Los Angeles spreads its Premier League allegiances across twenty miles of freeways and a dozen neighborhoods, and the city's soccer bars reflect that sprawl. Arsenal supporters claim Studio City and Long Beach. Liverpool fans hold court in Culver City. Chelsea's faithful share the same Culver City pub, staking out different corners depending on the fixture. These aren't casual viewing spots—they're headquarters for official supporter clubs that open before dawn, serve full English breakfasts at 4 a.m., and track the Premier League standings with the intensity of accountants closing fiscal quarters. If you want to watch a match in LA, you don't just pick a bar. You pick a tribe.
Karpo tracks live kickoff times, bar opening hours, and supporter-club gatherings across Los Angeles so you never miss a match or show up to a closed door.
The Fox & Hounds: Arsenal's pre-dawn fortress in Studio City
At 11100 Ventura Boulevard, The Fox & Hounds has been LA's original Arsenal pub since 1998. When West Coast kickoffs demand a 4 a.m. alarm, this is the only reliable option in the city. The doors genuinely open at four in the morning, and the full English breakfast is ready for anyone brave enough to show up before dawn. Two huge projector screens and fifteen HDTVs cover every angle, and the fish and chips have earned a reputation as the best in Los Angeles—a claim that holds up even when you're stone-cold sober at sunrise.
Arsenal Los Angeles, the official Arsenal America branch, calls this home. The crowd skews toward diehards who have been making the pilgrimage for years, and first-timers are folded into the atmosphere without ceremony. The bar's longevity speaks for itself: two decades of early mornings, late-season drama, and the kind of loyalty that survives relegation battles and ownership changes alike. For neutrals, this is a place to observe what supporter culture looks like when it has roots.
Parking on Ventura Boulevard is easier than you'd expect at 4 a.m., but weekend matches after 7 a.m. can fill the street quickly. The projector screens are the focal point, so if you want prime seating, show up twenty minutes before kickoff. The breakfast menu runs until early afternoon, and the kitchen keeps pace with the bar's unusual hours. If you're planning to watch a Serie A match on a Sunday morning, this place also opens early enough to catch Juventus or Inter Milan before the Premier League slate begins.
Joxer Daly's: where Liverpool and Chelsea stake rival claims
Joxer Daly's at 11168 Washington Boulevard in Culver City operates as two bars in one, depending on the fixture. When Liverpool plays, the pub belongs to the Reds—the Liverpool FC Supporters of Los Angeles have made this their headquarters for years. When Chelsea takes the pitch, Los Angeles Blues takes over. The dynamic works because both groups respect the unwritten seating territories: Liverpool claims the area near the projector screen, Chelsea gravitates toward the bar-side TVs, and everyone knows the rules without needing a map.
The AV setup is straightforward—eight flat screens behind the bar and one large projection screen behind the stage. It's not flashy, but it's effective. Sound goes to the main match, and the volume climbs as the stakes do. For big fixtures like Fulham vs Chelsea or a Liverpool-Manchester United clash, arrive at least twenty minutes early. The projector-screen seats disappear first, and once the regulars settle in, you're standing or watching from the periphery.
The food here punches above the typical sports-bar weight class. The ranch dressing is made from scratch in-house and has developed a following among regulars who swear by it. Irish breakfast is available for early matches, and the rest of the menu covers solid pub staples at prices that feel like a bargain for the Westside. Drinks are cheap, pours are generous, and the bartenders know the rhythm of a ninety-minute match. The owner and staff have built a reputation for warmth that makes first-timers feel like they've been coming for years.
Joxer Daly's also serves as a gathering spot for American Outlaws during international matches, so if the US national team is playing, expect the same energy that defines Premier League mornings. Street parking on Washington Boulevard is usually available, but weekend mornings can get tight. If you're neutral, pick your spot carefully—the Liverpool and Chelsea sections have distinct atmospheres, and wandering into the wrong one during a derby can feel awkward.
