Watch the World Cup at The Mem!

World Cup Bristol Rovers Events

Are you wondering where in Bristol to watch England play in the FIFA World Cup this summer? Join us in the Bristol Rovers Fanzone and watch the games on our Big Screen which is new this year!

Enjoy free entry, £4.50 pints, indoor and outdoor seating, live music, burgers and fries and more while cheering on England with other football fans.

Bristol Rovers Football Club will be showing England's three group stage games in the World Cup at The Memorial Stadium.

Following the successful Champions League Final event on Saturday 30 May, where over 300 people joined to watch PSG defeat Arsenal on penalties, the Club is looking forward to welcoming more people through the Mem gates to cheer on England in their World Cup campaign. 

The group stage games will be shown on the Fanzone screen as well as in Thatchers Bar, meaning you have the choice of watching the games inside as well as outdoors.

We're keeping our fingers crossed for warm, dry evenings but should the weather not be on our side, you can always head indoors to watch the matches on our large screen in Thatchers Bar. 

While most other Fan Zones in Bristol are charging entry to watch England, there is no booking required at The Memorial Stadium for the first two fixtures. We recommend arriving early to secure a spot!

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. 

On Wednesday 17 June and Tuesday 23 June supporters can enjoy the earlier games at 6pm followed by live music on the Fanzone stage, with England's two fixtures kicking off at 9pm. 

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 limited parking will be available on-site on Tuesday 23 June as the car park has been sold for use on this date by Gloucester Cricket Club.

We look forward to welcoming you at Bristol Rovers Football Club to watch England play in the World Cup! 

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