Where to watch England vs. Argentina in Liverpool: Best pubs and sports bars for World Cup semi-final

With a place in the World Cup final up for grabs on Wednesday, every England fan will be desperate to watch the country take on old rivals Argentina.

The two will clash at Atlanta Stadium, with the game set to kick off at 8pm BST, a perfect time to celebrate with friends and family.

Unfortunately, the only scouser in the team is Anthony Gordon – Trent Alexander-Arnold was left at home by Thomas Tuchel – but there will still be plenty of places to watch the Liverpool-born winger from the city of his birth.

Here, Football Ground Guide provides you with some of the best places to watch the action unfold in Liverpool ahead of England's World Cup semi-final clash on Wednesday.

Where to watch the 2026 World Cup in Liverpool

Given the significant occasion, many will naturally feel inclined to watch the match at either a pub or sports bar.

The feeling of being surrounded by fellow fans is a hard feeling to beat, and Liverpool has plenty of options for supporters to choose from.

With that in mind, what are the best pub and sports bar options for fans?

BOXPARK Liverpool

Perhaps the best place to watch England face Argentina will be BOXPARK, found at Cains Brewery Village, Stanhope St, Liverpool L8 5XJ.

The venue is one of only two BOXPARK venues with the option of purchasing a place at a table, though keep in mind that you have to book a ticket in advance to guarantee entry in the first place. A limited number of walk-ins may be available if the event is not sold out, but the chances of that happening are slim.

At BOXPARK Liverpool, there is a bar with numerous options, a variety of food on offer and pre-match entertainment. Attendees can expect to be serenated with music from DJs, and potentially spilled drinks if the result is favourable to England.

A maximum of six tickets can be purchased per person, though prices vary, so be sure to keep up to date on the latest information on the venue's website.

The Dome

Another strong option for England fans will be attending The Dome at Grand Central Hall (35 Renshaw St, Liverpool L1 2SF).

With a strong mix of street food and live music on display, there may be no better way to spend the buildup to Wednesday's match than at that venue.

More than 1,000 fans can be accommodated at The Dome, and while it normally hosts club shows, live events and concerts, it will show screenings of every England matche at the World Cup.

Tickets are priced at £7.50, a price that includes a first drink, though demand will almost certainly be high.

The Long Shot

For a more individual experience, perhaps it may be sensible to book a trip to The Long Shot, a dedicated sports bar found at Unit 3, Britannia Pavilion, Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AD.

Spanning two floors, there are 12 screens and a large projector, meaning visitors will find it difficult to miss the action.

Those with an appetite for a something as simple as a sandwich, or something more spicy and indulgent, then The Long Shot will be a perfect option.

There is a wide selection of beers, cocktails, and whiskeys, while there are pool tables, a darts board and more.

With no shortage of pre and post-match entertainment, it is easy to see why demand for a table is so high.

If you do not want to risk missing out on a place at the bar, be sure to book as soon as possible.

DeLuca’s

For those looking for a relatively affordable night out starting from £10, then DeLuca's could be the destination of choice.

Found at 2 Concert St, Liverpool L1 4AR, England supporters will have 15 different screens to choose from. DJs operate before games, and there are also private screening booth for visitors too.

The drinks on offer cater to all possible needs, and there are still a number of bookings available.

Perhaps those looking for a last-minute booking will find their needs satisfied here, though there could be a number of supporters looking to reserve a spot the closer it gets to kickoff.

Bierkeller Liverpool

Seen as one of the most energetic fan venues, The Bierkeller – located at 6-8 Thomas Steers Way, Liverpool L1 8LW – is a strong choice.

England games are shown on giant screens, and to keep fans occupied, there is also live music alongside other matchday entertainment.

Big crowds are expected, but luckily there is great food and drink on offer, though there are different choices to be made in regard to where you want to watch England.

The Bierkeller Hall itself is £15 per person and a place can be claimed via walk-ins, while the Shooters Sports Bar will set you back £25, but visitors will get a reserved seat and a drink.

Either way, the best way to make sure you get the best seating and viewing experience is to book in advance.
