Being a sports fan in Hong Kong requires a certain level of dedication. Most of the time, supporting your team means battling brutal time-zone differences, sacrificing a decent night’s sleep, and cheering at a screen in the dead of night while your neighbours are fast asleep. The good news is – you don’t have to suffer alone. The city is packed with excellent watering holes that are more than happy to host your late-night viewings, complete with massive screens, pub grub, and pints poured well into the early hours. Whether you’re gearing up for the upcoming World Cup madness or just catching a weekend match, these are the best sports bars in Hong Kong to watch the drama unfold.

The best sports bars in Hong Kong

  • Sports bars
  • Wan Chai

Head to Wan Chai Stadium for a lively atmosphere and endless pints. This sports bar has seven TV screens and two 100-inch projectors that broadcast football games, UFC fights, F1 races, and more, so you’ll have an unobstructed view no matter where you’re sitting. Aside from the sports memorabilia scattered around their venue, such as a signed Liverpool shirt, Wan Chai Stadium also has a Formula One race car replica that hangs from the roof. Mind you, the place gets packed out with footie fans whenever there's a big game on, so come prepared.

You really can't go wrong with a night out at Trafalgar. There are over 50 beers on tap at their flagship location in Wan Chai, with a spacious balcony and multiple big screens showing major sporting events like the Premier League, UFC fights, F1 races, and more. Grab a pint for just $60 during happy hour or head there on a Tuesday with your mates to enter their pub quiz.

The Blind Pig is your friendly neighbourhood pub where local residents frequent. They have multiple TV screens showing all major games and events, their food is exceptional (don't miss the BOGOF on main courses on Mondays), and their friendly staff just makes your experience all the more enjoyable. You really can't ask for more.  

  • Tsim Sha Tsui

Joe's is one of those bars that you can always rely on for a great night out – think classy, old-school American billiards bar. There are a number of TV screens across both floors, along with pool tables and dart machines, so you'll always have something to do in between matches. And if you decided to drag along that one friend who doesn't care about sports, beer pong is also an option.

With one of the largest draught beer selections in the city and a menu replete with pub grub favourites, this place is tailor-made for sports. With seats by the bar and plenty of tables, The Globe is a spacious venue with loads of TVs scattered throughout, meaning you're not huddled next to strangers staring at the same screen. It’s ideal if you want to catch a game with your mates in generally less crowded surroundings.

Our go-to Irish pub, Delaney’s is a long-standing staple that's been around for more than 20 years. This classic Irish boozer pours out quality pints in an old-school setting, where you can catch sports events like the Premier League and rugby matches on their screens. They also do a mean Irish Breakfast all day every day, along with a Sunday roast on, well, Sundays. If you're looking to catch a game but not sure if it'll be showing at Delaney’s, check their Instagram where they'll regularly post what live sporting event they'll put on.

If you love watching sports but could do without the rowdiness of it all, Jack’s Racquet Room will let you catch your favourite sporting event in a more upscale setting that pays homage to the sports rooms at prestigious recreational clubs in and around the Indian subcontinent. Sports like cricket, tennis, rugby, and more are always playing on the big screens, and a trivia night on sports, history, and entertainment is hosted every last Wednesday of the month. It's a swanky sports bar for sure, but Jack’s Racquet Room is open to all – though if you become a member, you'll have access to various perks like special prices and private booking.

In case it isn't entirely obvious from the name, Belly and the Beer knows a thing or two about pouring a cold one. It bills itself as a Belgian-inspired taphouse and restaurant, which means two things: hearty food to coat your stomach, and a beer list long enough to keep you buzzing through whatever game you're watching. Even if you can't decide, their beer tasting platter lets you choose any six beers (150ml) from the draught menu so you can play pick-and-mix to find your favourites. Apart from showing major sports games, they also have a few dartboards for when the game gets dull.

The Spot Bar is all about providing a great time for anyone who walks through its doors. Live sports? All your favourite sports channels on their 65-inch screens. Food? Everything from bar snacks and appetisers to grilled steaks. Drinks? Wines, liqueurs, cocktails, and over 12 different beers including draught on top. While it might get a little snug at times with its limited space, it does mean that you're guaranteed a good enough view of the action on the telly.

  • Café bars
  • Mui Wo

Found yourself stranded in Mui Wo in need of some sports and a cold pint? Fear not, this South Lantau pub is one of the best places to catch a sports game or two. Despite their simple setup and furniture, China Bear is down-to-earth and provides a great view of the Mui Wo waterfront. Happy hours are 5pm-9pm on weekdays and whether it's rugby, football, tennis, or boxing, they'll likely have it on their viewing schedule.
