Venues in London, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh that are going above and beyond for rugby fans this summer.

The British &amp; Irish Lions remain one of sports' greatest spectacles. Like any action taking place Down Under, however, watching matches live presents a special set of challenges for fans.
We’ve handpicked four venues that are not only showing every game live but are going the extra mile with some special offers as well.

<h1><a href="https://www.fanzo.com/en/bar/228048/brewdog-waterloo">BrewDog Waterloo, London</a></h1>
Not been to London’s biggest bar yet? There’s every chance you won’t know that:
A) It’s a live sports cathedral with 8 massive HD projectors, 6 LED screens
B) It offers co-working hotdesks and private rooms 
And if you can work from anywhere, why not make it a world-class sports bar?
To sweeten the deal, they’re putting on a couple of special offers.
<ul>
<li>Pre-book a table for any Lions game through FANZO and get £5 pints of Cold Beer Lager until the final whistle. </li>
<li>Book a Desk Dog hotdesk package for just £15 per day. Includes free wifi, unlimited tea and coffee and a free pint of Headliner for when you’re done</li>
</ul>
Pretty handy stuff for a tour with plenty of Wednesday 11 am kick-offs, no?

Bars to Watch Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk in the USA 🇺🇸

This week FANZO continued their international expansion entry into a 6th territory.

<h1>FANZO Launches In New Zealand As Company’s Global Expansion Continues To Grow</h1>
<h3>UK-founded company extends its service for sports fans and out-of-home venues across the Tasman Sea after the successful launch of FANZO Australia in 2020.</h3>
London, 23rd October 2024: FANZO, the world’s leading platform for watching live sport in pubs, bars and fan zones, has expanded into New Zealand as it continues to grow its international footprint.
Sports fans in the country can now use FANZO’s app and website to find the best local venues that will definitely be showing their game on TV. 
Pubs, bars and restaurants can also take advantage of their market-leading B2B SAAS product that promises to save venues hours each week organising live sport whilst driving customers through the door to watch the games they’re showing.
“FANZO exists to bring people together to share incredible sporting memories in the best local venues. As a result, it’s hugely exciting to be launching FANZO in a country as passionate about sport as New Zealand”, said Jono Richards, Managing Director of FANZO Australia and New Zealand.
“From the White Ferns’ World Cup triumph to the ongoing excitement of the America’s Cup, you only have to open a newspaper this week to be reminded of just how ingrained sporting excellence and exceptional hospitality are in New Zealand’s culture.”
The platform will be launched in partnership with New Zealand Venue Co., sister company to Australian Venue Company who already work with FANZO in more than 150 of their sites across the Tasman.
“There’s no doubt this is great news for sports fans and operators in New Zealand”, said Dan Hope, Group Sports Marketing manager for Australia Venue Co. and New Zealand Venue Co. 
FANZO’s unique benefits for venues have definitely helped us deliver on our vision for creating local sporting institutions through consistently delivering exceptional in-venue experiences for live games and we’re delighted to be extending that partnership into new territory.”

Press Release: FANZO New Zealand

Round up of the key group accounts our sales teams have secured from across our global business this quarter.

The last quarter has been a particularly fruitful one for our sales teams with 2578 venues joining FANZO platforms across our 7 operating markets.
Here's a brief overview of some standout operators and notable new venues who've trusted us to make live sport in their venues more profitable, more measurable and less time-consuming.
France:
More than 250 venues joined FANZO through our partnership with Canal+, through which the leading French broadcaster fund FANZO subscriptions to new customers helping them make the most of their new content and make sure the bar is filled with sports fans from day one of their new content package.
Elsewhere, we were thrilled to welcome the sign-up of 6 exceptional sports venues across Paris operating under the Mayday Inns banner.
Germany:
Having launched FANZO Germany in September 2024, we now have more than 200 bars and pubs across the country using FANZO to advertise sport across Sky Germany and DAZN content. Venues have pointed to the seamless integration of fixtures into their website, the ease of posting games to social media, and the confirmation people are actually coming into the bar having found it on FANZO as reasons to take on subscriptions.
Ireland:
We were thrilled to add BrewDog's flagship Irish venue, BrewDog Outpost Dublin as a customer, joining the 27 sister sites we already work with across the UK, USA and Australia.
USA:
As part of our ongoing partnership with Joe Hand Promotions in the States, the leading provider of live sports entertainment including UFC, PPV Boxing, and ESPN+, we welcomed more than 2000 additional bars to the white label OnTap Sports, driven in large part by the excitement and intrigue surrounding the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. 
UK:
Adding 100 of Stonegate's top-performing sports venues to our UK platform is a major development that will benefit sports fans across the entire country. Elsewhere we've welcomed 6 JW Lees brewery sites in the North West, 10 Sixes Cricket sites as well as 3 Wolfpack Bars.

New Business At FANZO - Winter 2025

The last quarter has been a particularly fruitful one for our sales teams with 669 new venues signed up across our 6 operating markets.
Here's a brief overview of some standout operators and notable new venues who've trusted us to make live sport in their venues more profitable, more measurable and less time-consuming.
<h1>Australia</h1>
Just in time for the summer in the southern hemisphere, we’re thrilled to announce a couple of big sales in some of Australia’s largest and best pub groups.
The Australian Venue Co. signed up a further 23 venues across the country, meaning every single one of their pubs and bars that show live sport is now a FANZO customer.
Meanwhile, Harvest Hotels signed up 7 of their iconic regional venues, offering exceptional pub experiences that feel authentic to each community they reside in.
<h1>New Zealand</h1>
Staying Down Under, we’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of FANZO New Zealand this week.
The platform will be launched in partnership with New Zealand Venue Co., sister company to Australian Venue Co. who work with FANZO in more than 150 of their sites across the Tasman.
“There’s no doubt this is great news for sports fans and operators in New Zealand”, said Dan Hope, Group Sports Marketing manager for Australia Venue Co. and New Zealand Venue Co. 
FANZO’s unique benefits for venues have definitely helped us deliver on our vision for creating local sporting institutions through consistently delivering exceptional in-venue experiences for live games and we’re delighted to be extending that partnership into new territory.”
<h1>France</h1>
Two groups are of note in France for expanding the range of hospitality venues that use FANZO to market live sport to local fans.
10.55 and UP2PLAY are similar groups that offer a large range of family entertainment in their sites - like a Centre Parks without the accommodation or an experiential bar that doesn’t just offer crazy golf but go-karting, bowling, laser quest, climbing and karaoke as well.
That said, they’ve both seen the value in organising and marketing the live sport their on-site bars and restaurants show through FANZO.
<h1>UK</h1>
Just in time for Oktoberfest, we welcomed The Bierkeller group to FANZO and their 5 sports venues in major cities across the north of England.
From beerhalls to something more boutique, The Morgan Pub Collective, specialising in gastropubs across the south of England, have signed up 7 of their venues, adding to the 3 pubs already benefiting from FANZO subscriptions.
Finally, Blind Tiger Inns in Manchester have ensured their revamped site ‘<a href="https://www.fanzo.com/en/bar/233834/the-grosvenor">The Grosvenor</a>’ opens with a bang in early November with a Master subscription on FANZO.
Formerly known as ‘The Footage’, this historic venue on Oxford Road has enjoyed a £1 million renovation and promises a truly cutting-edge hospitality experience that sports fans will love.
