Where to find World Cup watch parties in Centre County as Team USA goes to knockout round
As the knockout rounds of the FIFA World Cup 2026 heat up, an online tool is helping soccer fans find where to enjoy the games. The site, built by the data company Dashmote, maps watch parties in hundreds of cities, including State College.
World Cup 2026 Watch Party Radar scrapes the web to find which bars, restaurants and pubs are broadcasting games, as reported by Axios. When searching for events, users can filter by location, venue type, match and even screen size. Orange dots indicate places showing all matches, and blue dots show watch parties for specific games.
With Team USA set to take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 at 8 p.m. Wednesday, nine venues made it onto the Watch Party Radar’s map for State College and the surrounding area:
- Otto’s Pub & Brewery
- Barrel 21 Distillery & Dining
- Cafe 210 West
- The Tavern
- Sharkies Bar
- Happy Valley Brewing Company
- Bonfire Old-Fashioned BBQ
- Four Ways Pub & Eatery
- Duffy’s Tavern
Missing from that list is Antrifragile Brewing Co., on East Calder Way in downtown State College, which has been screening World Cup matches.
East End Social, the pedestrian-only zone on Hiester Street, has hosted watch parties for World Cup games as well, with another watch party planned on Wednesday. Attendees should bring their own chairs.
