Where to Watch Live Football & Sports in Kathmandu
Fight night: Rabindra Dhant's Road to UFC semifinal — Nepal time, walkout estimate and every bar screening it are on the Road to UFC page.
When there's a real match on, half of Kathmandu is deciding the same thing: which bar has the projector up tonight. The dependable answer is the sports lounges — Arena Sports Lounge, Tranzit, London Pub and the Durbarmarg strip put the Premier League, Champions League and the biggest cricket fixtures on the big screen, while the Thamel pubs light up whenever a marquee clash or a Nepal international lands. Review sites can never keep a live screening schedule current, so this page tracks which venues have actually confirmed a match — with kickoff times in Nepal time.
It's an evergreen calendar: the EPL and UCL run most of the year, and cricket barely stops. Pair a screening with the rest of the night — see what else is on across Kathmandu nightlife, browse every sports event in the valley, or check what's happening tonight.

Frequently asked questions
What time do big matches kick off in Nepal time (NPT)?
Nepal is UTC+5:45, so European fixtures land late here. A 3 PM Saturday Premier League kickoff in the UK is a comfortable 7:45 PM in Nepal — prime bar time. An 8 PM UK evening game becomes 12:45 AM NPT, and Champions League nights kick off around 12:45–1:45 AM Nepal time depending on the season. Cricket is kinder: IPL evening games start 7:15 PM NPT, just 15 minutes ahead of India. Every screening confirmed on this page lists the match's actual start time in Nepal time, so you don't have to do the conversion.
Which bars in Kathmandu screen the Premier League?
The reliable Premier League spots are the dedicated sports lounges — Arena Sports Lounge, Tranzit, and the Durbarmarg pubs like London Pub tend to put every big weekend fixture up on the projector. Thamel bars follow the marquee clashes (a Liverpool–Arsenal or a Manchester derby fills every room), while the smaller Jhamsikhel and Pulchowk pubs are hit-and-miss on midweek games. When a venue has confirmed a specific screening it shows up on this page with the match and kickoff time.
Do football screenings have a cover charge or need booking?
Most weekend and weeknight screenings are free to walk into — you just buy your drinks and food. Cover charges only appear for the genuinely huge nights: a Champions League final, an El Clásico, or an India cricket knockout, when the popular lounges take a per-head or minimum-spend booking to guarantee a seat. For those, message the venue a day ahead. Regular league games are almost always turn-up-and-grab-a-stool.
Where can I watch the late 2 AM kickoffs in Kathmandu?
European kickoffs land at brutal hours in Nepal time — a 12:30 AM UK evening game is a 6:15 AM Nepal start, and Champions League nights run 1 AM to 3 AM NPT. Only a handful of Thamel and Durbarmarg venues stay open that late, and they usually announce a specific all-nighter screening rather than doing it every week. Follow the ones that post their late-match plans, and check this page — a confirmed 2 AM screening will list its actual NPT start time.
Can I watch cricket and other sports too, not just football?
Yes — cricket is arguably the bigger draw here. Nepal internationals, IPL nights, and India–Pakistan fixtures pack the sports lounges harder than any football game, and the same venues screen Champions League, big tennis finals and Formula 1 when they land. This page pulls in every confirmed sports screening across Kathmandu, not football alone.
