Find where to watch World Cup 2026 by country, including US, UK, Canada, Australia, and major broadcast options for fans abroad.

Asakusa is old Tokyo — temples, lantern-lined streets and the Sumida River — and the neighbouring Skytree district at Oshiage is a hotel-heavy base with direct trains from both airports. It's a great place to stay; just plan your screen, because it's quieter for sports bars than Shibuya or Roppongi.

Where to watch in Asakusa & Oshiage

• HUB Asakusa — the dependable anchor for the area, with big screens and the setup to show major matches; a handful of local sports bars sit around it.
• World Beer Museum (Tokyo Solamachi, at Skytree/Oshiage) — 150-plus beers and open late, though it's a beer hall rather than a dedicated sports bar. From Oshiage it's one stop to Asakusa for a proper screen.

Because the area is quieter at night, confirm hours and your fixture before you go — and consider Ueno (close by) if you want more options.

Make a day of it in Asakusa & Skytree

• Sensō-ji — Tokyo's oldest temple, entered through the giant Kaminarimon lantern gate.
• Nakamise-dōri — the centuries-old shopping street to the temple, full of snacks and souvenirs.
• Tokyo Skytree — observation decks at 350 m and 450 m; the Solamachi mall below has shops and restaurants.
• Sumida River cruise — a relaxed boat ride down to Hamarikyu or Odaiba.
• Asahi Beer Hall — the riverside building with the famous golden "flame" is a Tokyo icon.

Getting here & the airports

This is the best base for arrival or departure days: the Asakusa subway line runs direct to Narita (Keisei) and to Haneda (Keikyū) from Asakusa and Oshiage, so you can drop your bags and find a screen the same day.

Mind the kickoff time

2026 is played in North America, so most matches land in Japan deep overnight — often 02:00–06:00 JST for the big US and Mexico games. Many bars shut before the latest kickoffs, so check the venue's hours for that night, and subscribe to the World Cup 2026 feed so a 2 a.m. start (already in Japan time) doesn't slip past you.

Nearby

• Ueno — close by, with museums and the Narita Skyliner.
• Akihabara — a short ride for Electric Town and a big sports bar.
