Florida has always been a soccer state, it just took the rest of the country a while to notice. Inter Miami’s 2025 MLS Cup win put the spotlight on South Florida, but the network of dedicated soccer bars running EPL on Saturday mornings, La Liga on Sunday afternoons, and Champions League on Tuesday nights stretches from Pensacola to Key West. This has only built stronger MLS-affiliated bars. This summer's FIFA World Cup in the United States makes the network more important than ever.
I've been tracking Florida's sports bar scene for years for all sports, so I'm looking to build lists for the World Cup and annual league schedules. Venues confirmed as permanently closed have been excluded or noted as best as possible.
This is a growing list, and we want your help improving it. If your local soccer bar isn't here, whether it's a neighborhood Irish pub in Tallahassee or a Latin sports bar in Hialeah, drop a comment below. This guide covers Inter Miami's home market in South Florida and expands statewide to cover Central Florida, the Tampa Bay area, the Space Coast, the Palm Beach corridor, and the Gulf Coast.

La Tropical is the official Inter Miami CF watch party venue, confirmed across multiple club press releases and the Heineken Pub Partner program. Live broadcasters have appeared here for playoff events, and the club has run jersey raffles and halftime trivia as part of the official watch party format.

Grails markets itself directly as the Inter Miami watch party destination in Wynwood, covering every game format, MLS regular season, Cup competitions, international friendlies, and the FIFA Club World Cup. The sneaker-themed indoor lounge with rare kicks on display alongside a spacious Miami Vice outdoor patio makes this one of the most distinctive sports bars in Miami. Brand-partnership events have included complimentary drinks for the first 50 fans and free movie ticket giveaways tied to Inter Miami matches.

The Brightside is a Manhattan-style corner bar that has become the official home of the Miami Red Devils, the local Manchester United supporters club. First Touch magazine, which has been documenting soccer bars for over three decades, lists this as one of Miami's premier soccer venues. The supporter club presence means the early-morning EPL viewing experience is reliable.

An Irish pub at the Pike near the Long Beach Convention Center, with sports, whiskey, and Guinness on tap, imported directly from Dublin.

Brickell's only dedicated sports bar with 70-plus beers on tap, outdoor mangrove seating, and a Latin-influenced menu that reads more like a Miami restaurant than a typical sports bar. Dog-friendly outdoor tables and a central Brickell location make it one of the more versatile venues in Miami for Inter Miami watch parties and international soccer. The name is the area code, and the venue leans into local identity.

More than 20 years at the same Coral Gables address. Fritz & Franz claims the largest indoor screen in Miami, and the European beer hall format, communal long-bench seating, schnitzel, bratwurst, Bavarian brews, creates a soccer atmosphere that predates the Inter Miami era by a long stretch. This is where the Miami soccer community was watching La Liga, Champions League, and Bundesliga before most of the venues on this list existed.

One of two official Inter Miami CF Heineken Pub Partner locations confirmed by the club. The Hollywood Boulevard Irish pub was named alongside La Tropical as an official watch party venue for the 2022 MLS playoffs against NYCFC, with Heineken and La Tropical beer specials running on match days. For Broward County fans who don't want to drive into Miami, this is the verified Inter Miami home base.

Waxy's is highly rated in the press as the go-to Fort Lauderdale soccer pub for early Premier League viewing. The 10AM Saturday and 9AM Sunday opening times are specifically cited for EPL coverage, which tells you this is a venue built around the soccer calendar rather than adapted for it.

Inter Miami selected Tin Roof as the official 2025 MLS Playoffs watch party venue for the Round One series against Nashville SC. The club ran a structured event with free Heineken drink tickets for the first 200 arrivals, a halftime raffle, DJ entertainment, and fan activations. The Brightline Fort Lauderdale station is within walking distance, making this the easiest no-drive venue for fans coming from Miami or Palm Beach.

Lion and Eagle ranks as one of Florida's best soccer pubs, and the detail that it hosts both the Manchester United and Manchester City supporters clubs of South Florida is genuinely unusual. Most dedicated EPL pubs pick a lane, but Lion and Eagle has somehow kept both Manchester clubs happy.

