It's coming home (again), and Leeds is getting in on the action.
The Women’s Euro Final 2025 is just a couple of days away after a nail-biting match against Italy, and whether you’re backing the Lionesses to go all the way or just here for the electric atmosphere, Leeds is the place to be.
From mega-screens and matchday menus to garden parties and beer-fuelled celebrations, the city is gearing up to bring the heat — no matter who’s lifting that trophy.
We’ve rounded up the best bars and pubs in town that’ll be showing the final live, so get ready for roaring crowds, cold pints, proper pub grub and plenty of goal-fuelled drama.

If you haven't been to Woodside yet, then you are seriously missing out. This neighbourhood bar and eatery is the place to be if you fancy having some banging food whilst watching some sport. Their Sunday roast is the best in town, so it would be rude not to order it whilst you're there cheering on the girls, right?
BOX
Infirmary Street, Leeds city centre / Otley Road, Headingley
This one comes as no surprise, BOX is a sports-lovers staple and of course they'll be showing the women's final. Expect 35 HD screens, great food and an electric atmosphere. Book your table here.
Belgrave Music Hall
Cross Belgrave St, Leeds LS2 8JP

Live from the canteen, everyone favourite multi-purpose hangout will be showing the match on Sunday. Whilst you're at it, grab yourself a couple 2-for-1 cocktails and a burger from Patty Smiths. Bliss.
If you're looking to celebrate The Lionesses in style, then Rita's is the place to be. You'll get food and drink offers all night long, and if England score first then you'll even win yourself a free mini beer.
Millennium Square
Cheer on the Lionesses in the city's official fan zone at Millennium Square, it's safe to say you won't bag yourself a better city centre atmosphere than this. Let's just hope the sun comes out.
The Original Oak in Headingley is a favourite for all ages, but if you’re a student looking for some sports action, you’ll feel quite at home at this Otley Run stop. The pub will be showing the Women's Euro 2025 Final and you can bet that there will be plenty of space in one of Leeds’ biggest beer gardens for you and your mates.
Over in Headingley, you can catch the Lionesses on the big screen with breakfast for less than a fiver – what more could you really ask for? And, you'll even get a free drink every time England score.
The Tap Room is the Beck & Call’s dedicated sports room. Complete with pool table, darts and huge TV screens for all the live games, and of course they'll be showing the final on Sunday.
We're basically half way through the year, so let's see what else we've got to look forward to...spoiler alert, it's a lot.
So far we've had everything from ice bath cafes to listening bars open up in Leeds, and it seems like 2026 is the gift that keeps on giving.
Allow us to get you excited about what's coming to the city...

This Japanese restaurant serves a menu full of sushi as well as grilled meats on sticks, sharing sides and build-your-own hand rolls. All of this is wrapped up in the most gorgeous interior, which you can see from their jaw dropping new Manchester site.
Occupying the Grade II-listed space on Vicar Lane, the three-storey building will include a 220-cover dining room, 30-cover terrace and an upstairs bar.

The UK’s oldest nightclub is in Halifax – and now they’re campaigning for a blue plaque
Thomas Melia
An all-new fundraiser has been set up which aims to crown the UK's oldest nightclub with its very own blue plaque.
Situated in Halifax, Acapulco Club, has been providing clubbers and night out lovers with live music and entertainment for 65 years.
Alongside offering 75p drinks to any guests before 11pm and a whole host of DJs playing out beats and bangers on their mezzanine-floor decks, Acapulco has created lots of happy memories too.
This West Yorkshire cultural hub attracted lots of media attention back in 2022 when the club auctioned off pieces of its spiral carpet for just £20.
Now, this Halifax nightlife institution is giving itself a massive pat on the back by setting up a fundraiser for its very own blue plaque.
Working alongside Halifax BID and Halifax Civic Trust, this living piece of Halifax history is recognising its contributions to this West Yorkshire town and clubbing culture.
Commonly referred to as "Acca", the club prides itself on "Welcoming dancers before man landed on the Moon, before the M62 motorway transformed our region, and before colour television arrived in British homes."
The cost of a blue plaque is £650 and any excess funds that are raised will be donated to Halifax Street Angels - a local charity which works alongside the night-time economy to keep partygoers safe.
Acapulco is encouraging anyone who has visited the nightclub over its 65 year period to donate and also provide any memories or photos they have shared within this venue.
Some of the famous faces that have graced this legendary clubbing hotspot include Katie Price and her son Harvey, Joey Essex, as well as an array of Love Island and Big Brother stars.
The Acapulco Club has even welcomed 80's pop royalty courtesy of a visit from George Michael... the tribute act of course.
Anyone wanting to find out more information or make a donation to the recent fundraiser set up to honour the UK's oldest nightclub Acapulco with a blue plaque can do so HERE.
