Best-of list · Sports Guide
The Sportsman, Buddy's and The Game lead our eight ranked Bangkok bars for watching the game, with screens, sound policy and late kickoff tips.
The short answer
8 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Bangkok watches the game late. Thailand sits seven hours ahead of the United Kingdom, so the Saturday 3pm Premier League games start around 10pm here and the big European nights run past 1am. That shapes where you go. The best rooms keep the commentary on, carry every channel between satellite and streaming, and stay open for the overseas window. These eight get those calls right, from the multi screen halls to the British pubs that keep the sound on.
These are the rooms built for game day. They carry the most channels at once and keep the sound on for the headline fixture, which makes them the safe choice when your group follows more than one match.
How we picked
Bangkok rewards picking the right room for the kickoff time. The Sportsman, Buddy's and The Game carry the most channels when your group cannot agree on one match, Chequers and The Penalty Spot keep the sound on for the leagues they care about, and the Royal Oak and Black Swan suit a longer session through the midnight European nights. The common thread is simple. They treat a late kickoff as the main event, not as a reason to turn the football down.
Every bar on this list was checked against its own current listing plus at least one independent guide before publishing, and ranked on the game day specifics that matter: screen count and sight lines, whether the sound goes on for the right league, the leagues and sports shown, the crowd, and how the room handles a late or overseas kickoff. We exclude venues we could not verify as open and showing live sport. For the method behind every game day guide, see our pillar guide to watching the game. Last reviewed June 8, 2026 .
Marcus covers bars across Asia and has watched plenty of midnight kickoffs along Sukhumvit. His game day ranking runs sound policy first, then how many screens a room carries, then whether it stays open for the late European window.
