World Cup 2026 Group L round of 32

England’s first knockout match of the 2026 World Cup, screened in our King’s Cross basement venue on the big screen. Air conditioned, theatre style seating, proper sound system, cold pints from the bar upstairs. This Round of 32 match is crucial for England’s progression.

This is the match England play if they win Group L, which the bookmakers have at around 75% likely. Kick off is 5pm UK time at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium against the third placed team from Group E, H, I, J or K. We won’t know the exact opponent until the group stage finishes on 27 June, but realistically the candidates include Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Uruguay, Senegal, Norway, Colombia or Austria. Some of those are tougher draws than others, but every team at this Round of 32 stage has earned their place.

5pm UK is a great time for a knockout game. Doors open at midday, so you can roll in for our weekday lunch offer (sharing platters, sandwiches, mains with a drink included from 12 to 3) and stay through to kick off. The basement opens an hour before the game.

The first proper knockout match of the World Cup. Win or go home.

How it works

The Harrison basement is set up as a screening room for England matches. Around 50 theatre style seats, big screen, full bar service. Air conditioning means it stays comfortable even on a 30°C July afternoon. Food can be ordered from the main pub menu upstairs and brought down.
