Sports Bars with Multiple Screens

If you’re looking for a classic match-day atmosphere, high energy and several games on at the same time, Uppsala’s sports bars are a safe bet. These venues bring sports fans together to follow everything from football and ice hockey to major tournaments and playoffs. For popular fixtures, it’s wise to book a table well in advance, especially when Sweden is playing or when the tournament reaches its most exciting stages.

If you prefer a more gaming-inspired setting, Kappa Bar is a popular choice, where live sports share the spotlight with esports and gaming culture.

Pubs with a Football Atmosphere

If you prefer a more laid-back evening, a pub showing the matches may be just what you’re looking for. Expect a warm and lively atmosphere where football is the focus, but where good company is often just as important as the result on the pitch. During major tournaments and high-profile fixtures, venues fill up quickly, so consider booking a table to secure a good spot.

At Pitcher’s Uppsala, you can enjoy the match in a traditional pub setting with good food, drinks and a vibrant atmosphere. Puben Uppsala is another popular option for watching football with fellow supporters, offering a relaxed environment where it’s easy to settle in and enjoy the game.

Outdoor Alternative: Aktivt Uteliv

Would you like to combine the excitement of the World Cup with fresh air and a summer atmosphere? Then Aktivt Uteliv might be your bet choice. Here, you can watch World Cup matches outdoors in a relaxed setting where the sporting experience is complemented by activities, food and social gatherings.

It’s an excellent choice for anyone wanting to bring friends together, make the most of a summer evening – or late night – and experience the tournament’s biggest moments on the big screen. With its unique outdoor setting, Aktivt Uteliv offers a refreshing alternative to the city’s sports bars and pubs during the summer World Cup celebrations. But remember – it’s bit of the beaten path, located in the southern parts of Uppsala, so plan your trip accordingly!

Good to know

  • Book a table well in advance – especially for Sweden matches and other high-profile fixtures, as many venues fill up quickly.
  • Arrive early – many venues open earlier for major matches and offer pre-match events and activities before kick-off.
  • Late-night matches may be affected by opening hours – check organisers’ websites and social media channels for the latest information on late fixtures and any schedule changes.
  • Plan your journey home – if the match ends late, it’s a good idea to check public transport schedules or other travel options in advance.
