It’s been a wild summer of sport, and it all comes down to this: the Women’s Euro 2025 final kicks off this Sunday (July 27th) at 5pm and whether the Lionesses roar their way past Spain in the end or not, Brighton’s got you covered with the best places to watch the action live.
From buzzy beer gardens to big-screen beach bars, here’s where to soak up the footy vibes on the coast (all are confirmed to be screening the final).
So here are six of our top spots to cheer, chant, or just chill (and/or pretend you’re not watching football) while you catch the final.
Bison Beach Bar at Sea Lanes
Set right on the pebbles at Brighton’s Sea Lanes, Bison Beach Bar is going full tilt for the Women’s Euro Final this Sunday. With big screens showing the match in the bar and clubhouse and plenty of craft beer, and cocktails, plus food from Fika and Wood Coal, this is your go-to for a laidback, sun-soaked watch party. There’s covered areas and beachy views for days – so you can cheer every goal with your toes practically in the water.
Best for: Local beer lovers and beachside footy fans

The Sidewinder, Kemptown
With two spacious beer gardens and a projector screen in the back courtyard, plus tasty Thai eats from Namo X, The Sidewinder is a local fave for a reason. Expect footy flags, pitchers of beer, and cheers echoing across St James’s Street. Plus, there’s tonnes of space inside if it rains.
Best for: Watching with a gang and soaking up the sun

The Walrus, Ship Street
Tucked just off the Lanes, this multi-level eclectic pub always delivers on match-day buzz. They’ll be showing the game across 10 screens – including some in their roof garden. And indoor-outdoor watching might come in handy with the ever-unpredictable Brighton weather.
Best for: A classic pub watch with decent beer, roasts and burgers

Horatio’s, Brighton Palace Pier
If you like your football with a sea breeze and a side of nostalgia, chips and seagulls, Horatio’s on Brighton Palace Pier is a solid shout. They’re screening the Women’s Euro final this Sunday on a huge outdoor screen right above the waves. Expect unpredictable British weather and unbeatable views.
Best for: Big game energy in the open air

The Fitz Regent, Castle Square
The Fitz Regent (ex Pav Tav for those who’ve been here longer) knows how to do a big game. Multiple screens, food and drink deals and plenty of room to spread out – it’s a solid shout if you’re in town and want to soak up the match with a loud and lively crowd.
Best for: Balling on a budget

The Terrace at the Amex Stadium, Falmer
For a stadium-level experience without a match ticket, The Terrace at the Amex is showing the final on seriously huge screens (inside and out) with plenty of seating and football spirit galore. It’s a teensy bit of a trek from central Brighton, but ideal if you want to soak up the action with fellow die-hards just a stone’s throw from the home of Brighton & Hove Albion. Foodie not footy-lover? You’re in luck as Bites by Steven Edwards and Lost Boys Chicken also have kitchens there. The £10 tickets include a drink and a shed-load of entertainment and activities.
