Every four years, soccer fans around the world head to their TVs, laptops, and phones to cheer on their favorite teams for World Cup football. While it’s not always ideal to watch early morning matches with friends, there’s something to be said about trekking to destination bars and restaurants filled with enthusiastic fans regardless of what time the games are. This year’s World Cup kicks off in host country Qatar on Sunday, November 20, and runs through the finals at 10 a.m. on December 18. Here’s where to watch matches around NYC.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.
