Where Dallas Goes To Watch Soccer
The score on the best British-style sports pubs in Dallas.
FIFA World Cup 2026™ might be over, but the beautiful game goes on. Dallas is home to some of the most passionate soccer fans in the country, gathering in pubs across the city to cheer on their chosen Premier League teams every weekend. If you’ve caught the football bug during the international action this summer, there’s no need to kick the habit. Simply pick a Premier League team, set your alarm clock and join the early morning crowds at these welcoming venues.
THE HARWOOD ARMS
2850 N. Harwood Street. 214-273-5151
Arguably the best “footie pub” in Dallas, the Harwood sits conveniently between downtown and Uptown - and is always packed on matchdays. The official home of Chelsea (and Bayern Munich) supporters in the Big D, it has indoor and outdoor watching spaces – and one of the best brunch menus in town. (Just beware the quirky “Wheel of Misfortune” behind the bar: once that starts spinning, heads swiftly follow).
Official Supporters Group: Chelsea FC.
NFL Equivalent: LA Rams: A big-market, glitzy club unafraid to spend big, trade aggressively and swing for high-profile stars.
Colors to wear: Blue/white
Order this for matchday breakfast: Full English Breakfast: A perfectly balanced morning smorgasbord - including the all-important baked beans.
THE LONDONER MOCKINGBIRD
5321 E Mockingbird Lane. 214-823-2211
Not to be confused with its sister pubs in Addison and Colleyville, The Londoner in Mockingbird Station is big, loud and stuffed with soccer memorabilia. There are so many screens here that every match is shown, in competing corners of the bar. Fans of all persuasions come here but technically this is Arsenal territory, with North Texas “Gooners” loudly cheering on the pride of North London together.
Official Supporters Group: Arsenal
NFL Equivalent: San Francisco 49ers: An historic, powerhouse renowned for playing stylish, aesthetically pleasing attacking football, and always being among the championship contenders.
Colors to wear: Red/white
Order this for matchday breakfast: Scotch egg: The classic British snack of a hardboiled egg encased in pork sausage and breadcrumbs, served here with delicious strawberry-Jalapeño jam.
BLACKFRIAR UPTOWN
2621 McKinney Ave. 214-953-0599
A popular hangout in a quaint wood-framed house on lively McKinney Avenue, the Blackfriar is hard to miss with all the flags fluttering outside. But the only colors that matter, as far as Premier League fans are concerned, are those of Manchester United. This is the official home of the Dallas Reds – who enjoy their football right here in this Uptown favorite, with its hearty pub grub and relaxed vibe.
Official Supporters Group: Manchester United
Colors to wear: Red/white
NFL Equivalent: Dallas Cowboys: Among the most valuable sports franchises on the planet, but carrying past glories through a prolonged title drought.
Order this for matchday breakfast: Bangers and mash: You can’t go wrong with this perennial crowd pleaser, especially when served with the Blackfriar’s rich onion gravy.
THE IRISHMAN PUB
18101 Preston Road. 972-733-1852
A cozy, unpretentious neighborhood sports bar in Far North Dallas, The Irishman is serious about its Spurs loyalty – and we’re not talking about San Antonio’s NBA team. This pub is filled with Tottenham Hotspur scarves, shirts and framed photos, as well as dozens of the team’s diehard fans on matchdays. Come for the cheeky banter and join the throng – just don’t wear an Arsenal shirt whatever you do.
Official Supporters Group: Tottenham Hotspur
Colors to wear: White/Navy Blue
NFL Equivalent: Buffalo Bills: A team featuring world class talent and playing in a legendary stadium, which might be jinxed when it comes to securing the ultimate title.
Order this for matchday breakfast: Fish and chips: The archetypal English dish is battered to crisp perfection here (and served with
homemade tartar sauce).
THE OLD CROW
1911 Greenville Ave. 214-828-2769
A legendary Dallas dive bar, The Old Crow enjoys iconic status on Lower Greenville Avenue - the walkable, tree-lined East Dallas street that is home to some of the city’s best nightlife. Early on Saturday and Sunday mornings this is one of the few establishments open, thanks to the loyal Premier League fans who flock here for the gams – particularly the Dallas Original Fulham Supporters Club. One of Fulham’s greatest ever players, Clint Dempsey, is from Texas after all.
Official Supporters Group: Fulham
Colors to wear: White
NFL Equivalent: Jacksonville Jaguars: Both franchises are owned by billionaire Shahid Khan, and both tend to be overshadowed by their noisy neighbors, while quietly building for the future.
Order this for matchday breakfast: It’s BYOF at the Old Crow, which is no problem with the awesome Abby’s Bagels next door. (The ‘Dallasite’ sandwich here is a must order: egg, bacon, avocado and jalapeño spread on a jalapeño cheddar bagel).
QUEEN’S HEAD
2713 Elm Street. 214-252-7593
Dallas’ latest British pub is so new that it hadn’t been claimed by a supporters’ group at the time of writing, but surely it’s only a matter of time before Liverpool or Manchester City fans stake their claim. Until then, it’s a brilliant spot for football watching of every flavor, from the cinema-size screen in the front room to the cozy leather armchairs in the wood-paneled nook at the back.
Official Supporters Group: TBC
Colors to wear: Anything goes.
NFL Equivalent: An international game in London.
Order this for matchday breakfast: Sausage rolls: The quintessential English football snack, served here with impeccably flaky pastry.
