London Pubs Extend Hours for Scotland's 2026 World Cup

Late kick-offs reshape the plans

The usual government licensing extension does not cover Scotland’s group games, leaving supporters dependent on venues with special permission or existing late-night licences.

Reports say Club 360 in Tottenham will host Scotland fans for all three matches, with a licence running until 06:00, night Tube connections and a menu featuring Irn-Bru cocktails, Tennent’s, pizzas, pies and morning rolls. Tickets are already selling quickly.

The late starts are also changing the atmosphere. Rather than one central gathering point, fans will be spread across London, with venues adapting their schedules for a travelling support base that will be watching Steve Clarke’s side from the capital.

Where to watch Scotland

Several venues are offering different versions of the tournament experience:

  • The Volley, Old Street: Scotland’s matches across more than five screens, with commentary and later closing times.
  • The Scottish Stores, King’s Cross: bookings for Scotland against Brazil on 24 June, with a 23:00 kick-off.
  • Goldwood, near Bank: all of Scotland’s games across two floors.
  • The Eagle, Hoxton: every Scotland match throughout the tournament.
  • TOCA Social: screenings at White City and the O2, alongside interactive games and standing or seated ticket options.

Woodins Shades in Bishopsgate is also screening a broad selection of World Cup fixtures, offering another option for supporters in the City.

A test of London’s football culture

The spread of venues gives Scotland fans choice, but the late kick-offs will test transport, licensing and crowd management. Night Tube access could make Tottenham particularly attractive, while central venues may appeal to mixed groups of supporters.

The next major date is Scotland’s meeting with Brazil on 24 June. By then, London’s pubs will have their screens, kitchens and licences ready for one of the city’s most distinctive World Cup nights.
