Watch the World Cup in style at Definitely Maybe Bar Afflecks on Tuesday 23 June 2026, where you can catch the action on the big screen surrounded by fellow football fans in one of Manchester's most iconic venues. It's completely free to get in, making it a brilliant night out without breaking the bank, and the 18+ age restriction means you'll be in an adults-only atmosphere perfect for proper match-day banter.
Afflecks in the Northern Quarter is a legendary Manchester institution, packed with character and history that only adds to the buzzing atmosphere during major sporting events. The bar's eclectic vibe and rooted-in-the-community feel means you're not just watching football – you're experiencing it in a genuinely Mancunian setting that's been a hub for local culture for decades.
