All the best places to watch the Superbowl LVI 2022 in Leeds

The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, Eminem and Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mary J Blige, Budweiser and hot dogs: whatever the combo you're there for, it's going to be a night to remember.

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 8th February 2022

There's plenty of Superbowl specials to choose from in Leeds.

This Sunday, the annual Superbowl event in California will be streamed around the world and regardless of whether you're watching for the football or the half-time events, you'll need somewhere to watch all the action from.

Here in Leeds, we're pretty passionate about our sports, so much so that Leeds United fans have been voted the most supportive in the Premier League. Our excitement for all things sports extends far further than our home team, so naturally when the Superbowl comes around, we're going to make a big effort to find a screen to watch it on.

Expect plenty of pints before and during the game before watching the likes of Eminem, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar on the stage during the half time entertainment.

Given its a late night affair, and on a Sunday night, the occasion has called for late permits and extended opening hours to all our favourite bars. So head out, grab yourself a pint and seat and take in the game with like-minded fans at all of these spots in Leeds.

If there's an event to be excited about, it's Springwell's Superbowl extravaganza. You'll be well-fed with hot dogs and wings from Kerbside Kids, there'll be a whole load of draught pints available and some special American cocktails. The only thing short of an authentic US experience is a t-shirt gun, but we're told to expect some big touchdown tee giveaways. Tickets cost just £10 and include food and drink- but you'll want to get in there quickly as they're selling fast.

At the home of live sports in Leeds, the bar will be bringing the biggest night in American Football live to you through the TV and expect a firm divide between Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams at this one. Booking in advance will be essential to getting a decent seat here, though you're unlikely to be turned away if you turn up on the night as there's no tickets for entry.

There's offers aplenty at The Library, making it one of the best value Superbowl events in the city. Ordering on the app will result in a free plate of chicken wings between 10 and 11pm and there will be late night specials on energy-based drinks, including Firebombs as the game enters the early hours of the morning. Get into the true American spirit and prebook your seat with Budweiser buckets of 6 - 12 beers, a bottle of Smirnoff or you can keep the beer flowing all night with a beer tower or five litre keg of Brewdog.

Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen

One of the most popular options for the Superbowl showing has already sold out of its original tickets, but you can add yourself to the waitlist for this year's Superbowl shoeing at Belgrave. There's good reason for the sellout too: the bar will be serving all american beers, chilli dogs and loads of veggie and vegan alternatives inspired by the US games. Tickets have a strict 15 minute window, so make sure you take your seat between 9 and 9.15pm otherwise they'll be offered out to those waiting.

MOJO

Mojo is all about combining shabby New York City dive style chic with great cocktails and music from the last six decades but for one night only, the bar will be showing the Superbowl in true NYC style. As the bar is usually open until 4am, so the won't be any yawns behind the bar- but the difference here is that Jack Daniels NFL Cocktails will be on sale.

The Royal Park

As a student-favourite, The Royal Park can be found in Hyde Park serving up inexpensive drinks with all the sporting action live on TV. This classic pub will be serving up pints all night long and offering the chance for you to order Budweisers by the bucket and play a few games of pool if you get bored of the 56th Superbowl- though we doubt that'll happen.

The full route for the Tour de France Femmes through Leeds has been revealed

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson The full route for the Tour de France through Leeds has been revealed

The full details of the Grand Départ of the 2027 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift have been released - and the action will be kicking off right in the heart of Leeds.

Preparations have moved up a gear this week, with the full map of the first stage revealed, which will see the world's leading female cyclists setting off from none other than The Headrow.

Leeds will make sporting history on 30 July next year, when we host the start of the world's biggest women's professional cycle race.

When our city was added to the 2014 Tour de France route, around 230,000 people packed into the city centre, with another two million lining the rest of the Yorkshire route - so we're expecting even bigger scenes next year.

The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will move from the centre of Leeds to travel through communities including Headingley, Kirkstall, Bramley, Farnley and Drighlington.

Now, an interactive map has been published that gives people the chance to see for the first time exactly which streets will be in the thick of the action next summer.

Riders will set of from The Headrow before travelling down Briggate and Boar Lane - then they'll head via via Woodhouse Lane, Hyde Park Corner and Otley Road into Headingley before travelling west on North Lane and Kirkstall Lane.

Key roads on the rest of the route include:

  • Bridge Road at Kirkstall, which will take the riders across the River Aire;
  • Broad Lane, Waterloo Lane, Lower Town Street and Henconner Lane in Bramley;
  • Butt Lane between its junctions with Pudsey Road – near Farnley Reservoir – and Tong Road at Farnley;
  • Whitehall Road, from its junction with Back Lane at New Farnley, to Drighlington.
  • From Drighlington, the riders will cross into Kirklees and then head over the Pennines into Manchester.

Leeds City Council will be keeping people fully updated about the planning involved to host the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, including road closures and other traffic management measures.

Following its visit to Leeds, the Grand Départ of the 2027 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will run from Manchester to Sheffield on July 31 before finishing in London on August 1.

The event will make Leeds the first place outside mainland Europe to host the start of stage one of a Grand Départ for both the men’s Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

Councillor James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, said: "The Grand Départ of the 2027 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift promises to be a great occasion for Leeds and one that will raise our profile on the international sporting stage while also delivering a boost to the local economy.

“Today’s announcement of further route details is a reminder that the countdown to July 30 is well and truly on, with a huge amount of planning and preparation work already taking place.

“As part of that work, we will be doing our utmost to ensure residents and businesses have all the information they need about the arrangements for the day.

“People in Leeds are famed for the passionate support they show when the city hosts major sporting events and I’m sure this one will be no different. Roll on next July!”

A new bar dedicated to Guinness and games is coming to Leeds city centre

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Expect live music, a load of craic and plenty of Guinness at Leeds' brand-new bar.

Opening on Leeds' bustling Merrion Street, 'Love, Jackie' is the latest concept from the team behind Roxy Ball Room and King Pins.

Love, Jackie will be taking over a 7,000 sq ft space,and will be promising proper prints, late nights and plenty of Irish charm.

Pouring will be the holy trinity of Irish stouts - Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's.

These will be served alongside Leeds' own Kirkstall Virtuous IPA and a vast whiskey selection that celebrates the best of Ireland.

Games wise, try your hand at crazy pool, interactive darts, shuffleboard and karaoke. There will also be live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The opening comes as Merrion Street enjoys a new wave of investment and hospitality openings, helping bring new life to one of Leeds' best known night life attractions.

Matt Jones, CEO of Professionals at Play, said: “Everyone knows a Jackie. She’s the one who gets everyone together, convinces you to stay for another and makes sure there’s never a dull moment.

“We wanted to create a pub with that same personality. Somewhere with brilliant drinks, live music, plenty of games and the kind of atmosphere that makes you forget you were only popping in for one.

“Merrion Street is coming back to life, and we’re excited to be part of its next chapter. We think Jackie will fit right in. And because Jackie’s never been one to turn up empty-handed, the first drink’s on her."

We'll keep you updated on opening times as and when we find out, but for now you can sign up here for a pint of free Guinness. Cheers to that!
