The 10 best places to watch the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final 2025 in London this weekend

It’s the big one! England’s Red Roses will be attempting to match the Lionesses this afternoon, as they play Canada in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham. 

The home side might be the bookies favourite to get their hands on the trophy, but after suffering back-to-back final losses in the last two World Cup finals, it’s far from a foregone conclusion. In a repeat of the 2014 final – the last time England took the trophy home – they’ll need to conquer Canada, who knocked out six-time World Cup winners New Zealand to make it to Twickenham.

Thanks to Asahi’s Rugby Like Never Before campaign, more than 1,000 pubs across the UK (and dozens in London) have screened every match of the tournament, making it the most accessible women’s rugby tournament to date. On top of that, the final is on track to break records, with crowd of 82,000 expected to descend on Twickenham Stadium, which will make it the most attended women’s rugby match in history.  

Tickets to the fixture have long since been sold out, but thousands of women’s rugby ultras and newly converted fans are preparing to join the scrum at watch parties across the city. Planning to watch with them? Here’s our roundup of London’s greatest spots to watch every scrum, tackle and try in the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final 2025.

The best places in London to watch the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final 2025

The Official Fan Zone at Battersea Power Station

Situated in the shadow of Battersea Power Station’s iconic 103-metre tall chimney towers, London’s official fan zone for the tournament will be up and running from the start of the knockout stages until the final. As well as a huge screen showing the matches on weekends, the space features a T1 tag rugby pitch which will play host to rugby taster sessions, activations and sports-themed entertainment on weekdays throughout the two-week run. 

The Asahi Open Arms 

This fan-focused pop-up pub is taking residency at The Queen’s Head in Shoreditch for the duration of the tournament. Besides live screenings of every game, it promises to host grassroots events, like Q&As and exclusive launches. Fan collective Set Piece Social will host watch parties with DJs, arcade machine games and T-shirt personalisation stations to amp up the atmosphere for England’s matches against the USA and Australia and for the semi-final and final.  

Summer Screens at Canary Wharf

Pack your England flag, acquire your tinnies and set up camp in Canada Square Park on Saturday for an entire day of rugby-themed entertainment on Canary Wharf’s huge outdoor screen. The day will start with a showing of Scrum Screens, a fascinating documentary about the fight to establish the Women’s Rugby World Cup back in 1991, before the Bronze Medal match at 12 noon and a short BBC documentary about an aspiring Red Roses player, ahead of the big game. Plus, if you get peckish but can’t bear to take your eyes of the screen, you can simply order food to the park’s dedicated drop-off point. 

BOXPARK Croydon

With its giant screens, street food vendors and long tables, BOXPARK is a firmly established go-to for major sports screenings. In August and September, all of England’s group and knockout games are being shown at its Croydon venue. You can try your luck and walk-in on the day for free, or guarantee entry by booking online – an £8.30 ticket includes an alcoholic drink and the £11.52 ticket gets you a £10 food voucher to spend when you’re there. 

Goldie Saloon

Hackney FLINTA bar Goldie Saloon regularly screens big footie fixtures for its audience of grassroots queers, and now it’s offering a space for local women’s rugby teams and LGBTQ+ fans to watch in a safe and supportive space too. Advance booking is recommended - just drop them an email – as is the mezcal negroni. 

Young’s Pubs 

Young’s Pubs across the city will be decked out in big screens showing England’s games. The pub group is also offering a free round of crisp Asahi for all dining bookings of four to 10 people during each match. Its best venues for all your rugby needs include the Orange Tree in Richmond, the Leather Bottle in Earlsfield, the Northcote in Clapham Junction, the Nine Elms Tavern a short walk from Battersea Power Station and the Hope & Anchor in Brixton, which features no fewer than 24 screens and a huge projector in its sizeable beer garden. Our pick of the bunch? It has to be the Alexander Pope in Twickenham, the home of rugby.

Big Penny Social

The UK’s largest beer hall is a go-to for live sports, and for good reason. As well as a ginormous 16x9ft LED screen showing all the action, it offers a huge variety of snacks, an unbeatable atmosphere and plenty of pre- or post-match entertainment options at adjacent games hall Flukes. Entry is free for the big final, but it’s a popular spot so advance booking is always advised. 

Sport LDN Venues

With six sports bars across the capital, you’re never too far from one of Sport LDN’s venues, which feature ample screens, classic game day grub, a solid selection of draught beers and a great no/low menu, alongside classier interiors than you might expect from a sports bar. Our pick of the bunch is Greenwood in Victoria, a massive venue featuring a 150-inch video-wall and over 30 screens. 

Local Rugby Clubs 

If there’s anywhere you’re guaranteed a good time whilst watching the World Cup, it’s at London’s local rugby clubs – and England Rugby is encouraging RFCs across the nation to host their own watch parties for the women’s tournament. Eltham's Old Colfeians are throwing a girls rugby activity day to coincide with the final, with games, crafting, design your own kit, and a BBQ before the big game. You can find out whether there’s anything going on at your nearest rugby club here. 

Twickenham Stadium

Watch parties are great fun and all, but nothing compares to being at a rugby match in person. The Women’s Rugby World Cup final and bronze final are both happening at London’s own Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, September 27. It's sold out, but you can enter a prize draw to win yourself four tickets here. Alternatively, you could treat yourself to some fancy hospitality tickets with RWC Experiences. They start from £155 per person here.
