Memphis soccer fans have another big World Cup night to circle this week.
The next major local watch-party anchor is USA vs. Turkey on Thursday, June 25, at Celtic Crossing in Cooper-Young. Memphis Travel lists the event from 6 to 11 p.m., with the match scheduled for 9 p.m. The watch party is free and includes live music before kickoff, game sound inside and outside, host-country food specials, Wiseacre beer specials, and a raffle.
The update is useful because the World Cup is now in full swing, and fans are moving from “where can I watch?” to “which match should I make plans around?” Celtic Crossing remains one of the most soccer-focused spots in Memphis, especially for U.S. matches, while downtown and neighborhood bars continue showing games throughout the tournament.
For fans who want a bigger crowd, the Cooper-Young watch party is likely the clearest pick this week. For a more casual outing, venues such as The Brass Door, Soul & Spirits Brewery, Max’s Sports Bar, Kooky Canuck, Bardog Tavern, Slider Inn, Birdie’s, Flyway Brewing, Brookhaven Pub & Grill, Bog & Barley, and Nashoba remain on Memphis Travel’s watch-location list.
Anyone planning to go should confirm match time, seating, cover charges, sound, and weather plans directly with the venue before heading out. For high-interest matches, arriving early is the safest move. |
