Though we might generally prefer a different kind of football (let’s call it soccer for the purposes of this article) in London, that doesn’t stop the Super Bowl from getting plenty of love each year. Here’s the thing, though: due to the competition taking place in the States kick-off is near midnight on Sunday, February 9. Play then goes on until the early hours of Monday (yes, Monday) morning. Despite that, plenty of spaces get packed out for special viewings each year across the city.
And with Kendrick Lamar performing during the half-time show, you won’t want to miss any of it. Kansas City Chiefs took the Super Bowl last year in a hard-fought win against the San Francisco 49ers, and they’ll be hoping to make it a back-to-back victory when they come up against the Philidelphia Eagles this time around. Whether you’ve got a dog in the fight or are just tuning in for the halftime fun, here are some of the best places in London to watch Super Bowl LIX.
1. The Hippodrome, Leicester Square
If I were a betting person, I’d say this might be the top spot to watch the game. That may or may not be because it’s a casino, but The Hippodrome is undoubtedly going to throw a great watching party. It doesn’t hurt that they’re already open 24/7, given how late the match will run! The casino will be showing the action on a massive 10-metre screen in their Lola’s Underground venue. You’ll get undefeated shots of both the gameplay and the half-time performance, with plenty of Super Bowl snacks and ice-cold beer for the full experience. You could even up the ante by enjoying an impressive tomahawk steak dinner at Hippodrome’s Heliot Steak House before settling in for the football action. Book your spot here.
📍 Cranbourn Street, WC2H 7JH. Nearest station is Leicester Square.
2.TOCA Social, The O2
London’s immersive football bar is turning its attention to the American variety of the sport when the Super Bowl comes around. They’re showing the action on their big screens, with private screening rooms also available. And, of course, there’ll be plenty of wings, bottles of beer, and the iconic all-American red cups to complete the experience. Get enough friends together and you can even hire out their private viewing experience! Head to their website to find out more.
📍Inside The O2, Peninsula Square, SE10 0DX. Nearest station is North Greenwich.
3. The Blues Kitchen, multiple locations
Best known as somewhere to go for a Friday night boogie, The Blues Kitchen will turn their attention to Sunday night for a slice of Super Bowl action. They’ll have live music from 8pm to keep the spirits high all night, with food and drinks available until late to get you all the way to the end of the evening (or morning, rather). Tickets can be bought in advance for £5, but walk-ins will also be available on a first-come first-served basis. Head to the website to secure your spot so you don’t miss out!

4. BOXPARK , multiple locations
BOXPARK tends to come alive for sporting events, particularly when the England football soccer team are playing in a tournament. But, come February 9, it’s all about Super Bowl LIX, and there’s plenty of action in store. They claim to be the ‘ultimate venue for American Football fans to unite for this late-night extravaganza’, and they sure sound like raucous affairs. Attendees can expect the requisite enormous screens, plus bucking broncos, beer pong, DJs, eating challenges, giveaways, and plenty of booze courtesy of event partner, Coors. Find out more here.

5. The Clapham Grand
BOXPARK may claim to be throwing the biggest Super Bowl screening party, but Clapham Grand will surely give them a run for their money. Following a sell-out screening last year, they’re back for 2025 and already almost completely sold out again! Fret not, because there are still some tickets left if you act fast. And if you manage to get in, you’ll be blessed with plenty of beer, as well as hearty grub from wing connoisseurs Thunderbird Chicken all night long. And if that wasn’t enough, attendees will be entertained with a live cheerleading show and confetti cannons. Not your average at-home viewing experience, in other words. Find out more about the night here.
📍 21-25, The Clapham Grand, St John’s Hill, London SW11 1TT. Nearest station is Clapham Junction.
