Where to Watch NFL Games in Los Angeles

NFL in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a two-team town. The Los Angeles Rams (NFC West) and Los Angeles Chargers (AFC West) both play at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a 70,240-seat venue that opened in 2020. But the NFL story here goes beyond the home teams. LA is the biggest transplant city in the country, which means bars dedicated to the Steelers, Bears, Patriots, and just about every other franchise are packed every Sunday. If your team plays, someone in LA is watching, and there is a bar full of your people somewhere in this sprawl.

Where to Watch by Neighborhood

Neighborhood	Vibe	Best for
Hollywood	High-energy spots with big screen counts, loud crowds, tourist-friendly strips along Hollywood Blvd and Cahuenga	Primetime games, out-of-town fan groups
Downtown LA	Dense cluster of sports bars near LA Live, craft beer options, walkable from Union Station	Rams and Chargers home games, Sunday Ticket all-day sessions
Santa Monica	Beach-adjacent patios, laid-back crowd, strong brunch-and-football culture on Sundays	Early kickoffs with ocean air, casual group outings
Hermosa Beach	South Bay locals, tight-knit regulars, a handful of dedicated football spots along Pier Ave	Relaxed Sunday sessions, post-beach game watching
Silver Lake	Independent, craft-forward bars with a neighborhood feel, smaller screens but loyal regulars	Weeknight games, Thursday Night Football
Pasadena	Old Town strip with British-style pubs and gastropubs, easy parking, strong tap lists	Sunday afternoon double-headers, family-friendly game day

Hollywood and Downtown LA have the deepest concentration of screens. If you need a specific out-of-market game, those neighborhoods carry Sunday Ticket most reliably. Santa Monica and Hermosa Beach are the call when you want to watch outside. Pasadena draws a slightly older, steadier crowd, especially for the noon ET window.

LA is Pacific Time, so the early Sunday window lands at 10:00 AM PT, the late window at 1:25 PM PT, and primetime at 5:15-5:20 PM PT. Morning kickoffs mean brunch spots double as football bars. Super Bowl LXI airs on ESPN/ABC on February 14, 2027, and SoFi Stadium hosts it. FANZO lists which bars carry NFL Sunday Ticket across LA.
