$$$
Hong Kong's most famous sports bar, running since 1993 and still the benchmark for live sport in the city. Thirty screens across two floors cover every major fixture, from Premier League Sunday morning kickoffs to late-night American football. The beer list runs 18 taps deep and the kitchen stays open well past midnight. Lan Kwai Fong's longest-running institution deserves its reputation. Premier League
$$
A Wan Chai staple with the kind of lived-in atmosphere that no new build can replicate. Carnegie's draws a mixed crowd of expats, local sports fans and visiting supporters who fill the place for Premier League and rugby international weekends. Good value pints, a long food menu and screens in every corner. The rooftop terrace fills fast on race days at Happy Valley. Rugby
$$
Central's go-to for proper pub-style sport watching. The Globe screens every major fixture with crisp audio and a seating layout designed for actual viewing rather than just incidental watching. Their selection of imported ales is the best in the area and the kitchen produces reliable bar food throughout service. Book the booth section for big-match weekends to guarantee a prime spot. Craft Ale
$$
Wan Chai's compact but fiercely loyal sports bar, built around a central bar and multiple screens positioned so every seat gets an unobstructed view. The Headquarters crowds out for Hong Kong rugby sevens season like nowhere else in the city. Staff know their sport and the beer stays cold. No frills, no pretension — just reliable live viewing in a solid neighbourhood venue. HK Sevens
$$
One of Wan Chai's most characterful venues, combining a genuine love of sport with proper pub culture and a selection of Carlsberg, Guinness and local Young Master on tap. The Old China Hand screens British and European sport live without the premium prices of hotel bars. The upstairs mezzanine is the spot for rugby and football evenings when the ground floor reaches capacity. Guinness
$$
American sports territory in the heart of Wan Chai. Coyote specialises in NFL, NBA and MLB coverage with the kind of late-night scheduling that fits the time zone naturally. The Tex-Mex food menu is one of the better sport-watching kitchens in the city and the frozen margaritas are a reasonable concession to the heat. Gets genuinely loud for Super Bowl Sunday. NFL
$$$
The smartest option for sports watching on the Admiralty side of Central, installed in Pacific Place since 1992 and still drawing a loyal crowd who appreciate the comfortable seating, excellent burger menu and reliable American sports programming. Dan Ryan's is particularly strong for Chicago-based sport and NBA playoffs. The booths accommodate groups of up to eight without crowding. NBA Playoffs
$$
A Wan Chai institution that covers both live music and live sport under the same roof, which makes the programming schedule worth checking before you turn up. Sport nights pack the venue for Champions League and Premier League; band nights skew younger and louder. Friendly bar staff, honest pricing and no attitude. One of the few bars in Hong Kong where the locals and expats mix naturally. Champions League
$$
The craft beer scene meets sports viewing at this Sai Ying Pun taproom, where 20 rotating local and imported taps sit alongside a full screen setup for Premier League and Premiership rugby. The crowd here cares about what's in their glass as much as what's on the screen. Young Master and Gweilo on tap most weeks. Arrives early for match days to secure a barstool with a direct screen line. Craft Beer
$$
Wan Chai's Irish pub anchor, predictably strong on GAA, Six Nations, rugby union and Premier League. The Blarney Stone is the kind of place that takes sport seriously enough to get the broadcast schedule right and opens early for early-morning European kickoffs. Guinness poured correctly, whiskey selection that goes beyond Jameson, and a straightforwardly welcoming atmosphere for visiting supporters. Irish Pub
$$
The Kowloon side's answer to the Wan Chai cluster, Stormies is the best-run sports bar across the harbour and worth the MTR ride for major fixtures. Consistently good screens, craft beer on tap and a kitchen that handles the post-match hunger reliably. Regular function bookings for corporate sports watching are available through their events team. Kowloon
$$$
