In the wide world of the Internet, there is the possibility with a good connection to stream games on your computer or with the right digital setup even to a WiFi Television. Streaming games live over the Internet has been possible for a few years and is starting to gain a lot of traction.

One of the truly best ways to enjoy English Football in Madrid is by visiting one of the many Irish or Scottish pubs or the many sports bars. Of course searching out your Irish and Scottish pubs can be a chore so they are listed below to make it easier for you.

Sports bars can be found all over Madrid, but finding one that is televising English footy on their TVs may be a bit more of a challenge.

You will have better luck if looking at bars in tourist areas where they would be catering to English and American patrons. However, if you are looking for a good time with friends, a great social atmosphere and beer on tap a Pub should be your first choice. Choose among the many below:

Elcano Tavern

Elcano Tavern (C/. Alonso Cano, 57) – a new Irish Pub making waves with its great party type atmosphere.

Finnegan

Finnegan (Plaza de las Salesas) – is best known for its very own Rugby team the Madrid Lions, but being football fans is a close second. Check out this Irish pub for grub and futbol.

Irish Pubs

The Irish Rover and The James Joyce are probably the best well known Irish pubs in the city and are busy, noisy and rowdy, usually just how footies like to watch their games.

Other notable Irish pubs include: Larry’s, Molly Malone’s, Moore’s & Co, O’Connell St, O’Connors, O’Neills, Public House, St. Patrick’s Abbey, The Celtic Cross, The Quiet Man, and the Triskel Tavern. (Before you head out to one of these bars, always check their opening hours online!)
