Without fail, sports are happening in Texas. In Austin, which went without a major pro sports team until Austin FC’s inaugural season in 2021, college football reigns supreme. Nothing beats the roar of 100,00 at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium, but you
can’t watch the Longhorns in person every day. For those other, non-Longhorn days, there are tons of bars in town with football, basketball, soccer, baseball, and hockey dominating screens all year long.
No matter what team you’re rooting for, these sports bars have enough TVs and snacks to keep you satiated. Sausages and pitchers of beer near the University of Texas at Scholz Garten are hard to beat for ‘Horns games. If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, there’s no place better than burger bar Billy’s on Burnet to wear your cheesehead. Soccer fans are in luck with games at Irish pub B.D. Riley’s in Mueller.
While not listed below, many of Austin’s best breweries also host watch parties or have large screens for sports. For those looking to tailgate, scope out Austin’s best bets for tailgating with our complete guide to tailgating for UT Longhorn games.
