NYC Soccer Bars by Team: Where to Watch Every Club (2026)

Ask where to watch soccer in New York and you'll get pointed to a sports bar. Ask where to watch your team and the answer gets a lot more specific. Arsenal supporters have seven pubs between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Liverpool fans have been filling the same East Village bar since 2004. Newcastle, Everton, Wolves, Real Madrid and Rangers each have a room that's unmistakably theirs.

This guide goes team by team, then finishes with the bars we'd send anyone to, whoever they support. Every pairing was checked in October 2026 against the supporters' group, the club or the bar.

The two big halls: Football Factory at Legends in Midtown, with 30-plus supporters' groups, and Smithfield Hall in Chelsea, with nine clubs.

Most bars per club: Arsenal has seven. Liverpool has the East Village, Park Slope, Astoria and the Financial District covered.

Clubs with a clear primary NYC home: Newcastle at Peter Dillon's 36th, Everton at Turnmill, Manchester City at Amity Hall, Wolves at McHale's, Brentford at The Red Lion, Real Madrid at The Playwright, Rangers at District Tap House.

No team? Start here: Banter in Williamsburg, Bar 43 in Sunnyside, McHale's in Midtown West, The Red Lion in Greenwich Village.

Early kickoffs: bars in New York can't pour before 8am Monday to Saturday or 10am on Sunday. A 7:30am Saturday match starts with coffee.

How early to show up: for a derby or a title decider, an hour at least. Arsenal's Fort Greene pub was at capacity two hours before kickoff for the trophy lift in May 2026.

Every club in the guide, with its New York home and how we know. Details for each are further down.

English clubs run the show here. All 20 clubs in the 2026-27 Premier League are listed alphabetically. If a club has more than one home you'll see all of them, and if it doesn't have one yet we say so.

Arsenal NYC doesn't do one headquarters. It has seven partner pubs, four in Manhattan and three in Brooklyn, and all seven open for every match.

Villa fans have the NY Villans, who watch at Football Factory at Legends in Midtown.

Bournemouth doesn't have a fixed supporters' bar in New York City. For a Cherries match, head to one of the general soccer bars below. Football Factory at Legends shows nearly everything.

The Red Lion on Bleecker Street bills itself as Brentford's officially recognised home in New York.

The Stateside Seagulls are a Legends group too.

New York Blues keeps two pubs. Legends is the main one, open for every match. Mulligan's in Hoboken handles the 10am and later kickoffs for the New Jersey crowd.

There's no permanent Coventry bar in New York yet. The city has seen one-off watch events, but nothing settled. Football Factory at Legends or Banter will have the match on.

New York Eagles watch at Legends.

Turnmill on East 27th calls itself the proud home of the NYC Evertonians.

Fulham NYC is another Legends group.

We couldn't find a permanent New York home for Hull City supporters. Any of the general soccer bars below will show the match.

Ipswich's North American supporters' network is active in New York, but it doesn't publish a permanent bar. Check with the supporters' group for where they're meeting each match.

The New York Whites meet at Legends. When Leeds toured the US in 2026, the club called it the official supporters' bar.

Liverpool's official supporters' club, LFCNY, has called 11th Street Bar home since 2004. It has partner bars around the corner at The Grafton and out in Astoria at Shillelagh Tavern. Brooklyn has its own official club at The Monro Pub. A separate group, the New York Kopites, watches at Carragher's downtown.

The official supporters' club, New York Sky Blues, watches at Amity Hall Downtown. If you've seen The Malt House in FiDi listed, that's old: the group stopped going during the 2025/26 season.

The New York Reds watch at Smithfield Hall, which counts Manchester United among its nine home clubs.

Toon Army NYC's dedicated home is Peter Dillon's on East 36th. Football Factory also lists Toon Army NYC among its supporters' groups, but the supporters' club and Newcastle's own directory both name Peter Dillon's as the primary New York home.

