Though there may be no official FIFA World Cup Games in New York City, multiple free watch parties for games are being hosted throughout the Bronx in the coming week! Read on for details including what to expect, times and locations.
Want to enjoy the game with your family?
June 20, 4 p.m. – Ivory Coast vs Germany at Yop City Restaurant (2324 Arthur Ave.)
June 25, 5 p.m. – Ivory Coast vs Curaçao at Yop City Restaurant (2324 Arthur Ave.)
- This West African restaurant was packed for Ivory Coast’s first group-stage 2026 FIFA World Cup game, and likely will be for the next two. If you want to enjoy the thrilling experience of rooting for a country with a large group while eating their local cuisine, this Pelham Bay Restaurant may be the one for you.
June 23, 3 p.m. – England vs Ghana at Lou Gehrig Plaza
- This event begins with a live performance by Batingua Dance at 3 p.m. and the live stream of the match begins at 4 p.m.! If you’re interested in biking to the event with other members of the community, you can register here for a group ride led by Black Girls Do Bike.

June 24, 9 p.m. – Mexico vs Czechia at La Jefa Mexican Restaurant (237 Willis Ave.)
- This Mexican restaurant’s watch party for Mexico’s first group-stage game was a success and the same will likely be true for the last. La Jefa provides another opportunity to stay in the Bronx and support a foreign team while enjoying their local cuisine. All are welcome, though Spanish speakers will surely enjoy this environment.
Most Matches – New York Public Libraries
- NYPL branches across the Bronx will have free screenings of various (but not all) World Cup games. Select branches will be showing games in Spanish. For more information, visit here.
Every Match – Bledix Gaming Cafe (608 E Fordham Rd.)
- This gaming cafe, which only opened last month, gives you the opportunity to watch all World Cup games live while playing video games on high-end computers or Playstation 5’s. Bledix doesn’t serve alcohol, though guests under 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian all times.
Every Match – Halal Truck Roadside Diner (500 Grand Concourse)
- This food truck right outside of Hostos Community College, and next to a train station, is screening all upcoming World Cup games on an in-truck screen. Best suited for those already in the area looking to quickly catch a game without the commitment of a sit-down dining experience.
