O2 Academy, Leeds
If you are eager and waiting, looking at your options now may be necessary as if you cast your minds back to Euro 2020, beer gardens were full and fan zones had sold-out capacity within days of release. For the fans willing to travel for a top experience you only must go as far as wider Yorkshire the nearest large venue showing England’s fixtures is at the O2 Academy venue in Leeds. All group stage fixtures are confirmed to be screened and should England advance to the knockout stages as expected the events are expected to continue in the fan park set up in Leeds. This venue can host up to 2,300 fans at maximum capacity and will be buzzing should the team bring a football home.
Carlton Tavern, York
If you wish to stay closer to home then there are a full range of pubs, sports bars, and beer gardens open for you to sing your heart out in. Booking is recommended closer to the date if this is your choice, and some will charge for the service. With countless options my top picks would either be the Carlton Tavern in Acomb they will provide multiple screens indoors and out in the spacious beer garden with cheap pub grub and drinks available to order to table and what’s even better if you are already planning your summer ahead of time booking is available for the games on their website right now.
Spark, York
Alternatively closer to the city centre there is a popular food hub in Spark York that are yet to announce that they will be showing the games in their funky shipping container venue. But should they repeat what they did during the last international tournament in 2022 it will be a wonderful place to get the beers in and pick at a wide selection of cuisines with your mates while watching the action. All orders can be made to your table and the quirky outdoor venue will packed should you be unable to travel for the summer.