Named for the obvious reason and serious about it. The Jockey is Central's dedicated horse racing bar, screening every meeting from Happy Valley and Sha Tin alongside global racing from the UK, Australia and Ireland. The atmosphere on Wednesday evening Happy Valley race nights rivals the track itself. Food is solid, the wine list is longer than you'd expect, and the racing knowledge behind the bar is genuine. Horse Racing
$$
Unpretentious Wan Chai Irish pub with the full Premier League and Champions League calendar blocked out months in advance. McSorley's draws a dependable crowd of rugby and football fans who appreciate that the screens are big, the Guinness is cold and the bar food arrives without fuss. The back area fits private sports viewing groups of up to 30 for tournament season bookings. Champions League
$$$
The Excelsior Hotel's ground-floor pub is one of Hong Kong's oldest licensed premises and still one of its most reliable sports viewing spaces. The Causeway Bay location makes it a natural choice for racegoers heading to Happy Valley on Wednesdays. Well-organised screens, a broad draft selection and table service that actually works during busy fixtures. Dress code is smarter than the average sports bar. Hotel Bar

Bar 109 has anchored 109 Lockhart Road in Wan Chai since 2006, a step from Wan Chai MTR and built around live sport. A 180 inch projector and a wall of screens carry the Premier League, NFL, UFC and F1, and it runs Hong Kong's longest open-mic night. Order: a bucket of beers for the late kickoffs. Best time: a weekend match, open until 4am.

The local view
Sport runs deep in Hong Kong, from the roar of the Hong Kong Sevens each spring to midweek racing at Happy Valley. Add a large Premier League following and you get a city that treats a late kickoff as a reason to stay out.
European football lands here in the late evening or after midnight, since Hong Kong runs seven to eight hours ahead of the UK. The best sports bars run long and stack up screens. Most cluster in three areas: Wan Chai, Central with Lan Kwai Fong, and Tsim Sha Tsui across the harbour in Kowloon.
All three areas sit on the MTR, so hopping between venues for back-to-back matches takes minutes. Below are the rooms we rate for atmosphere, screens and a steady feed.
The first test is the feed. A strong Hong Kong sports bar carries the Premier League, rugby and racing, with sound on the main match and enough screens that no seat misses the action.
Location matters because of the hours, with Wan Chai drawing the football crowd late into the night, Lan Kwai Fong and Central keeping the weekend energy going, and Tsim Sha Tsui serving Kowloon-side fans who would rather not cross the harbour after midnight.
Timing shapes everything else. With European kickoffs arriving in the small hours, the venues that earn loyalty stay open past last orders elsewhere and keep the kitchen going. Proximity to an MTR station helps once trains stop, and a proper crowd for the Sevens or a big derby turns a good pub into a great one.
Hong Kong rewards fans who do not mind a late night. For football, start in Wan Chai and drift toward Central if the mood turns social, while Tsim Sha Tsui covers you on the Kowloon side. Pick a bar close to an MTR station, check the kickoff in Hong Kong time before you head out, and build a whole day around the Sevens weekend.
Good to know
Wan Chai holds the densest run of late-night football bars, with Carnegie's and The Wanch among the familiar names. Central and Lan Kwai Fong pull the weekend crowd, while Tsim Sha Tsui covers Kowloon-side fans. See the full lineup on our Hong Kong guide.
Wan Chai is the traditional pick for football, since a cluster of bars sit within a short walk and stay open late. Central and Lan Kwai Fong suit a bigger night out, and Tsim Sha Tsui is the Kowloon-side option. All three connect by MTR, so moving between them takes minutes.
Yes. The Premier League draws a large local following and shows across the city's sports bars, though evening and weekend kickoffs land late at night because Hong Kong runs seven to eight hours ahead of the UK. Rugby is easy to find too, especially around the Hong Kong Sevens, when pubs like The Globe and Old China Hand fill early.
The 2026 World Cup is hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, so matches broadcast in the early morning and overnight in Hong Kong time. Sports bars in Wan Chai, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui set their hours around the fixtures. For more, read our World Cup viewing guide.