Forest's supporters' group, NYCSG, is one of nine clubs at Smithfield Hall.

Sunderland fans in New York don't have a settled home yet. Supporters have been meeting informally at different bars and talking about setting one up.

Spurs have three boroughs covered. New York Spurs is at Flannery's on 14th Street. Brooklyn Spurs meets at Banter for every fixture. Queens Spurs is at Rivercrest in Astoria.

West Ham and Wolves dropped out of the Premier League in 2026, but their New York supporters' clubs haven't gone anywhere. Football Factory covers most of the rest.

NYC Hammers watch at Smithfield Hall. West Ham's own piece on the group counts 45 to 50 regulars and several hundred for the big games.

Wolves' own supporters' directory puts New York Wolves at McHale's. Some guides still say Jones Wood Foundry. That's outdated.

Legends also has supporters' groups for eleven more English clubs: Blackburn Rovers (NYC Rovers), Bristol City (BCFC NYC), Cardiff City (New York Bluebirds), Leicester City (New York Foxes), Middlesbrough, Norwich City (New York Canaries), Preston North End (New York Northenders), Queens Park Rangers (QPR NYC), Sheffield United (NYC Blades), Sheffield Wednesday (New York Owls) and Watford (New York Hornets).

Millonarios NY from Colombia and Sporting Cristal NYC from Peru both watch at Legends.

NYCFC has an official Pub Club with bars in four boroughs. These are the ones we'd pick for the soccer as much as the affiliation.

The full 2026 list: Amity Hall Downtown, four Stout NYC locations, The Half Pint, Iggy's, Kelly's and The Wolfe in Manhattan; Banter, Kent Ale House, IV Purpose and Paddy's of Park Slope in Brooklyn; Bar 43, The Brewery, Pig Beach, Rivercrest and Duo Gastropub in Queens; The Bronx Brewery, Clinton Hall and Billy's Bar in the Bronx.

The Empire Supporters Club is on the list at Legends, which is where city-based fans watch away matches. For home games, the matchday is out in Harrison.

Brooklyn FC runs an official supporter bar program, and every partner bar shows every match, home or away. These five are the ones we'd choose.

The full list: Kitty Kiernan's (Bay Ridge), Boardwalk Beer Garden and Surf City Pizzeria (Coney Island), Fulton Hall (Fort Greene), Threes Brewing (Gowanus and Greenpoint), Highbury Pub (Ditmas Park), Beer Garage, Black Horse Pub and Paddy's of Park Slope (Park Slope), Soccer Tavern (Sunset Park), Berry Park (Williamsburg), Blue Haven South (Financial District) and Wilka's Sports Bar (Bowery).

You don't need a team for these. They put soccer first, open early and show more than the Premier League. A few are team homes as well. They're here because anyone can walk in and find their match.

Midtown has the two big halls. The pubs are downtown and uptown.

Williamsburg has more soccer bars per block than anywhere else in the city.

Four reliable rooms, two in Astoria and two in Sunnyside.

It gets thin up here. We couldn't verify a dedicated soccer-first bar in either borough, so call ahead for early kickoffs.

The 8am rule. Bars in New York can't serve alcohol before 8am Monday to Saturday or 10am on Sunday. Plenty open earlier for the 7:30am kickoffs and run on coffee and breakfast until the taps come on.

Who opens early. Football Factory at Legends at 7am on Saturdays. Smithfield Hall at 7:30am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays. Peter Dillon's 36th at 7am for 7:30 kickoffs. Banter for the Premier League and major internationals. 11th Street Bar 60 to 90 minutes before Liverpool play.

Get there early for the big ones. Derbies, title deciders and Champions League knockouts fill the single-club pubs long before kickoff. Smithfield Hall and Rivercrest take reservations. Peter Dillon's and The Monro don't.

Check before you travel. Supporters' groups change bars, sometimes in the middle of a season. The group's own social accounts are the last word.
