Best Bars to Watch England at the 2026 World Cup: West Coast and Mountain US and Canada
Introduction
The best bars to watch England on the West Coast and across the Mountain region cluster around four host cities: Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, the San Francisco Bay Area at Levi's Stadium, Seattle at Lumen Field, and Vancouver at BC Place. England do not play a group game in the West, but West Coast kickoffs are the earliest of the tournament, so the region long-established English pubs and early-opening soccer bars come into their own. From Pasadena and the Upper Haight to Fremont and Hawthorne, this is where Saturday-morning football culture runs deepest.
Every city below leads with the strongest England option we can verify, whether that is an English pub, a supporters venue, or the city top Premier League and soccer-first bar. Where there is no dedicated England spot, we name the best Premier League bar instead. We are still building this guide and methodology, so drop a comment if there is an England bar in the West that should be added before the tournament.
