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.
Woodside

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.
Popular pizza pop-up Edges Pizza has opened a permanent home in Leeds city centre.
Last summer you may have had the privilege to enjoy a slice of Edges Pizza at one of their many pop-up residencies across the city.
Their longest stint was at the sun-drenched roof terrace of Green Room, and it's safe to say their pizza went down an absolute treat.
Since then they've been a little quiet, but all for good reason. Edges Pizza has just opened a permanent new takeaway under the arches in Holbeck, and it's absolutely class.

Owners Grace and Edge who are from Harrogate opened Edges two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.
They've completely transformed the space into a proper love letter to the big apple. It will operate mainly as a takeaway, but there is a small seating area where you can perch and tuck into your pie.

The menu is perfectly curated, consisting of eight pizzas and three dips. And trust us, they are absolutely massive.
We opted for the American Hot with spicy pepperoni, banana peppers and parmesan as well as the mushroom pie topped with garlic creme fraiche and chestnut mushrooms.
Drizzled and dunked into moreish hot honey, it's rivalling some of the best pizza in the city.

For now, grabbing a pizza from Edges operates through a pre-order system. Pre-orders open at 12pm the day before via their website, you can pick your collection time and then you simply have to rock up and get your pizza.
There's loads of parking available nearby and if there are any remaining slots available you can pre-order up to an hour before collection.
We've got a feeling they're going to very busy indeed.
A cafe dedicated entirely to matcha gelato has just opened in Leeds
Clementine Hall
Matcha is well and truly taking Leeds (and the country) by storm.
You're probably bored of hearing us talk about matcha, and to be honest we're getting a little bit bored writing about it.
But, this time it's different.
This is M Plus Matcha, a brand-new matcha store that's just opened near Leeds University who not only serve your classic matcha lattes but also bucket loads of freshly-churned gelato.

And to make things even better, they've got four on offer all at different percentages to suit your taste.
Soft and grassy, smooth and creamy, full and velvety…or deep and bold (they said it, not us) - this spot is truly a matcha lover’s summer paradise.Â

If you're not sure what flavour you fancy, the lovely staff are on hand to help and can offer tasters of each percentage before you commit to a cone or a tub so you're not left disappointed.
The space is gorgeously light and airy, complete with matcha-coloured walls and plenty of matcha-coloured seating for you to perch and enjoy your treats.

Right opposite the Parkinson Building, we can see M Plus Matcha becoming a fantastic hub for students to whack their laptops out for a couple of hours whilst getting their caffeine fix.
The drinks menu includes iced matcha lattes, hot matcha, matcha lemonades and loads more. Basically, if you're of the opinion that matcha tastes like grass then we do not recommend you going.
But if you love it like us, then you're in for a treat.
