Manchester World Cup Screening Guide

Fancy watching the World Cup in one of Manchester's most iconic spots? Definitely Maybe Bar Afflecks is hosting a free World Cup screening on Saturday 27 June 2026 at 20:30, perfect for football fans wanting to catch the action without breaking the bank. This 18+ event is ideal if you're after a proper match day atmosphere with a crowd of genuine football enthusiasts in the heart of the Northern Quarter.

The Northern Quarter venue itself is a Manchester institution, housed in the legendary Afflecks building that's been a cultural hub since the 90s. Definitely Maybe Bar brings that indie, authentic Manchester vibe to every event, making it way more interesting than your standard sports bar. You'll be surrounded by the quarter's independent shops, street art, and buzzing atmosphere that makes this area special.

Getting there's dead easy – the Northern Quarter is just a short walk from Piccadilly or Market Street. Arrive early to grab a decent spot, especially if it's a big match, and expect a lively crowd of local supporters. Bring your mates, wear your colours, and soak up that proper Manchester match day experience in one of the city's best-loved independent venues.
