Where to Watch the World Cup in Berlin: Birdie's Editor Picks

11FREUNDE WM Quartier- ASTRA Berlin

Germany's football magazine, 11FREUNDE, is bringing its WM Quartier (World Cup Quarter) to ASTRA Berlin, running from June 11 to July 19- essentially the entire tournament. This is the one for football purists and culture heads alike expect a proper fan zone atmosphere with the editorial sensibility 11FREUNDE is known for, plus the kind of crowd that will debate tactics as passionately as they cheer goals.

World Cup Watch Party- LAP x 818 Tequila

Kicking things off on Thursday June 11 from 7:30–11:30pm at Bergmannstrasse 9, LAP Coffee teams up with 818 Tequila for an opening-night watch party featuring new summer drinks infused with tequila and Mexican snacks. This is your pick for the tournament's opening night specifically- a smaller, more social setup with a strong drinks concept, perfect for kicking off the World Cup with something a little different from the standard beer-and-wings combo.

World Cup 2026 at KERB Berlin, Potsdamer Platz

KERB Berlin is positioning itself as a dedicated World Cup viewing destination at Potsdamer Platz, with bookings open for live game screenings throughout the tournament. Expect a central, easy-to-reach location with a big-screen setup built specifically for tournament viewing- a solid choice if you're coordinating a group from different parts of the city and want somewhere central everyone can get to.

Public Viewing at MAAYA Arena

MAAYA's poolside arena on Revaler Strasse might be the most scenic spot on this list. Picture a massive outdoor screen set up beside a pool, surrounded by palm trees, lounge seating, and Berlin's industrial-meets-tropical aesthetic.

FUSSBALL Exhibition Opening -SLEEK Art Space

For something completely different, SLEEK Art Space on Alexanderstrasse is opening a group exhibition titled "Fussball" on June 11, running 6–9pm, featuring work from Annique Delphine, Carlo Bellmann, Julius Bauer, and Tom Stechert. The special touch of a screening of Mexico vs South Africa starting at 9pm right after the opening. This is the pick for anyone who wants their football fix wrapped in contemporary art and a gallery crowd, a genuinely different way to mark the tournament's opening.

FOUR Pop-Up Football Retail, Viewing & Culture Space

Tucked into Ackerstrasse in Mitte, FOUR is part shop, part culture space, part viewing room. Open Tuesday to Saturday from June 9, 11am–7pm (with later closing times on match days), FOUR combines football retail with a community viewing setup.

Match Days at Manifesto- SOOT Bar & Patio

Manifesto's SOOT Bar & Patio Potsdamer Platz is going all in for June 2026 with a "Match Days" series that pairs football with serious food. Expect a relaxed patio setup, big screens, and a menu that goes well beyond standard bar snacks- think wood-fired pizza, loaded burgers, falafel, and shareable plates designed for long match-day sessions with friends. This is the spot for anyone who wants their watch party to double as a proper meal out.

And if you'd rather stay in...

Not every match day needs a crowd. If you're planning to watch from your own sofa this World Cup, let Birdie's Food bring the matchday experience to you Nigerian and fusion dishes built for sharing, snacking, and settling in for 90 minutes (plus extra time). Order ahead and let us handle the food while you focus on the football.
