Watch England v DR Congo at The Mem!

DRC

Bristol Rovers will be showing England's Round of 32 clash with DR Congo on Wednesday 1 July 2026!

The Mem has been packed with supporters for England's group stage tests and the Bristol Rovers Fanzone and Thatchers Bar will again be open this Wednesday for the Three Lions' first knock out stage match at the 2026 World Cup.

Those in attendance can enjoy free entry, £4.50 pints, indoor and outdoor seating, burgers and fries and more while cheering on England with other football fans.

While most other Fan Zones in Bristol are charging entry to watch England, there is no booking required at The Memorial Stadium for this final group stage match. We recommend arriving early to secure a spot!

Gates will open at 4pm at The Memorial Stadium and England's match with DR Congo kicks off at 5pm, with bars closing at 9pm at The Mem.

We have purchased some more benches to provide additional seating in the Fanzone, but seating will be limited and should we reach capacity we will stop allowing any further entry to the stadium, so arrive early to avoid missing out. There will be plenty of standing room.

All day Happy Hour will be running across our bars, with draught pints all priced at £4.50 including Thatchers Gold, Guinness, Poretti and 1883 Lager. The grill will also be open serving burgers and chips.  

Please note that there will only be very limited parking will be available on-site on Wednesday 1 July as the car park has been sold for use on this date to Gloucester Cricket Club.

We look forward to welcoming you at Bristol Rovers Football Club to watch England play DR Congo.

Please note that children must be supervised by an adult at all times.

Limited parking available at the stadium on a first-come, first-served basis.
