Where to watch the 2026 tournament in Los Angeles

The supporter-pub belt from Studio City to Highland Park, the LAFC bars downtown, and where the Mexican and South American supporter scenes actually gather in LA.

See LA watch parties May 8, 2026 · Pitch Party editors

Los Angeles is the only US city with a soccer-bar density comparable to a European capital. Eight matches at SoFi for 2026, two MLS clubs (LAFC and the Galaxy) with their own bar partner networks, six or seven Premier League supporter pubs that have been institutions for over a decade, and the largest Mexican-American supporter community in the country layered over all of it.

This is the city version of where to actually watch — by neighborhood, by team, by what kind of room you want to be in.

TL;DR. Studio City + Highland Park + Culver City for EPL supporter clubs. Downtown / South Park for LAFC. East LA / Boyle Heights for El Tri. Silverlake for casual neighborhood bar. SoFi for the eight matches actually being played in LA.

The supporter-club belt

LA’s EPL supporter culture is structured around a handful of bars that are officially the home of an LA supporter group. That official-home status matters: it means the pub opens early for matches, the kitchen does English breakfast on matchdays, and you’ll find a crowd of 30+ people for a 4:30 a.m. Boxing Day kickoff.

The institutions, by team:

  • Arsenal — Fox and Hounds (Studio City). Official home of Arsenal LA. Opens 4:30 a.m. for major matches. Ranked among the top US soccer pubs. English breakfast menu, lineup of British ales.
  • Liverpool / Arsenal — Joxer Daly’s (Culver City). Both clubs’ LA supporter groups call this their HQ. Longstanding institution.
  • Tottenham — The Greyhound Bar & Grill (Highland Park). Official home of LA Spurs (the Tottenham supporter club). Full English breakfasts on Spurs match days.
  • Leeds United — Britannia Pub (Santa Monica). Official LA branch home for Leeds supporters.
  • Barcelona — Underdogs (Glendale). Penya Blaugrana Los Angeles, the official Barcelona supporters club, meets here.

For 2026 matches, every one of these venues will run watch parties — they’re institutional viewers, that’s the whole identity. The LA discover map shows which match they’re running on which day.

The LAFC corner

LAFC’s bar partner program is a real part of the LA soccer-bar map, separate from the EPL belt. 33 Taps near Crypto.com Arena is an official LAFC partner with a 5,000 sq ft space and strong international soccer programming. For LAFC matches and Cup nights, this is the high-energy node — and for 2026 watch parties in walking distance of the LA Live area, it’s the obvious pick.

LA Galaxy maintain a separate bar partner list across the South Bay and into Long Beach. Their bar partners (lagalaxy.com/barpartners) are a smart shortlist if you’re closer to that side of the metro.

East LA and the El Tri scene

For Mexico matches — and for any Liga MX viewing — East LA is the densest supporter neighborhood in the United States. Boyle Heights, Huntington Park, El Sereno, and the broader East LA area run watch parties out of family-style restaurants, neighborhood bars, and panaderías-with-screens that don’t show up on tourist-facing lists.

The pattern: most don’t advertise specific matches more than a few days out, because they don’t need to. The community knows. For visitors trying to find the right spot, Pitch Party’s discover map filtered to the East LA zip codes is the most current source.

For 2026, El Tri’s Group A matches will draw the biggest single-match crowds in East LA bars of any matches the entire tournament — including matches actually played in LA. Plan accordingly.

The casual neighborhood option

Not every match calls for a 5 a.m. supporter-club session or a packed sports bar. For a casual midweek group-stage match where you want a screen, food, and conversation:

  • Trophy Wife (Silverlake) — sports bar atmosphere with a quaint garden setting; gets the soccer programming right without making it a scene.
  • Backyard pubs and gastropubs across Eagle Rock, Echo Park, Atwater Village — the LA equivalent of “any decent neighborhood bar will put the match on if you ask.” Use the discover map to find the ones running listed parties.

Stadium-day at SoFi

For the eight matches actually being played at SoFi Stadium — including USA vs Paraguay on June 12 — the matchday rhythm is different. Most fans cluster:

  • South Bay / Inglewood / Hawthorne for tailgate and pre-match
  • Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach for fans staying through to dinner after
  • Downtown LA / South Park (around Crypto.com Arena) for fans who came in from the east side and don’t want to fight Inglewood traffic both directions

SoFi parking and transit are well-documented; pre-purchase parking, rideshare to a meeting point and walk in, or use the Metro K Line and walk from Hawthorne/Lennox station. Whichever option, leave 2-3 hours of slack on either side of kickoff.

Hosting your own LA watch party

LA is one of the easiest cities in the country to fill a public watch party from Pitch Party’s discover map alone. The supporter culture is broad, the casual fan base is huge, and the diaspora communities run deep enough that there’s appetite for events even for niche matches.

If you’re hosting from a bar, restaurant, or rooftop: list it publicly with photos and you’ll typically draw 10-30 walk-ins for a high-interest match. If you’re hosting from your apartment: use the hybrid approach (private invite for friends, public listing capped at 8-10 extra) so you don’t end up at 40 strangers for your first event. Create the event and you can always adjust.

Are there rooftop watch parties in LA worth knowing about?
Several downtown hotel rooftops show big matches on outdoor screens, and a handful of Hollywood / West Hollywood rooftops do soccer programming.
