A high energy football celebration at Black Lion with big screens and surround sound for the match.
If you are planning where to watch the World Cup match between the Cape Verde Islands and Saudi Arabia on June 27, 2026, the Black Lion at 14 Black Lion Street is hosting a screening for the event. The match is scheduled to take place between 01:00 and 04:00. For those who prefer to watch football in a pub setting, the venue has set up large screens and a surround sound system to broadcast the game. This provides a specific environment for following the match, distinct from watching at home, and the pub also has a heated garden terrace available for use during the night.

Regarding the logistics of attending, the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over, so you should be prepared to show identification upon entry. While the standard entry is free, the venue suggests that attendees book their tickets online in advance to gain queue jump access. It is worth noting that even with a booking, the pub cannot guarantee admission if the venue reaches its maximum capacity, so arriving early is a sensible approach to ensure you get in. The prices for these bookings are subject to change, so it is worth checking the current status before you head out.
This screening is part of a wider programme of World Cup events taking place across Brighton. The city is hosting various matches throughout the tournament, including fixtures like France vs Senegal and Spain vs Cape Verde, both at the Black Lion and at other locations such as the American Express Stadium. If you are looking to catch multiple games during the tournament, the Black Lion is one of the venues in the city that has integrated these matches into their regular schedule. It serves as a functional space for local residents to gather and watch the tournament, providing the necessary audio-visual equipment to follow the action throughout the early hours of the morning.
