Best soccer bars in Dallas — the ranked list

Eight verified Dallas-area soccer bars worth your matchday — Uptown supporter pubs, the Lower Greenville Irish belt, and outdoor options that survive a Texas June.

See Dallas watch parties May 7, 2026 · Pitch Party editors

This is a list of soccer bars in Dallas-Fort Worth that have been verified through at least two primary sources as legitimate, established soccer-watching venues. We didn’t include any place we couldn’t confirm shows soccer regularly. Anywhere a venue identity is contested in the sources, we noted it in the writeup rather than picking a side.

Method. Drawn from Visit Dallas, Matador Network, BigD Soccer, WFAA, the Dallas Observer, and The Icon Restaurant’s 2026 World Cup bar guide. Cross-referenced; ranked subjectively for matchday experience, not number of TVs.

1. The Londoner — Uptown / Addison / Colleyville

Three locations across the metroplex, which means most of DFW is within 25 minutes of one. NBC Sports voted The Londoner the top US pub for Premier League soccer. The Uptown location specifically is the urban one — walkable from McKinney Avenue, with patio seating that opens up in shoulder seasons. Addison and Colleyville are suburban-easy with plenty of parking.

For 2026 watch parties, all three locations will run matches. Confirmed by multiple Dallas-side primary sources.

Best for: EPL viewing, casual matchday with friends, anyone in the suburbs who doesn’t want to drive into the city.

2. Harwood Arms — Uptown Dallas

The official Chelsea FC Dallas supporters’ bar, and one of the few DFW pubs with a clear team identity. Harwood Arms is in the Harwood District, a walkable Uptown neighborhood that’s one of the more European-feeling pockets of the city. For 2026, the bar is broadcasting all matches — not just Chelsea-flag ones — with extra TVs being installed specifically for the tournament according to The Icon Restaurant’s coverage.

Best for: Chelsea fans by default, but anyone wanting a focused supporter-pub atmosphere for a 2026 match.

3. Frankie’s Downtown — Downtown Dallas

40+ HD TVs. Texas beers on tap. Visit Dallas singled out Frankie’s as the venue running watch parties for every 2026 World Cup match. The crowd is broad, not team-specific — meaning for a 2026 group-stage match you don’t have a clear allegiance for, this is where the energy lives without picking a side.

Best for: Match days where you don’t have a strong rooting interest, large groups, anyone who wants a sure-thing screen.

4. Hero — Victory Park

Six full-service bars, a 24-foot HD screen, arcade games, private upstairs lounge. Hero is the entertainment-complex play in the Dallas soccer-bar conversation — less of a supporter pub, more of a “get a group of 15 friends to one place” venue. Steps from American Airlines Center.

Best for: Big group watch parties (10+), matchdays followed by other Victory Park entertainment, fans who want a screen the size of a small barn.

5. The Dubliner — Lower Greenville

Billed as Dallas’s longest-running Irish pub. Newcastle supporters’ base. Heavy EPL crowd, large selection of imported and craft beers. Lower Greenville is a longer-running bar belt than Uptown — the energy is rougher around the edges in a good way, the beer list is deeper, and the regulars know each other.

Best for: EPL matches, Newcastle fans specifically, anyone tired of the polished-Uptown vibe.

6. The Irishman Pub — Addison

120-inch projection screen and broad TV coverage. Addison is the soccer answer for the northern suburbs — Plano, Frisco, Allen, anyone on the Tollway. The Irishman has been a soccer venue for over a decade and reliably runs the big matches.

Best for: Suburban North Dallas, big-screen viewing without driving downtown.

7. Gilligan’s Bar & Grill — Patio-side

Outdoor patio with substantial space and TVs that are visible from the patio. Gilligan’s is the lower-key neighborhood-bar entry on this list — less of a destination, more of “the bar near my house that gets soccer right.” Worth knowing if you live in the right radius and don’t want to drive for a midweek group-stage match.

Best for: Casual midweek matches, anyone valuing patio over crowd.

8. Backyard Dallas — Deep Ellum, climate-controlled patio

A 12,500 sq ft enclosed-and-climate-controlled patio in Deep Ellum, with 30+ TVs and two 20-foot LED screens. The “outdoor feel without the Texas June heat” trick is what makes it work — most actual rooftops in DFW are unusable for a noon-CT kickoff in late June, and Backyard Dallas is the closest thing to an open-air venue you can sit at for two hours without melting.

Best for: Day matches in late June and July when an indoor bar feels claustrophobic.

What’s not on this list and why

A few notable omissions:

  • Specific Mexican-supporter bars in DFW. They exist, they’re active, but the primary-source coverage we used didn’t name specific venues with the consistency we wanted. The Mexican-American supporter scene clusters in Bachman Lake, Oak Cliff, and parts of Fort Worth — for El Tri matches, Pitch Party’s Dallas discover map filtered to those neighborhoods is more accurate than a static list.
  • AT&T Stadium-adjacent bars in Arlington. Stadium-day venues are a different category — most aren’t dedicated soccer bars, they’re general sports bars getting matchday spillover. Worth knowing for the nine matches actually being played there, but not on the same list.
  • Argentine-specific watch venues. The DFW Argentine community organizes more around private parties and rotating venues than a single anchor bar. See Argentina supporters in DFW for the broader picture.

How to use this list for 2026

The eight bars above are your framework. The actual matchday plan depends on:

  • The match. A USA match concentrates at general sports bars; an EPL match concentrates at supporter pubs; an El Tri match concentrates in Latino neighborhoods.
  • The kickoff time. Early matches favor the bars that open early (Uptown, Lower Greenville). Late matches favor places open past 11 p.m. (most of the above, but call ahead).
  • The crowd you want. Supporter-club energy = Harwood Arms, Dubliner, Britannia. Big-screen / no-allegiance = Frankie’s, Hero. Suburban = Londoner Addison, Irishman.

For specific match-day plans, the Dallas discover map on Pitch Party shows which bars are running listed parties for every 2026 match. Most of the bars above will appear; the long-tail venues that fill in around them will appear too.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What's the best soccer bar in Dallas overall?
If you only go to one, The Londoner — three locations across the metroplex, voted top US pub for English Premier League soccer by NBC Sports. For Chelsea fans specifically, Harwood Arms in Uptown is the official supporters' bar. For pure crowd energy on a 2026 matchday, Frankie's Downtown is hard to beat.
Which Dallas bar has the biggest screen?
Hero in Victory Park has a 24-foot HD screen, six full-service bars, and is steps from American Airlines Center. The Irishman in Addison runs a 120-inch projection screen for matchdays.
Are these bars actually showing 2026 World Cup matches?
Yes — multiple primary sources (Visit Dallas, Matador Network, BigD Soccer) confirm these venues will be broadcasting 2026 matches. Frankie's Downtown, Harwood Arms, and the Londoner locations are confirmed by name to be running matches; the others are established soccer venues that'll follow suit.
Where can I watch outside in Dallas?
Backyard Dallas in Deep Ellum is the headline option — 12,500 sq ft of climate-controlled patio with 30+ TVs and two 20-foot LED screens, which means it actually works as an outdoor watch party in a Texas June. Gilligan's Bar & Grill has a more conventional patio with sightlines to interior screens.
Are there Mexican-supporter bars not on this list?
Yes — this list focuses on bars that have been verified through primary sources covering the broader 2026 tournament prep. The Mexican-American supporter scene in DFW concentrates in Bachman Lake, Oak Cliff, and Fort Worth's North Side; for El Tri matches specifically, check Pitch Party's Dallas discover map filtered to those neighborhoods.
