Bars & Pubs Showing Portugal Matches: Where to Watch the Seleção

Portugal's World Cup 2026 Group Fixtures

Portugal landed Group I alongside a playoff qualifier (TBC), Uzbekistan and Colombia - challenging opposition that could trip them up.

Portugal's Group Stage Matches:

• June 17, 7pm UK time: Portugal vs TBC (BBC One)
• June 23, 7pm UK time: Portugal vs Uzbekistan (ITV 1)
• June 28, 1:30am UK time: Colombia vs Portugal (BBC One)

The 7pm kick-offs for Portugal's opening two matches suit UK pub culture perfectly. The Colombia clash at 1:30am creates challenges - only dedicated Portuguese venues in Stockwell commit to staying open that late for what could decide group winners.

Portuguese Communities Throughout Britain:

London's Stockwell and Vauxhall areas contain Britain's densest Portuguese population. Pubs throughout these South London neighbourhoods become Portuguese territory during Seleção matches, with entire streets painted in Portuguese flags and crowds spilling between venues.

The Portuguese community here rivals any European city outside Portugal itself. Expect restaurants serving bacalhau specials, bars stocked with Super Bock and Sagres, and atmospheres where Portuguese drowns out English commentary.

Manchester's Piccadilly area and Jersey (Channel Islands) also host significant Portuguese populations gathering for national team fixtures. These communities can't match London's scale but deliver passionate support.

Beyond Portuguese expats, Ronaldo's farewell draws massive neutral interest. His final World Cup creates must-watch television regardless of opponent, guaranteeing full pubs for any Portugal fixture.
