Where to watch the World Cup 2022 in Edinburgh - list of pubs, how to book a table

We all know that Scotland isn’t in the World Cup but that doesn’t mean we can’t join in the fun.

Football lovers in Edinburgh may be wondering where to watch the games on a big screen with less than a month till the start of the World Cup 2022. Even though Scotland didn’t make it into the biggest football competition in the world, that doesn’t mean you can’t support other nations or even your favourite players.

And with the anticipation growing, some restaurants and pubs in Edinburgh have started using a booking system to guarantee football fans a spot inside. You might want to locate a place indoors to watch the games as this year’s World Cup is being held in the winter rather than the summer, when beer gardens were more frequent.

The first-ever winter World Cup begins on November 20 in Qatar, and the championship match is set for December. In order to ensure that you get the best seat in the house and, more importantly, that you won’t be left out in the cold, we’ve compiled a list of the top venues in Edinburgh to watch the World Cup. We’ve also included information on how to make a reservation.
