11 Best Soccer Bars for FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, and Austin FC Fans in Texas (2026)
Introduction
Texas is one of the deepest soccer states in the country, home to three MLS clubs (FC Dallas, the Houston Dynamo, and Austin FC) and a European supporter network that runs from the Dallas suburbs to the San Antonio River Walk. This guide to the best soccer bars in Texas covers eleven verified venues across Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Several are official supporter-club homes for Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. The rest are British and Irish pubs and sports bars with confirmed live match coverage.
With Dallas and Houston both hosting 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, these are also the bars where fans will gather for group-stage and knockout games this summer. Where a venue is a general sports bar rather than a soccer-first pub, we say so and tell you to confirm the match before you go. This is an initial list, so drop a comment if we missed a Texas soccer bar that belongs here.

Frequently Asked Questions
It all comes down to your club. The Londoner in Addison is essentially the home turf of Shed End Dallas for Chelsea fans - Blackfriar in Uptown on the other hand has Manchester United covered with the Dallas Reds, while Harwood Arms over in the Harwood District always shows Chelsea and Bayern matches. And as an added bonus, all three of 'em open way before the morning kick offs.
The Phoenix on Westheimer over in Montrose is home to the official Manchester City, Bayern and Celtic supporter clubs and they show every broadcast match, no problem. Then you got Pitch 25 in EaDo which is basically a purpose-built soccer venue right near the Dynamo stadium - also worth checking out is Velvet Oak Tavern which is the Arsenal hangout, and don't forget Hugh O'Connor's and Ron's Pub who cater to Liverpool fans.
If you're from Austin, you should probably make sure to swing by B.D. Riley's in Mueller - that's where Austin's official Liverpool FC and Austin FC supporters pub is, and they keep it on for every Liverpool match, no matter the start time. The Tavern downtown is another good spot - they've got well over 30 screens on, and it's actually pretty popular with the FC Barcelona crowd. And Black Sheep Lodge on South Lamar has the sound turned up for matches - so you might as well grab a seat and watch the action.
So, Dallas and Houston have both got the rights to host some matches at AT&T Stadium and downtown, respectively. Places like The Phoenix on Westheimer (who've already been designated as a World Cup headquarters), Pitch 25, Harwood Arms, The Londoner, and the Lion & Rose over in San Antonio have all made a point to cover the whole tournament. Just get there early for some of the bigger group-stage and knockout matches - places will get pretty wild.
So Texas is on Central time, so the standard Premier League slots land at roughly 6:30 in the morning (that's the 12:30 UK kickoff), 9 a.m. (3 p.m. UK) and 11:30 (5:30 UK) on Saturdays. Some places like The Phoenix and Hugh O'Connor's start opening up early to catch the first window - so it's definitely worth getting down to them a bit before kick off to grab a seat.
