Public Viewing in Zurich for World Cup 2026: Where to Watch
Good news for Switzerland: SRF shows all 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup live — on TV, on srf.ch/sport and in the SRF Sport app, free. And Switzerland's three group games each kick off at 21:00, in the evening. Plenty still falls deep in the night (the tournament's in North America), though. Here are the best public viewings and sports bars in Zurich — plus how to tip from your phone along the way.
Stand: 2026-06-06 · World Cup 2026: 11 June – 19 July. Coverage: every match live on SRF.
The big public viewings
- MAAG Halle (Hardstrasse 219) — shows Switzerland's group games at the partner venue "Moyo" across the road (13, 18 and 24 June); from 28 June, almost all matches play at the MAAG Halle itself.
- Frau Gerolds Garten (Geroldstrasse 23) — a summer spot in Kreis 5 with a screen and garden vibe.
- Café Europa (Lagerstrasse 22) and Zum glatten Köbi (Kochstrasse 2) — cosy venue options with coverage.
For Switzerland's games only, The Studio (Dufourstrasse 23) and Exil (Hardstrasse 245) — perfect if the Nati is all you need.
For the night games
Switzerland's 21:00 games are relaxed — but for the kickoffs between midnight and 6am you need a sports bar that's open late. Le Calvados (a bar sportif on Idaplatz) is built for live sport; for the very latest games, check the opening hours first.
Switzerland's games
Switzerland are in Group B; all three group games kick off at 21:00 (13, 18 and 24 June) — comfortably in the evening. Opponents, group and forecast are in our Switzerland Group B analysis.
