The time difference means every World Cup match has kicked off in the middle of the night for fans in Bali. But a tournament that comes around only once every four years is worth staying awake for.
To match the excitement, many sports bars across the island have extended their hours so supporters can watch the action live. The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina begins at 3:00 a.m., from Sunday into Monday. We’ve rounded up the best venues where you can catch the biggest game of the tournament surrounded by fellow football fans.
