs Browns Backers, founded in 2001, list Greenwood in Victoria as their current London viewing location. The group meets for Browns games during the season, but fan club schedules can vary by week, so check the British Bulldawgs' current event post before you travel.

The Jaguars are the closest thing London has to a home team. Union Jax, the team's free official UK fan club, holds watch-alongs during the season at Greenwood in Victoria, which Jaguars UK has branded the Tealwood, and the team's London game-week takeovers happen there too. Not every game gets a watch-along, so check Jaguars UK's weekly how-to-watch post.

The Ravens' official UK page names The Raven on Tower Bridge Road as an official London bar. UK Ravens, the long-running UK fan club, also organises selected ticketed watch parties around London. Those venues can change by game, so check the club's current event listing before a big Sunday.

Don't see your team? London doesn't have a confirmed home bar for the other 27 teams, but several run official watch parties during the season. The 49ers hold theirs at Goldwood, the Packers have used BOX Piccadilly and Redwood, the Bears and Dolphins have used Beechwood, and the Jets ran a tailgate at Flat Iron Square this September. For everything else, the bars below are the reliable choice, and our tip is to book and name your game.

These are London's most reliable NFL bars: venues with regular American football programming, official NFL UK recognition or a strong record of showing the games. If you're chasing one specific matchup during a crowded Sunday slate, book ahead and name the game.

The Sport London pubs are the backbone of NFL watching in London. All seven are official NFL UK sports bars showing games every Sunday from 6pm, all take bookings, and they're spread across the city, so you can pick by neighbourhood. Most close at 11pm on Sundays, which means they're best for the 6pm games.

The late Sunday game starts at 9:05pm or 9:25pm and usually ends after midnight, while Sunday Night Football runs from 1:20am to around 4:30am. Most London pubs can't stay open that long without a late licence, so pick your bar by the kickoff time.

Two London games are still to come this October, both kicking off at 2:30pm UK time and both on Sky Sports and free on Channel 5.

Eagles: the team has named Goldwood near Bank its official London headquarters from 5 to 11 October, with fan rallies on 9 and 10 October. Passyunk Avenue's game-day tailgate on Sunday 11 October is at Fitzrovia, and its Wooder'loo Terminal Market runs in the Leake Street tunnels by Waterloo from 8 to 10 October.

Jaguars: Tealwood Takeover events at Greenwood on 10, 15 and 17 October.

Texans: no public Texans fan-event venue has been announced yet. Check the team's London and social channels as game week approaches for any official rally or watch-party details.

NFL Experience London: the NFL's free fan festival takes over Trafalgar Square on Friday 9 October (1–7pm) and Saturday 10 October (12–7pm). Register in the NFL OnePass app.

Pub crawls: you'll see ticketed "takeover" pub crawls advertised for each game. They aren't affiliated with the NFL or the teams.

After the game: the streets around both stadiums get very crowded. From Tottenham, the Overground runs from White Hart Lane straight to Liverpool Street for Broadwood, Beechwood and Long Arm. From Wembley, the Metropolitan line gets you to Baker Street in two stops, then on to the West End.
