If you are working out where to watch NFL football in Manhattan, the first question is not which bar is biggest. It is which bar your team’s fans already fill every Sunday. This guide sorts the borough by team, lists the kickoff windows, and shows where our own West Village bar fits. For the full city picture, including Brooklyn, see our guide to watching NFL football in New York.
The best place to watch NFL football in Manhattan is the bar your team’s fan club calls home: Penn 6 for the Bills, Kettle of Fish for the Packers, Printers Alley for the Steelers, Tir na nOg Times Square for the Patriots and Haswell Green’s for the Browns, with big multi-screen rooms for everything else.
Giants and Jets fans have no single home bar in Manhattan, so any neighborhood sports bar with sound on works. See the full team table.
When are NFL games on in 2026?
NFL games in 2026 kick off in six regular windows, all in Eastern Time, which is Manhattan’s local time. The season opened on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, runs 18 weeks, and ends with Week 18 on Saturday, January 9 and Sunday, January 10, 2027. Super Bowl LXI is on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, on ESPN.
| Window | Kickoff (ET) | Where it airs | Typical final whistle (ET) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday Night Football | 8:15 PM | Prime Video | about 11:30 PM |
| Sunday early | 1:00 PM | Regional broadcast; out-of-market games on NFL Sunday Ticket | about 4:15 PM |
| Sunday late | 4:05 PM or 4:25 PM | Regional broadcast; out-of-market games on NFL Sunday Ticket | about 7:30 PM |
| Sunday Night Football | 8:20 PM | NBC | about 11:35 PM |
| Monday Night Football | 8:15 PM | ESPN / ABC | about 11:30 PM |
| Saturday (Weeks 17 and 18) | 1:00 PM, 4:30 PM, 8:00 PM | Peacock / NBC, Netflix, ESPN / ABC | varies |
Three dates break the pattern. Thanksgiving has three games on Thursday, November 26 (CBS at 1:00 PM, FOX at 4:30 PM, NBC at 8:20 PM ET), plus a Wednesday night game on Netflix the evening before. Black Friday has a 3:00 PM ET game on Prime Video. Christmas Day has two games on Netflix, at 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM ET.
Times can still move. Under the NFL’s flexible scheduling rules, Sunday Night Football can be changed up to twice in Weeks 5 to 10 and in any week from 11 to 17, and Monday games can be flexed from Week 12. Check the game time again on the Tuesday before you plan a night out.
- Sunday at 1:00 PM and 4:25 PM ET is when fan bars are fullest, so if you watch NFL football in Manhattan on a Sunday, arrive early for popular teams.
- Out-of-market games need NFL Sunday Ticket, which is sold through YouTube TV and YouTube, so ask the bar before you go.
- Night games finish around 11:30 PM ET, so check the bar’s closing time, not just its opening time.
Where to watch NFL football in Manhattan, team by team
A Manhattan NFL fan bar is a bar that a team’s organized New York fan club, or the bar itself, names as its home for game days. These rooms fill with one team’s jerseys, show that team’s game with the sound on, and tend to reserve space for club members first. The table lists only bars confirmed on the bar’s own website or the fan club’s official page.
| Team | Bar | Address | Neighborhood | Who names it | Sound or screens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buffalo Bills | Penn 6 | 132 W 31st St | Midtown, near Penn Station | NYC Bills Backers club site | Not published |
| Buffalo Bills | The Rutherford | W 33rd St and 8th Ave | Midtown | The bar’s own Bills page | “Multiple” screens, live DJ |
| Buffalo Bills | The Winslow | 243 E 14th St | East Village | The bar’s own Bills page | “Many big screens” |
| Green Bay Packers | Kettle of Fish | 59 Christopher St | West Village | The bar’s own Packers page | Sound on all TVs |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | Printers Alley | 215 W 40th St | Midtown, Theater District | The bar, as Steelers Nation NYC home | Not published |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | Hibernia | 401 W 50th St | Hell’s Kitchen | The bar’s own Steelers page | 6 HDTVs and a projector |
| Philadelphia Eagles | Wogies | 39 Greenwich Ave and 44 Trinity Pl | West Village and Financial District | The bar’s own site | Not published |
| Philadelphia Eagles | The Laurels | 231 2nd Ave | East Village | The bar’s own site | Sound on the big screen |
| New England Patriots | Tir na nOg Times Square | 315 W 39th St | Midtown | Patriots official fan club registry | Not published |
| Miami Dolphins | Slattery’s Midtown Pub | 8 E 36th St | Murray Hill | DolfansNYC club site | Not published |
| Cleveland Browns | Haswell Green’s | 240 W 52nd St | Midtown, Theater District | Big Apple Browns Backers, July 2026 post | Holds 300 or more |
Two house rules are worth knowing before you go. Big Apple Browns Backers says doors open 90 minutes before kickoff and that opposing fans, Steelers fans included, are not admitted. The Patriots club listing puts its usual turnout at about 100 fans per game. If your team plays one of these clubs, pick a neutral room instead.
