Sports Bar in Edinburgh

Whether it's the Six Nations at Murrayfield, derby day between Hearts and Hibs, or big European nights, this city knows how to bring the energy. The pubs are always buzzing when Scotland is on the pitch, and you’ll find fans packed in, cheering every try, goal, and knockout. No matter what sport you’re into—Premier League, Champions League, UFC, or even golf—there’s always a great spot to watch. And with FANZO, finding a pub near you that’s showing the game is easy! Grab a pint, find a table, and get ready for the action.

The Scottish capital is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cities in the world and a great place to find sports pubs in Edinburgh. It is also, of course, one of the most vibrant in the summer with half of the UK’s population seemingly swarming up for the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe for some world class and, just occasionally, abysmal theatre, comedy and music. No matter what time of year you’re visiting, or even if you live there, you can use FANZO as a bar finder to make sure you don’t miss the big game.

If the game is live on TV, we’ll find pubs in Edinburgh that are showing it. From Scottish Football to the Barclays Premier League; Heineken Cup Rugby to Six Nations, we’ll sort you out. We’ll also give you all the information you need about the pub in order to choose the right spot for you. How many screens it has, whether it shows games in 3D or HD, how big it is, whether it has a garden – hey, we’ll even tell you if you can take your pets in with you. That’s what makes FANZO the best sports pub finder in the UK.

So what’s our advice? First put your postcode in the search box above the games (on the left). It’s might seem complicated, but this is a lot more helpful than saying that you’re on Princes Street or at the Uni. Once you’ve done that, we’ll let you know which Edinburgh sports bars and pubs are nearest and what they’re showing – it couldn’t be easier!
