Footballers of Miami, are you ready? The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off this November in Qatar, bringing together 32 top national teams for the first-ever tournament to take place in the northern autumn as opposed to May, June or July. The new schedule bodes well for sports fans in the 305, since fall is when this town really heats up in tandem with the NBA and NFL seasons.

Running from November 20 through December 19, the 2022 World Cup goes down in a reduced timeframe of around 29 days, so if tensions felt high before, just imagine all the alcohol you’ll need this time around to help you get through the action-packed ensuing weeks—which brings us to the topic at hand.

Footie’s more fun when you’re watching with friends, preferably at a Miami bar, taking swigs of your beer every time your favorite team scores. If you’re losing, what better salve for a broken soul than booze? Whether you’re riding high on a big win or commiserating with fellow fans, we’ve scouted all the best spots to party and watch the 2022 World Cup in Miami.
