World Cup Norway Vs France

The World Cup match between Norway and France is being shown live at the Black Lion in Brighton on 26 June 2026. The pub is positioning itself as a central hub for the game, describing the event as a high-energy football celebration. They are transforming the space to ensure the match is visible from various points, utilising a large projector and a surround sound system to broadcast the action. It is a setup designed to make the pub feel like a destination for the match, focusing on the live broadcast experience.

The Black Lion, located at 14 Black Lion Street, BN1 1ND, is making use of both its indoor area and its heated garden for the screening. This means there will be screens available in both sections of the venue, which should help accommodate the crowd throughout the evening. It is strictly an 18+ event, so make sure you have your ID with you when you arrive. The broadcast is scheduled to run from 20:00 until 23:00, covering the full duration of the match.

Entry to the event is free. While there are tickets available that offer 'queue jump' access, it is important to note that these do not guarantee entry if the venue reaches its maximum capacity. Given the nature of these screenings, it is usually a good idea to arrive early to secure your spot, regardless of whether you have a ticket or not. The queue jump option is essentially a way to manage the entry process, but it does not override the physical capacity limits of the pub. If you have any specific questions about the setup or need to check on the status of the venue, you can reach them directly on 01273 711884. It is a straightforward setup: the game, the screens, and the pub environment for the duration of the match.