Where to watch the Giants and Jets in Manhattan
Giants and Jets fans who want to watch NFL football in Manhattan can use almost any sports bar in the borough, because both teams’ games air on local New York broadcast and cable channels rather than needing NFL Sunday Ticket. That is the honest reason neither team has one dominant Manhattan home bar the way out-of-town clubs do. Both teams play home games at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
| Date | Team | Game | Kickoff (ET) | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday, October 25, 2026 | Giants | at Texans | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| Sunday, October 25, 2026 | Jets | vs Dolphins | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| Sunday, November 1, 2026 | Giants | Bye week | No game | No game |
| Sunday, November 1, 2026 | Jets | vs Raiders | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| Sunday, November 8, 2026 | Giants | at Eagles | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| Sunday, November 8, 2026 | Jets | at Chiefs | 1:00 PM | CBS |
Two of these dates clash with fan-club rooms. On October 25 the Jets host the Dolphins, so Slattery’s Midtown Pub will be a Dolphins room, and on November 8 the Giants visit Philadelphia, so Wogies and The Laurels will be Eagles rooms.
Big Manhattan sports bars that publish a screen count
If you want to watch NFL football in Manhattan with every game on at once, choose a large room that publishes its screen count. Most Manhattan bars do not publish one, so only two made this table, and our West Village bar is listed on the same terms.
| Bar | Address | Neighborhood | Screens (as published) | Sunday Ticket stated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Bowery Beer Garden | 93 Bowery | Chinatown, Lower East Side | 50 or more | Not stated |
| Smithfield Hall | 138 W 25th St | Chelsea | 26 inside, 8 outdoors | Yes |
| The Beer Garage West Village | 118 Christopher St | West Village | Not published (multiple large screens) | Ask the bar |
Smithfield Hall wins this table for a fan who wants a guaranteed out-of-market game, because it states both a count and Sunday Ticket on its own site. We do not publish a screen count yet, and that is a fair reason to call us before you come for a specific game.
Watching NFL football in the West Village
The West Village is one of the easiest Manhattan neighborhoods for an NFL Sunday, because two team bars and a neighborhood sports bar sit within a few minutes of each other along Christopher Street and Greenwich Avenue. Kettle of Fish hosts the Packers, Wogies hosts the Eagles, and The Beer Garage at 118 Christopher Street shows the wider Sunday slate. For kickoff-by-kickoff detail, read our West Village NFL guide.
The Beer Garage West Village
Our scores, using the method below: Team fan culture 4/10 · Screens published 3/10 · Food for a full game 7/10 · Outdoor space 9/10 · Late night game coverage 5/10
The Beer Garage West Village is a garage-themed neighborhood sports bar with darts, rotating local craft beer on tap and a heated backyard garden. It is not a single-team bar, which suits a mixed group or a fan whose team has no Manhattan club.
- Best for: mixed groups, Giants and Jets fans, and anyone who wants the garden between games.
- Skip if: you want a room full of one team’s fans; go to that team’s bar in the table above.
