Where to Watch World Cup Matches in Door County

World Cup

Door County may be best known for fish boils, sunsets, beaches, cherry treats and small-town summer charm, but it is also a great place to catch the 2026 FIFA World Cup while you are on vacation.

Whether you are staying in Sturgeon Bay, Fish Creek, Sister Bay, Egg Harbor or Baileys Harbor, here are some of the best places to look for World Cup matches, plus nearby Door County adventures to turn game day into a full summer outing.

Best Places to Watch World Cup Matches

Husby’s Food & Spirits — Sister Bay

If you want the closest thing to a true Door County sports bar, Husby’s is probably your best bet. Husby’s calls itself Door County’s original sports bar and lists 14 flat-screen TVs inside and outside.

This is a strong option for big Team USA matches, knockout games and weekend crowds.

Kitty O’Reillys Irish Pub — Sturgeon Bay

Soccer and Irish pubs just make sense. Kitty O’Reillys promotes “live sports” and a pet-friendly outdoor patio, making it a solid Sturgeon Bay option for World Cup viewing.

This is especially good if you are staying in southern Door County or want a full meal with the match.

Door County Brewing Co. — Baileys Harbor

Door County Brewing Co. is a great match-day option if you want craft beer, a relaxed taproom and a Baileys Harbor stop before or after exploring the quieter side of the peninsula.

Call ahead for specific match availability, especially for weekday daytime games.

Bayside Tavern — Fish Creek

Bayside Tavern is a classic Fish Creek stop and a convenient option if you are staying near Peninsula State Park. It is more of a tavern than a dedicated soccer bar, so this is a good “ask nicely if they can put the match on” pick.

One Barrel Brewing — Egg Harbor

One Barrel Brewing is a relaxed Egg Harbor stop for craft beer and casual summer vibes. It is not a guaranteed soccer destination, but it is worth checking for major World Cup matches, especially Team USA games.
