World Cup Portugal Vs Congo DR

If you are looking for a place to watch the World Cup match between Portugal and Congo DR, The Black Lion on Black Lion Street is hosting a viewing event on Wednesday, 17th June 2026. The pub is preparing for the game, which is scheduled to run from 18:00 to 21:00. They are setting up a large projector and a surround sound system to broadcast the match, aiming to create a focused environment for the game. To accommodate the crowd, they are placing big screens both inside the main pub area and out in their heated garden, which provides a bit of flexibility depending on the weather or how busy the interior gets. It is a familiar spot for many in Brighton, and for this match, they are shifting their focus entirely to the football.

Regarding the logistics, the event is free to attend, though it is strictly for those aged 18 and over. You can pick up a ticket for priority entry, which helps with the queue, but it is worth keeping in mind that this does not guarantee entry if the venue reaches its maximum capacity. If the pub fills up, they will have to stop letting people in, so arriving with a bit of time to spare is probably a sensible approach if you want to ensure you have a spot. It is a straightforward way to catch the match in a local setting, with the pub transforming into a dedicated space for the duration of the game. It is worth noting that while the atmosphere will be centred around the match, the actual game is taking place at the NRG Stadium, so this is purely a viewing event for those staying in Brighton. Whether you are a fan of either team or just want to catch the World Cup action with a drink, the setup at The Black Lion is designed to handle the match day crowd.
