It’s coming home! Where to watch the Euro 2024 final in Cambridge

12 July 2024

This Sunday, many of us will be coming together with our friends and family to cheer on England in the Euro 2024 final. We hope all residents enjoy the match in a safe and responsible manner.

We wish the team all the best in their quest to bring football home!

Where to watch the game?

There will be a number of venues across the city showing the final, including:

  • Baron of Beef
  • Ta Bouche
  • Town and Gown
  • The Cambridge Brew House
  • Champion of the Thames
  • King Street Run
  • The Regal
  • Revolution
  • The Grain and Hop Store
  • Lola Lo
  • BrewDog
  • Bath House
  • Duke of Cambridge
  • Prince Regent

Please note that some of these venues may be ticket only or are pay-on-entry to watch the football so please check in advance.

From 7pm till late on game day, taxi marshals will be out and Open Space Guardians will be patrolling the city centre and green spaces to ensure everyone has a safe journey home.

Will the council screen the football?

As soon as England got through to the final, the council looked into the practicalities of screening the final.

While we considered the possibility of opening up the Corn Exchange for residents to watch the match, it would have not been a quality viewing experience for a disproportionately high cost.

We are however, happy to let businesses know about the extension of licenses, which will allow premises to stay open until 1am on 15 July (full details below). We hope everyone has a good time wherever they choose to watch the game

Licencing advice for venues screening the game

The Licensing Act 2003 (UEFA European Football Championship Licensing Hours) Order 2024 allows licenced premises and clubs to open past 11pm on Sunday 14 July until 1am on Monday 15 July, for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises, or supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to, or to the order of, a member of the club for consumption on the premises.

Businesses planning to adhere to these permissions do not need to notify us or put in a request.

These premises can show the game on live TV as it is not a regulated entertainment, but must be aware that the legislation above would not cover:

  • anyone that provides amplified live or recorded music to an audience of more than 500 people
  • anyone that provides recorded music to an audience on premises not licensed for the sale or supply of alcohol
  • anyone that puts on a performance of a play or a dance to an audience of more than 500 people, or an indoor sporting event to more than 1,000 spectators
