Best-of list · Sports Guide
Eight ranked Delhi sports bars, from Underdoggs screens to Connaught Place projectors and the rooms that carry both the IPL and the football.
The short answer
8 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Delhi watches two seasons at once. The IPL fills the screens through spring, then the European football weekend takes over, with a Premier League 3pm kickoff in England landing at 8:30pm here. A real matchday bar in this city clears four things: screens that no seat misses, the channel mix to find cricket and football on the same night, sound on the fixture that matters, and a crowd that turns a wicket or a goal into a roar. Connaught Place holds the central rooms, with Aerocity and the Gurgaon strip a cab ride out. These eight get the game right.
These rooms lead on screen count and channel access, so an IPL match and a European fixture can run on the same night without leaving your seat.
How we picked
We rank Delhi sports bars on screen count and sightlines, which competitions each room reliably carries across cricket and football, sound policy, and the crowd. We checked every bar here against its own current listing and at least one independent source, including LBB, magicpin and Zomato. For the wider picture, see our pillar guide to the best bars for watching the game, our ranking of the best cities for sports bars, and the Delhi sports bar hub.

Underdoggs runs HD screens and projection screens across its rooms, and Smoke On Water in Connaught Place pairs huge projector screens with a private screen for almost every table. Both can carry a cricket match and a football fixture at once.
Hauz Khas Social puts up big screens every IPL season with match-day deals, and Smoke On Water runs a dedicated cricket menu. Underdoggs and My Bar Square in Connaught Place also screen every match with a loud crowd.
The Irish House keeps the football on its screens with team-based offers, and Underdoggs carries the European weekend. A Premier League 3pm kickoff in England lands at 8:30pm Delhi time, so most football nights here run late.
Yes. PowerPlay Sports Bar on MG Road in Gurugram and Underdoggs both screen live matches for the Gurgaon crowd, an easy option if you are south of the city rather than in central Delhi.
