Where else can I watch the games?
If you don’t have access to all the games at home or you want to soak up the atmosphere outside, lots of venues are screening the matches. Locally, you should check out pubs, restaurants and late-night shops in your area.
Another great way of enjoying the action is heading to fan zones. All of the 10 cities hosting matches have their own fan areas set up that are screening all the action. You can also grab a beer and food to make the most of the experience.
