Where to Watch the 2026 World Cup in Naples: A Local's Guide
Watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Naples at Bridge Brew Bar. All matches live in Chiaia, craft beer on tap, two minutes from the waterfront.
The summer of 2026 brings the biggest World Cup ever — the first 48-team edition, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. For football fans in Naples, the question is simple: where to watch the matches, with the right beer in hand, in a place that actually feels like a sports bar.
This guide walks you through how to watch the 2026 World Cup in Naples, what to expect from the North American time zones, and why Chiaia is the neighbourhood to be in.
Match times and time zones
Most matches will fall into three Italian time slots:
- Afternoon (6:00–9:00 PM CET) — kickoffs from US East Coast and Canada
- Evening (9:00 PM–midnight) — prime-time matches
- Late night (1:00–4:00 AM) — US West Coast kickoffs
This works in favour of Naples nightlife: most of the action lands during the hours pubs and sports bars are buzzing.
Watching the World Cup in Chiaia
Chiaia is Naples' nightlife heart and the obvious neighbourhood for anyone looking for a sports bar with big screens, craft beer and an international crowd. Streets like Via Bisignano, Via Bausan and Vico Belledonne are home to the most popular spots for both locals and visiting fans.
Bridge Brew Bar: Chiaia's home for the World Cup
At Via Bisignano 15, Bridge Brew Bar is one of the neighbourhood's go-to venues for live football. For the 2026 World Cup we'll be broadcasting every match on multiple screens, with sound on for the biggest games, and a tap list of premium European beers — Guinness, Delirium Tremens, Stella Artois, Goose Island IPA, Leffe Rouge, Hoegaarden and Leffe d'Été — alongside cocktails and a full food menu.
The vibe is what a sports bar should be: warm, social, and switched on for the big nights. We're two minutes from the Lungomare waterfront and a short walk from Piazza dei Martiri.
What to expect from the 2026 World Cup
The 2026 edition is the largest in history: 48 teams, 104 matches, three host countries for the first time ever. Even without Italy guaranteed to qualify, the tournament will deliver the heavyweight clashes everyone wants to watch — Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Spain, Germany — all best experienced with a crowd, a screen, and a proper pint.
