England's World Cup quarter-final clash is heading to one of Manchester's most iconic venues on Saturday 11 July 2026. This is your chance to watch the Three Lions in a knockout match that could see them progress to the semi-finals, all while soaking up the electric atmosphere in a historic setting that's been part of Manchester's sporting culture for over a century. At just £6, it's brilliant value for what promises to be a memorable evening of football.
Victoria Baths on Oxford Road is a proper Manchester institution, a Grade II-listed Edwardian swimming complex that's been beautifully restored and now hosts community events and screenings. The venue's stunning architecture and intimate setting create something special that you won't get at a standard sports bar – it's got character, history, and that genuine local feel that makes Manchester venues unique. The baths are right in the city centre, minutes from Piccadilly Station and surrounded by cafes and pubs.
Getting there couldn't be easier – it's a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly station or hop on any city centre bus. Arrive early to grab a good spot and soak in the pre-match buzz with fellow fans. Note that this is an 18+ event, so bring ID. The atmosphere will be buzzing, so expect a lively crowd of passionate England supporters all willing the team on.
