Arsenal fans hoping to watch the 2026 Champions League final in London will have no shortage of options.

Whether you want a packed North London pub full of Gunners supporters or a giant-screen sports bar in central London, the capital offers plenty of venues to create a proper European final atmosphere.

Arsenal are also hosting an official screening event at the Emirates Stadium for 37,000 members and season‑ticket holders, giving supporters the chance to watch the match on home turf.

FootballGroundGuide takes a look at some of the best options ahead of Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain on 29th May.

Best Pubs and Bars Near the Emirates Stadium for Champions League Final

Arsenal Matchday Favourites

The Tollington Arms remains one of the most famous Arsenal pubs in North London. Multiple screens, a loud home-supporter crowd and a buzzing atmosphere make it one of the first places fans look for big European nights.

The Twelve Pins near Finsbury Park is one of the biggest football pubs in the area. With huge capacity and plenty of screens, it becomes packed during major fixtures.

The Gunners Pub offers a more traditional football pub feel, complete with Arsenal memorabilia covering the walls and a loyal regular crowd.

The Armoury provides a more modern option close to the Emirates, combining large screens with food and a family-friendly atmosphere.

Alternative North London Options

The Faltering Fullback is another popular choice, particularly for larger groups, thanks to its unusual layout, beer garden and lively local crowd.

The World's End in Camden works well for larger groups, while The Camden Assembly offers a younger crowd, projector screens and craft beer options.

For supporters meeting with mixed groups, The Beehive around the Tottenham area provides a more neutral football atmosphere with plenty of space.

Central London Sports Bars and Pubs Showing 2026 Champions League Final

Fans travelling into London or looking for a guaranteed big-screen experience have several strong choices.

BOXPARK Wembley, BOXPARK Shoreditch and BOXPARK Croydon regularly host major football screenings with giant screens, food stalls and DJ-led atmospheres. Major finals are often ticketed events.

Bar Kick, also in Shoreditch, remains one of London's best football-focused venues with giant screens and table football.

Belushi's has several London venues and consistently attracts large football crowds on European nights.

Other good options include Bermondsey Bierkeller, with its stadium-style sound system and large capacity, Zebrano Soho for a more stylish setting, Crown and Anchor in Covent Garden and The Merchant of Battersea near Clapham Junction.

Late Night Travel Tips for Champions League Final Night in London

Getting around London on Champions League final night can be challenging, particularly if Arsenal supporters flood pubs across the city.

  • The Victoria, Piccadilly, Northern and Jubilee lines provide the easiest access to many sports bars and viewing venues.
  • Expect stations and Tube services to become extremely busy before kick-off and after the match.
  • Book tables or tickets as early as possible, as many venues for major European finals can sell out weeks in advance.
  • If Arsenal win, expect particularly busy scenes around Highbury, Holloway and Finsbury Park as supporters gather after the game.

FGG Verdict: Where Is the Best Place to Watch the 2026 Champions League Final in London?

For pure Arsenal atmosphere, North London venues around the Emirates Stadium remain hard to beat.

If you want larger screens and organised viewing events, central London sports bars and venues like BOXPARK provide a safer option for groups.

Wherever you choose, planning ahead will be essential for one of the biggest football nights of 2026.
