The U.S. men's national team's path to Brazil 2014 continues Friday night with the first of two World Cup qualifying matches against Jamaica in a five-day span.
The game in Kingston, Jamaica, is the first U.S. men's national team game to be televised on beIN Sport, a network that is being carried on Dish Network and DirecTV and has begun to be rolled out by Comcast in different markets around the country (call your local provider for the latest information leading up to first kick). While it makes for a more ideal scenario than the pay-per-view situation that surrounded the last U.S. qualifier in Guatemala, it still leaves a good portion of fans without a home viewing option.
Fortunately, it's Friday night, and the amount of bars around the country showing the game should be more than sufficient for fans hoping to see the United States win a World Cup qualifier in Jamaica for the first time. Here is a list of official U.S. Soccer bars, although they won't be the only ones carrying the match.
Where will you be watching tonight's game?

Yes it’s usually pretty good at Legends
Anyone know of a place to watch in Nassau County, Long Island?
Once they got it, they took it off again.
Banter in Williamsburg (brooklyn)
BeIN Sports COMCAST UPDATE:
– Channel went live yesterday
– It’s in with the Spanish stations on 651 (bay area at least)
– Just like GOL TV it broadcasts in Spanish and English. Just go into the cable settings menu and change the language preference from “channel” to “English”. And yes – Ray/ Phil will call tonights game
– YOU DON”T NEED THE SPANISH PACKAGE to get the channel. But you do need the premium sports package which gets you GOL TV, FSC, ESPN U, etc…
Call COMCAST ASAP and the channel will be up before the game. Too bad lots of you won’t have set your DVRs but best of luck either way!!!
me too.
At The Press Room in sunny Santa Barbara, CA!!!
It will be on DirectTV etc just tune in at 8pm ET time.
Carolina Ale House. Augusta, GA
I’ll be at Trinity Hall or The Londoner (in Addison) depending on where my group of buddies decides to go.
San Gabriel valley, Inland empire, and Orange county all have chapter bars.
Ill be at Paddys in Philly watching with Charlie and the gang. If you love adventure and tomfoolery you are welcome to join us.
Will anyone be watching this in Buffalo, NY?!
Can anyone provide more information about this? I have DirecTV and would like to order the free trial.
I am not going to watch because it is not on TV in Utah. I have Comcast. This is most stupid thing ever. Just play the darn game on TV!
That’s great except that at least in my area, it’s not listed for tonight on 620.
You got a 60 foot television in your house?! Most impressive.
This is not this hard people.
Most bars have DirectTV with sports pack so all you need to do is tell them to tune to channel 620. Repeat the Channel number a couple of times and they will change the channel
For Dish its 408.
Again ask a couple of times they will do it.
You should check out AJ Hudson’s instead. Near the Globe, better food, better beers.
Why Leona’s? Because it’s big?
Still gonna rep SmallBar on Division.
Forget the USMNT, I am watching the IMPORTANT game live, Appo high vs St Georges Tech in Delaware.
🙂
When I lived NE of Philly I used to watch games at the Iron Abbey in Horsham, I’m sure they’ll have their back room set up.
FilmBar in Phoenix. Normally watch at 16th St but there’s a gathering up the block from FilmBar to celebrate the arrival of Phoenix FC. FilmBar offered to host AO and anyone else who may want to watch.
Nashville TN – Winner’s in midtown is setting up the patio so we can watch the game there. Big group walking over from Vandy a little bit before the game.
3Lions Pub on Colfax in the Mile High City!

i don’t know anything on the north shore. into the city Phoenix Landing and the Banshee are great. Please post a reply if you find something good up there.
Well you can watch on delay Saturday morning on BeIN, in the Denver area with DirecTV, but apparently no live broadcast. So how are bars seeing it live?
Anyone know of a bar in Westchester County, NY?
Danny Coyle’s in San Francisco.
I called Phoenix Landing in Cambridge and they said they would be playing it. I also asked at the Cherry Tree in West Newton, and they said that they would play it if asked (don’t think they will have the sound on, though).
One of the best soccer pubs I’ve ever been to!
Anywhere else in LA?
MacDinton’s in Tampa FL on Howard Ave just south of Kennedy.
I dislike BEIN Sports right now…..no game in my house tonight.
I’ll be watching it at Springbok (South African Bar) in Van Nuys, CA. For those in the San Fernando valley, who don’t want to drive to Hollywood during rush hour, this might be a place to go to. I called yesterday and they said they would put it on.
Comcast has only added the Spanish version now. People have found that you can actually flip the commentary to English via the Audio Setup menu, but the schedule is not the same. The US game is showing on a delay on that channel, as they’re showing the Argentina game live.
I’ll be at the local AO bar to watch it live and in HD (which Comcast also doesn’t offer.)
Smithfield NYC!!!
At home, tape delayed on beIN SPORT ñ through Comcast in Seattle. Being on the west coast, it won’t be too late and is better for me that trying to leave work early to get to a pub.
Austin, TX Cuatro’s with the American Outlaws
Mavis Winkles in Independence, Ohio, with American Outlaws Cleveland Chapter! We had a great outing there for the win over Mexico, hoping for three points.
I’ll be checking out one of the Center City Philadelphia bars. Most likely the Liberty Bar.
Game actually starts at 8pm ET — so 5-7 PT is accurate.
Tonight’s match doesn’t start until 8 pm eastern, so you aren’t going to miss anything. Match starts at 5 pm PT.
Laughing Man Tavern on 13th & G NW is going to be the spot in DC tonight.
Is there really a bar called Conor O’Neill’s? That is the name of a friend of mine.
Diesel Filling Station in Atlanta, GA @dieselatlanta
Right here at work! Just found out yesterday that we get beIN Sport. Getting paid to watch my team!
