We made it through to the final 16!

The Qatar World Cup 2022 has truly been bringing Leeds to life this week.

It feels as though it was only yesterday we were sat in the pub, watching the 2021 Euros games in a world that was just reopening after being locked down for months on end. In the past two years, a whole lot has changed- including the local watering holes.

Now we finally have the chance to make the most of the local sports bars and watch the world cup in the company of like-minded fans, there’s ample opportunity to grab a seat and pint around the city.

Keep reading to find out where you can watch all the action and find out if it’s coming home this year…

The Box

The Box have locations in the city centre and Headingley, so you’re never far from a cold pint of Budweiser or a bottle of wine.

Wellington Street, Leeds city centre | Open from 11am

Rebound Social is the home of all things football, so you can bet that this is going to be a sellout World Cup option. You’ll need to book a table in advance, £5 for a normal game or £10 each if England are playing, but this will buy you one or two bottles of beer and cider during the game itself.

If you’re in over the weekends, look out for their football-based bottomless brunch too!

The Original Oak

Otley Road, Headingley | Open from 10am

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.

Skyrack Headingley

St Michael’s Road, Headingley | Open from 12pm