The Irishmen is a neighborhood sports bar in Boca Raton that doubles as the home of the local Arsenal supporters club. First Touch describes it as offering great ambience and top-notch food alongside the soccer programming. For Arsenal fans in Palm Beach County who want an organized match-day experience with fellow Gooners rather than watching alone, this is the confirmed venue. We’ll see how the World Cup plays out when tickets are insanely expensive and Sports Bars are the gathering spot !!!!!!!!

DAS Biergarten in Jupiter is the Palm Beach County equivalent of Fritz & Franz, a German beer garden format that draws the soccer crowd precisely because it doesn't try to be a generic sports bar. First Touch specifically calls it out for World Cup, La Liga, and EPL coverage, which is the exact programming mix that matters in summer 2026. The Town Center Drive location in Jupiter puts it in the northern Palm Beach corridor, serving a market that doesn't have many dedicated soccer venues.

The Irish Brigade offers comfort food, live entertainment, and a home for the local Liverpool supporters club in Lake Worth Beach. For Reds fans in the Palm Beach area, this is the confirmed match-day base. The live entertainment programming runs alongside the soccer calendar, making it a fuller night out than a pure sports bar.

The Harp & Celt has been a Downtown Orlando soccer institution for over 15 years. It opens early for all Liverpool games, and GoodRec describes it as running the Soccer Republic. With multiple screens covering matches from EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and MLS, this is Orlando's most established soccer-specific venue. Fish and Chips alongside authentic Irish hospitality are the menu anchors.

Murphy's is the home of soccer in Orlando and listed it as host to Tottenham, Manchester City, and the Orlando City Lions supporters clubs simultaneously, a range that covers EPL, MLS, and the international soccer spectrum. The British Tavern format with great Fish and Chips makes it a genuine English pub experience on International Drive.

Lucky Leprechaun is the home of The Orlando Celtic Supporters Club, one of the larger Scottish football supporter groups in Florida. The International Drive location puts it in Orlando's tourist corridor, but the Celtic supporter club base gives it a specific soccer identity that tourist-facing bars typically lack.

MacDinton's calls itself the Home of Soccer in Tampa, and the list of supporters clubs based here backs the claim: Newcastle United (Toon Army), Arsenal (Gulf Coast Gooners), Manchester United, Manchester City, and West Ham United (Tampa Hammers) all call this pub home. First Touch confirms all five, which makes MacDinton's the most supporter-club-dense soccer bar in Florida and one of the most dense in the entire American Southeast. The Irish Egg Rolls and English Breakfast are on the menu.

Hattricks opened in 1997 in Downtown Tampa and has been running continuously ever since, which makes it one of the longest-established sports bars in the city. It sits a short walk from Amalie Arena, and while its primary identity is as a Tampa Bay Lightning bar, the venue shows international soccer including EPL and Champions League. Tripadvisor reviews specifically mention the staff accommodating European football requests, including showing the UEFA Women's Euro finals at a patron's request.

Harbor Tavern is a Mediterranean-style tavern on Destin's harbor that flies the Manchester City flag and is loved by locals and traveling fans alike. In a stretch of the Gulf Coast where dedicated soccer venues are rare, this is the verified anchor for EPL and international football in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area. The harbor location and Mediterranean aesthetic make it a distinctive environment for watching European football with the emerald Gulf in the background.

O'Riley's is the Gulf Shore home of the local Tottenham supporters club, alongside darts, billiards, and a patio. For the Florida Panhandle, this is the verified anchor for EPL and international soccer in Pensacola. Palafox Street is the heart of downtown Pensacola, putting it in the city's most active dining and nightlife corridor.
Florida's soccer bar network is more developed than most visitors, and many residents, realize. The venues on this list are not sports bars that happen to show soccer. They are places built around the game, organized by supporter clubs that meet every weekend, and run by staff who know what early-morning kickoffs and 90-minute formats require from a kitchen and a tap system.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to the United States this summer, with matches across the country. Several venues on this list- La Tropical, Fritz & Franz, MacDinton's, Harp & Celt, Waxy's, and DAS Biergarten - have a documented history of World Cup programming. That's where to start when you're planning where to watch the tournament in Florida.
Inter Miami CF won the 2025 MLS Cup and will carry the La Familia community into 2026 with a roster still anchored around the best player in the world. The South Florida venues on this list are where that community watches when they're not in the North Stand at Nu Stadium. If your neighborhood soccer bar isn't here, let us know.
