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.
It's been a very busy start to 2026 so far this year in Leeds, and we're definitely not complaining.
It's safe to say our city is thriving, we've welcomed everything from shops and Italian cafes to tequila bars in just two months.
In case you've missed any of them, allow us to give you the lowdown of what's new in the city.
So, without further ado...
Salon Madre

Leeds welcomed its newest late-night destination last Friday, and it’s going down as smoothly as its tequila. Salon Madre is a Mexican-inspired bar with a dedicated margarita menu, fabulous food, and an atmosphere that’ll make you want to get up dancing almost immediately. And if you fancy unleashing your competitive side, then there’s plenty of pool tables ready and waiting to be played.
A slice of Puglia has landed over in Pudsey with this fabulous Italian cafe. Nodding to his hometown of Puglia, Fabio has created the Italian experience right here in Leeds, inviting people to swing by for Italian coffee, homemade pizza slices, as well as gelato by the cone (or tub) full.
Topshop

One for the girlies… because Topshop is officially BACK in Leeds. The iconic high-street favourite has returned, taking over a dedicated space inside John Lewis inside Victoria Gate and yes, we’re already planning the outfit rotations. After Topshop and Topman disappeared from the high street back in 2021, it’s safe to say we’ve all felt the gap in our wardrobes. And of course… Joni jeans, we’ve missed you dearly.
Pollini's Pizza
Lands Lane, Leeds city centre

These guys are known for dishing out huge New York-style pizza slices for less than £4 in Leeds Kirkgate Market since 2022. And now with a second site in Leeds, the big boy slices are making their way across the city, from classic margaritas to meat feasts.
And you best believe we were the first people down to grab it, because we can’t resist a slice from Pollini's.
Pop Mart
Briggate, Leeds city centre

Pop Mart officially opened on Briggate in January, and Leeds turned out in full force with queues stretching all the way down Thornton’s Arcade. With endless blind boxes to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a Labubu girlie or obsessed with the Crybaby series, you can now get your favourites right here in Leeds.
