The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on 11 June, bringing a month of football excitement to screens around the globe. If you'd rather cheer alongside fellow fans than watch from your sofa, here are some of the best places in Budapest to catch the action.

Szabadság tér

Throughout the World Cup, Szabadság tér becomes one of the city's biggest gathering points, where supporters can watch matches together on a giant screen in the heart of downtown Budapest. Surrounded by food stalls, drinks and a festive atmosphere, it's an ideal choice for those who want to experience the highs and lows of the tournament alongside fellow fans.

JO&JOE Budapest

Dürer Kert

Dürer Kert is one of Budapest's most energetic cultural and community spaces, and during major sporting events it naturally turns into a buzzing hangout spot. With its spacious outdoor areas, street-food style offerings and laid-back atmosphere, it's the kind of place where watching a match easily turns into a full summer evening. Grab a cold drink, settle into the garden and enjoy the game surrounded by a crowd that feels more like a festival than a traditional sports bar. Whether you come for a group-stage match or a late knockout game, Dürer's open-air setting makes it one of the most atmospheric places in the city to follow the World Cup.
