Scottsdale takes its sports (and sports bars) seriously, and when a global moment like the 2026 World Cup comes around, the city shows up. Classics like Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers and Zipps are always hallowed ground for catching a match, but when you want something more tailored to soccer specifically—and the energy of watching the 2026 World Cup alongside fellow futbol fans—nothing beats a true soccer bar. This list highlights the best places to watch World Cup in Scottsdale, from beloved neighborhood institutions to huge sports-centric hangouts ready to host your next World Cup watch party.
K O’Donnells
A longtime North Scottsdale favorite, K O’Donnell’s leans proudly into its soccer reputation, even titling a page on its site “The Best Soccer Bar in Scottsdale.” Its setup lives up to the claim: KO’s subscribes to beIN Sports, offering Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, and Champions League matches on more than 75 TVs spread across the dining room and patio. 16 rotating taps and a robust food menu round things out, with pizza one of the most underrated highlights (it’s one of the best pies in the valley!).
RT O’Sullivans
Right on the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt, “RTO” brings a laid-back neighborhood vibe to match day. The wrap-around bar inside means there’s virtually no bad seat, and the dog-friendly patio offers additional viewing space. Inside, you’ll find darts, pool tables, off-track betting, and a rotating calendar of food and drink deals almost every single day. One of the most spacious spots on this list, it’s ideal for a World Cup watch party with a group.
Goldie’s Sports Cafe
Before Zipps became a valley-wide staple, there was Goldie’s. The same local family owns both, but Goldie’s came first, openings in 1993. The Scottsdale Ranch mainstay keeps its Cheers-esque roots alive with an expansive menu (from wings and focaccias to wood-fired pizzas), 32-ounce beers, and its signature Goldieritas. Huge TVs span the dining room, bar and patio, while upstairs features pool, darts, shuffleboard, Golden Tee and Buck Hunter. A family-friendly arcade room adds appeal for folks seeking the best places to watch World Cup in Scottsdale as a family.
Coach House
Family-owned since 1959, Coach House is an Old Town legend that has only somewhat recently—the past five or so years—become a soccer hub. It’s famously open 365 days a year at 6 a.m., convenient for matches with international start times. TVs are scattered throughout the indoor-outdoor space, mingling with Christmas decorations that stay up year-round, another famous touch that adds character. Seating ranges from bar stools to patio perches, with games and casual hangout nooks tucked throughout.
DraftKings Sportsbook at TPC Scottsdale
If you want a high-tech vibe with wall-to-wall screens, DraftKings delivers. This 13,000-square-foot sportsbook is polished, enormous, and designed to keep every viewer immersed in the action from first kick-off. Dozens of screens wrap the room (3,400 square feet worth, to be more precise), creating a stadium-style “video wall” just steps from TPC Scottsdale’s 18th hole. Expect a lively crowd whenever the stakes are high.
Social Tap
Located on the southern edge of the Entertainment District, Social Tap remains one of the city’s most consistently packed sports bars. With two roomy, open-air levels, both with massive patios (the lower one is dog-friendly), plus 30-some TVs, beer bucket specials, and weekday happy hour, it’s purpose-built for all-day match viewing.
Boondocks
For soccer fans who really get into it, Boondocks’ rowdy “Sunday Funday” reputation tells you everything you need to know. Massive outdoor projection screens make it easy to follow every minute of the game, and the open-air layout gives the whole place a backyard party vibe, perfect for making new friends (or rivals).
O.H.S.O. Brewery & Distillery
With several valley locations and one smack in the middle of North Scottsdale, O.H.S.O. (Outrageous Homebrewer's Social Outpost, for those who didn’t know) blends craft beer enthusiasm with a dog-friendly, come-as-you-are vibe. Which just happens to lend itself perfectly to the local soccer community. 40-plus beers on tap, house cocktails, consistently excellent food, large communal spaces and plenty of screens make it a favorite for sports fans.
Los Olivos Mexican Patio
Looking for a less crowded spot to cheer on your team? Head to this under-the-radar gem on the edge of Historic Old Town. During soccer season, Los Olivos almost always has a match airing in its back room, and you can count on staff popping in to watch the action between customers. Heaping plates of classic Sonoran dishes and some of the best margaritas in town are icing on the cake.
