Where to Watch Football in Nashville: Enjoy FIFA with Food and Drinks

The world's biggest soccer tournament is here. The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 through July 19 across the US, Mexico, and Canada, and Nashville fans are planning their summer around kickoffs.

If you've been searching for where to watch FIFA with drinks somewhere that gets the atmosphere right, Jonathan's Grille has you covered. We've been a family-owned sports grille since 1999, and a World Cup is exactly our kind of event.

Every FIFA Match, Every Screen

One of the most common questions we hear is whether a sports bar will actually have the match you want on. With 55 TVs at each Jonathan's Grille, the answer is yes. Group stage days often have three or four games running at once, and we can put several of them up at the same time, with the sound on the one that matters most to the room.

So if you want the early afternoon fixture and your buddy wants the evening one, nobody has to compromise.

That's one of the easier answers to "where to watch the World Cup in Nashville." You're not squinting at a single screen in the corner. You're surrounded by the action, the same way you would be for a Titans game or a Predators playoff push.

What Time Do The Games Start in Nashville?

This trips a lot of people up, so it's worth saying plainly. Because the 2026 tournament is hosted across North America, most matches air at fan-friendly hours in our time zone, generally spread through the late morning, afternoon, and evening. That's a big change from past World Cups, where games sometimes kicked off before sunrise.

It means you can swing by for lunch and a match, settle in for a full afternoon, or make a night of it. Our kitchen runs late, too, with doors open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and 1 AM on Friday and Saturday, and our late-night menu keeps the food coming, so a late knockout game won't leave you hungry.

Food and Drinks That Keep Up With The Tournament

Watching ninety minutes of soccer works up an appetite, and this is where we like to think we stand apart from your average soccer bar. Our full menu runs deep, with crowd favorites that are easy to share around a table of fans:

• Hand-battered wings with a dozen sauces and dry rubs

• Smash burgers and fresh flatbreads

• Loaded nachos, tacos, and salads

• Signature starters like our Bam Bam shrimp and house-made guacamole

• 
  

Then there are the drinks. Our daily happy hour is one of the best in town:

• 2-for-1 beers

• Eight-dollar appetizers

• Seven-dollar mimosas

  
  

If your team plays a morning or early match, a mimosa and a flatbread are a pretty great way to start the day. If they're on later, you already know where the 2-for-1 beers come in. It's worth checking our daily specials before you head out, since they rotate through the week. When people ask where to watch FIFA with drinks and still eat well, this is exactly the combination they're picturing.

Watching With a Crew

Soccer is better loud and shared, and big tournaments bring big groups. Plenty of fans reach out asking if they can bring fifteen friends or organize a watch party for one specific match. The short answer is absolutely. Our group dining setup is built for exactly that, and getting in touch ahead of a popular fixture is the best way to lock in your spot before the room fills up.