Auld Dubliner Long Beach: Beach City Gooners and the Pine Avenue scene
At 71 South Pine Avenue in Long Beach, Auld Dubliner serves as the home bar for Beach City Gooners, an official Arsenal supporters club. The back section near the dartboards is Arsenal territory on match days, and the group has been meeting here long enough that the staff knows the kickoff schedule by heart. The pub's Irish hospitality translates well to soccer mornings—early doors, strong coffee, and a menu that doesn't treat breakfast as an afterthought.
The bar's location in downtown Long Beach gives it a different vibe than the Westside or Valley options. Pine Avenue has a walkable, neighborhood-pub feel, and Auld Dubliner benefits from being part of that fabric rather than a standalone destination. The crowd mixes locals, Arsenal faithful, and the occasional wanderer who stumbled in for a pint and stayed for the match. The atmosphere gets loud when Arsenal scores, but it's not the kind of place where you need to know the chants to feel welcome.
For visitors, Long Beach offers a different match-day rhythm. You can park in the downtown structure on 3rd Street and walk over, or take the Metro A Line to Downtown Long Beach station and walk five minutes. The bar's proximity to the waterfront means you can turn a morning match into a longer outing—watch Arsenal at 7 a.m., grab brunch on the waterfront, and still have most of your Saturday intact. If you're tracking Premier League standings and Arsenal's in a tight race, this is where the tension shows up in real time.
O'Malley's on Main: Seal Beach's under-the-radar soccer outpost
O'Malley's on Main in Seal Beach doesn't advertise itself as a soccer bar, but it's become a quiet gathering spot for fans who want to watch without the intensity of a supporter-club atmosphere. The bar shows Premier League, Serie A, and other European matches with consistency, and the crowd skews toward regulars who appreciate the low-key vibe. This is the spot for fans who want to catch the match without committing to a full-throttle watch party.
Seal Beach's Main Street has a small-town feel despite being part of the LA metro sprawl, and O'Malley's fits that identity. The bar opens early for big fixtures, the kitchen serves solid pub fare, and the TVs are positioned well enough that you're not craning your neck to follow the action. If you're in South Bay or Orange County and don't want to drive to Culver City or Studio City, this is a reliable fallback with parking that won't make you late for kickoff.
33 Taps and the Westside's expanding soccer map
33 Taps has two LA locations—one in Culver City at 9739 Culver Boulevard and another downtown at 1240 South Figueroa Street. The Culver City outpost is an official LAFC Bar Partner, but it also draws Premier League crowds on weekend mornings. The bar opens early for European matches, the beer list runs thirty-three deep, and the food is a step up from standard sports-bar fare. The downtown location serves as the USA game-day headquarters, so if you're tracking both domestic and international fixtures, you can catch different atmospheres at the same chain.
The Culver City spot benefits from being walkable from the Expo Line's Culver City station, which makes it accessible without a car. The neighborhood vibe is more relaxed than the downtown location, and the bar's elevated pub menu—think smash burgers and loaded fries—pairs well with a morning match. If you're bouncing between venues, 33 Taps Culver City sits close enough to Joxer Daly's that you could theoretically start at one and walk to the other, though most fans pick a bar and stay put once the match begins.
Practical notes
Most LA soccer bars open between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. for Premier League matches, depending on kickoff times. Parking is easiest in the early morning; weekend matches after 9 a.m. fill street spots quickly, especially near The Fox & Hounds and Joxer Daly's. Metro access works for 33 Taps Culver City (Expo Line) and Auld Dubliner Long Beach (A Line). For big fixtures—derbies, top-four clashes, or anything involving a Premier League standings shake-up—arrive twenty minutes before kickoff to secure seating near the main screens. Most bars serve full breakfast menus during morning matches. If you're planning to watch Serie A before the Premier League slate, confirm opening times directly with the bar since Italian match schedules shift week to week. Always drink responsibly and plan your ride home before kickoff.