- Possible downside: our published hours disagree with our Google listing, so a night game may run past closing. Call first.
| From or to | Lines or role | About how far on foot |
|---|---|---|
| Christopher St-Stonewall station | 1 train | about 4 minutes |
| W 4 St-Wash Sq station | A, C, E, B, D, F, M | about 7 minutes |
| 14 St / 8 Av station | A, C, E, L | about 10 minutes |
| Kettle of Fish, 59 Christopher St | Packers bar | about 4 minutes |
| Wogies, 39 Greenwich Ave | Eagles bar | about 8 minutes |
Hours matter most for night games, and ours are not settled. Our website lists Monday to Thursday 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Friday 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM, Saturday 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM and Sunday 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Our Google listing shows a noon opening, a midnight close on weeknights and a 10:00 PM close on Sunday. Until the two match, call 646-490-4301 before a Thursday, Sunday or Monday night game.
| Game-day plate | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Our Famous Garage Wings | A pound of double-fried wings, seven sauces | $14 |
| Garage Stack Nachos | Chicken or seasoned beef | $17 |
| The Garage Angus Burger | Half-pound, aged cheddar, bacon, onion rings, fries | $18 |
| Crunch Pickles | Hand-breaded dill chips, spicy aioli | $14 |
| Fresh Cut Potatoes, garage loaded | Cheddar, applewood bacon, chipotle ranch | $14 |
| Village Philly | Shaved ribeye, beer cheese, hero roll, fries | $20 |
Gluten-free note: The West Village kitchen at 118 Christopher Street is a standard kitchen, and its menu uses breading, brioche and flour tortillas. Our 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen is at The Beer Garage Park Slope in Brooklyn, 148 5th Avenue. See our Park Slope sports bar page and its Park Slope NFL guide.

How we built this guide
We built this guide to where to watch NFL football in Manhattan from primary sources only, read on September 17, 2026. Kickoff windows, networks and flex rules come from the NFL’s own 2026 schedule release and its flexible scheduling page. Each fan bar was confirmed on the bar’s own website or the fan club’s official page; two bars that appear in roundups, one listed for the Saints and one for the Bears, were left out because no primary page confirmed them. Walk times are straight-line estimates, not timed walks, and our own scores on a 10-point scale reflect only what each bar publishes.

FAQ
Where can I watch NFL games in Manhattan?
You can watch NFL games in Manhattan at team fan bars and at large multi-screen sports bars. Penn 6 hosts the Bills, Kettle of Fish the Packers, Printers Alley the Steelers, Tir na nOg Times Square the Patriots and Haswell Green’s the Browns. Smithfield Hall in Chelsea publishes 34 screens and NFL Sunday Ticket, and neighborhood bars such as The Beer Garage in the West Village show the Sunday slate.
What bar do Bills fans go to in NYC?
Bills fans in Manhattan gather at Penn 6, 132 West 31st Street near Penn Station, which the NYC Bills Backers club names as its home bar. The Rutherford near West 33rd Street and The Winslow on East 14th Street also promote themselves as Bills bars on their own websites. Arrive early for 1:00 PM ET kickoffs, because club bars fill quickly.
Where do Packers fans watch games in NYC?
Packers fans in Manhattan watch at Kettle of Fish, 59 Christopher Street in the West Village. The bar’s own Packers page says every television has the sound on during Green Bay games. It is about a four-minute walk from Christopher St-Stonewall station on the 1 train, and a short walk from The Beer Garage at 118 Christopher Street.
Do Manhattan bars show every NFL game?
Not every Manhattan bar shows every NFL game. Out-of-market Sunday afternoon games require NFL Sunday Ticket, which is sold through YouTube TV and YouTube, and many bars do not state whether they carry it. Smithfield Hall in Chelsea states it on its website. For any other bar, call ahead and name the game you want to watch.
Is there a sports bar with gluten-free food in Manhattan?
The Beer Garage does not offer a gluten-free kitchen in Manhattan; its West Village kitchen at 118 Christopher Street is a standard kitchen. The Beer Garage Park Slope, at 148 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, runs a 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen and shows NFL games. Anyone with celiac disease should still ask staff about their own needs before ordering.
What time do NFL games start in New York?
NFL games in New York start at 1:00 PM and 4:25 PM ET on Sundays, 8:20 PM ET on Sunday nights, 8:15 PM ET on Monday nights and 8:15 PM ET on Thursday nights in 2026. Some late Sunday games start at 4:05 PM ET, and flexible scheduling can move games, so recheck times during the week of the game.
Final verdict
For an out-of-town fan, the right place to watch NFL football in Manhattan is your own team’s fan bar, because nothing else matches the crowd and the sound. For Giants, Jets or mixed groups, pick a neighborhood bar close to home; in the West Village, we would be glad to see you at 118 Christopher Street, as long as you call first for a night game.
