🏈 Best Places to Watch NFL in London This Season (2025-26 Guide)
Watch NFL Sundays at Forest Road Taproom in Hackney — RedZone, big screens, locally brewed beer, and all the action live every week.
When I was 21, I spent a year living and working upstate in New York, and that’s where I fell head-over-heels for the NFL. Sundays became sacred: wings, beer, and the Buffalo Bills blaring in the background while everyone debated fantasy line-ups and playoff chances. Somewhere between tailgates and snowy Buffalo weekends, I found myself fully initiated into Bills Mafia, smashed tables and wings.
When I moved back to London, I quickly realised how tricky it was to keep up with the games. Between time zones, channel rights, and bars closing early, it felt almost impossible to recreate that true Sunday football energy. That’s why I wanted to put together this comprehensive guide on how to watch the NFL in London and share some of the best spots (including our own taproom) where fans can actually get the full experience.
London’s NFL scene has exploded over the past few years, from sold-out Wembley & Tottenham Hotspur games to packed bars full of fans repping every team from the Bills to the Chiefs. Whether you’re chasing wings, cold beer, or big screen RedZone action, there’s never been a better time to be an American football fan in the capital.
If you’re looking for the ultimate spot to watch every touchdown, look no further than Forest Road Taproom in Hackney.

Sunday is for football…..and beer.
At Forest Road, we show NFL RedZone and individual live games every Sunday across our big screens and projectors, surrounded by the buzz of our taproom. Expect locally brewed beer, American-style food, and a crowd of genuine NFL fans who know their third downs from their field goals.
We keep it casual, loud, and full of energy, the way NFL Sundays should be.
